Writing troubles

So apparently I wasn't back for long, since it's been 15 days since my last post. However, SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED in the meantime!

Firstly, my job has been sucking up a lot of my time. I've seriously spent ~25 hours a week working my ass off. It's gonna pay off though. It's quite alright though, working the register can be repetitive and tiresome, but most customers are open to small talk if you're friendly, and that helps the time pass. Also my colleagues are great and we can joke around all the time. I'm not regretting the time spent working at all.

Secondly, I got my results and guess what. I GRADUATED. I didn't even have to retake an exam. I could've, in order to improve my grade, but I didn't think it was worth it since I can get into the study I applied for as long as I graduate. My graduation ceremony is next week Thursday, and after that I'm officially free of my school. It's a weird thought.

I've actually also made a big step towards a new life: I may have gotten myself a room to rent during my time in University. I've made arrangements to come check it out Sunday night, so that's gonna be super interesting. It's kind of scary, but I'm really glad I seem to have found something decent way before uni season starts in September.

But apart from all that, most important of all, I've been doing something majorly creative. For the first time in my life, I am in the beginnings of trying my hand at writing a story of fiction. I am really excited for it, even though it is so hard to think of decent ideas and I don't have any experience. I've got three great friends who are in the same situation (well, sort of. They've all got at least some amount of experience writing stories) and we're able to relate to each other and give advice (even though I suck at giving advice - I'm sorry, Fang!). My ideas are generally thought to be good, but it's hard to work around all of the clichés. Also I'm just hoping I won't screw it up by fucking up on the storytelling aspect. We'll just have to see.

I might post parts of the story as it comes along, but I haven't even started writing yet and I think once I do it will be quite sporadic. I also don't want to rush myself with anything. I'll think about it.

Cheers!
