Today has been absolutely full on.
As soon as breakfast was over we were back to brainstorming ideas for our pitch. The walls and windows are completely covered in sticky notes, thought maps and suggestions.
We discussed an reorganised, deleted then improved all our opinions and plans for our speech at parliament thursday and I am in awe at the intensity of our prosperity.
It has been such a long and exhausting day but I’m extremely happy with where we are at.
After many hours of deep brain storming we caught a bus to Canberra’s ABC radio. The staff were very kind in showing us around and elaborating on job opportunities and how the studios are operated. I was quite shocked to discover that everything in the studio now is computerised. There are no camera man anymore, the director does it all from a computer room above the studio and doesn’t need any staff to assist.
I disagree with the lack of humane help for a local television.
We were lucky enough to have a game of basketball at the AIS basketball court which is extremely large and obviously hold many important people whom play extremely important games.
Afterwards we had dinner and pitched our first ideas to the group. I almost cried and choked before sharing my story and ideas but the feeling afterwards was warm and secure. A feeling of relief if you must. We received feedback and worked on improvements which my group and I are excited to move forward with.
When everyone left my new friend, Rory, from Northern NSW, and I sat down a rediscussed our plans and timeline for speech queues for the presentation. We somehow began talking about our own selves and who we are, our regrets in life and where we are headed.
Right now I have this feeling of deep sadness. I’ll be in the city living my school life and he will be at University in the country doing his own thing. I will pursue all our hard work and he will be studying law.
I will never see these people again.
People I connected with more in 1 day than I have with any of my closest friends.
The passion and time spent with each other to then be forgotten in a matter of time.
Only these blog posts to keep the memory fresh.
I know I won’t forget them completely as our mission that we have created together will be carried on. You would be surprised at how hard it is to even think of this. I can’t say goodbye. I can’t even think about the last day. I’m so afraid.
no matter how much I try not to, I cling to things that I love and I cling to the idea of a perfect world with perfect people but even I know that’s not life.
When the last day comes around, I will be petrified of saying those 2 words. My eyes will pool and it will be so embarrassing to share with them why this is.
Discovery Ago viewers, This is the greatest week that has ever happened to me. I am so overwhelmed by all of this but I must reassure myself that this is just a stepping stone in my journey. I will branch off from this experience and find peace with my departure.
This is just the beginning of my impacts on this world.
