Ok, I'm going to do a security course. I'm going to get my license, find myself a decent job, and actually get somewhere...I'm guessing, since the normal course fee for Australian students is around $600, that this is a good outcome, like I said before, originally quoted for around $2000. I don't honestly believe I can get it any cheaper than what it is now...
This though, puts major stress on what my current schedule is like. Well, it actually gives me more to do, which is alright I guess; the five day weekend was getting a little much...even with study and free time scheduled in...
So, lunch, then bus to the TAFE...sweet...

Who Is The Black Chinaman?

- Saving someone's life is like falling in love. The best drug in the world. For days, sometimes weeks afterwards, you walk the streets, making infinite whatever you see. Once, for a few weeks, I couldn't feel the earth - everything I touched became lighter. Horns played in my shoes. Flowers fell from my pockets. You wonder if you've become immortal, as if you've saved your own life as well. God has passed through you. Why deny it, that for a moment there - why deny that for a moment there, God was you? I realised that my training was useful in less than ten percent of the calls, and saving lives was rarer than that. After a while, I grew to understand that my role was less about saving lives than about bearing witness. I was a grief mop. It was enough that I simply turned up. Living and working back in Brunei, after a 14 year absence... Also known as: Brunei, NASA, Bruise-Eye, Bru, Cheesecake, Nick, BruNick, BruMedNick, Two Step etc etc etc
