Not Coping

How did you come across your old friend? Did you see them in the street or something, @Captain24?

I am getting by just looking at a good deal for some towels and stuff to buy. I also need to shower and do a bit more of my room.

You know when you’re listening to music and it reminds you of a time and place? @Birdofparadise8 Well that’s what happened. It reminded me of a trip I took to Spain. She was the team leader and she was great. So I thought I’d randomly msg her on Facebook.

She lives in the next town over so when her and her husband come over next we are going to catch up!

I love linen shopping! And homewares! I hate clothes shopping though. Are you living on campus? Getting stuff to move is so much fun. It’s all yours and it’s new! You are going to have so much fun. I’m so excited for you

Im glad you have things to keep you busy.

Yes, very much so it can bring back happy and sad memories.

Lovely I hope you enjoy reconnecting with her @Captain24

Yes, I will be, and it costs $310 a week + food and everything else I need to pay for when I am only working a couple of shifts a week. I am looking into getting Centrelink, and hopefully, my parents may help me a little.

Through this MH mess, I’ve reconnected with my faith. That’s where the connection is. My Spain trip was for world youth day.

Is there any scholarships you can apply for to help with costs? @Birdofparadise8.

I think you should be entitled to Centrelink but since I’m in NSW it could be different.

Im sure your parents will help with what they can when they can.They sound pretty supportive.

I have looked, but there isn't much to apply for.

I hope so, yes they are mum bought me a backpack and hair dryer. She said she will also buy the towels and stuff like that so that is really nice @Captain24.

That’s great @Birdofparadise8. Keep working as much as you can until you go. My cousin works through the Christmas break and pays for her accommodation for at least 2 semesters plus textbooks. Then the money she gets working part time during the semester pays for food and other things.

Also apply for every scholarship you can. If it pays for one semester accommodation it’s a bonus.

But do you know what? You’ve got this!!!

Yeah, I am trying to work as much as possible @Captain24

I will try and see if there is anything. Thank you I hope so hahaha.
