Are you looking forward to starting classes again tomorrow?
Mmm… yeah, I guess so… it’ll be good to keep working towards this goal… And this year, I know where to go. I know how to drive there, where to park my car… I know where I could go for lunch — like, my usual spots… I know what to expect of the traffic at different times of the day as well… I know what time I have to leave the house to get there on time… stuff like that…
(Nodding) Will there be many classmates from last year?
I don’t think so… maybe about a third of the OG’s?
Only a third?! What’s everyone else doing?
Well… some people can already find jobs for themselves with last year’s certificate…
Really? How about you? Would you want to find a job with that certificate?
(Shaking head) Not yet… I don’t think I need to do that yet… My brother keeps telling me I need “work experience” but — I’m just not feeling it intuitively. I think I’ll be okay juggling my regular job so far…
What kind of jobs did the other classmates find?
Well — I don’t even really know for sure. These were just random student café conversations, when we’d all have a morning tea or lunch break together. I don’t have anyone as a Facebook or Instagram friend except for one girl. So when I’m referring to classmates — they’re mostly guys — guys that just talked briefly with “us girls” from time to time at the café — I think they were mostly interested to talk to the other girl. I’m just the Old Lady chaperone…
Ohhh… I see… (Chuckles)
What?! Were you worried?!?!?!?!
(Giggles) A little… I still am… a little bit…
I’m the OLD LADY in class! There’s nothing to worry about…
(Sigh) I know how guys think… you’re not the old lady, you’re the SEXY OLD LADY…
(Laughing)… You’re still calling me an old lady but just adding the word “sexy” in front…
(LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL)
Anyway — what was your question?!
What are they doing now? If they’re not in your class with you tomorrow?
Oh… well… some of the guys did talk about… joining the military?
Oh?
Yeah… but who knows… I have no idea if they really did it… and I don’t have them on Facebook or Instagram or LinkedIn or anything. It was just talk…
Is it a big commitment? For Aussie guys, do you think?
(Shrugs shoulders)… I guess they get paid a pretty good salary?
Good salary…?
(Shrugs shoulders)… I really don’t want to use my blog to go into this in too much details — also because, I genuinely don’t know much about it… but from colloquial conversations — it would SEEM — that they get paid a fairly attractive salary… hence, those boys decided to serve their country…
(Nodding)… (Contemplating something)… Do they have girlfriends?
Some of them, yes…….
Do their girlfriends have to miss them when they go in?
(Shrugs shoulders) Probably…? I have no idea…?! But — I would assume so?
There’s a lot that those guys can’t talk about once they’re in the military…
OF COURSE… How could they say ANYTHING?!?!?!?!?!!
You’re not friends with any of them?
(Shaking head) Not really, no… not close friends at all…
Then how do you know?!
Well — Aussies just TALK — it’s just general Aussie KNOWLEDGE…?!
Talk from the Aussie women?
(Nodding) Yeah… over the years… that’s just my very general understanding… I could be wrong about all of it, who knows?! (Shrugs shoulders)…
This is a fictional blog…
(LOL) Yes… DEFINITELY!!!
