Into the Dark

Well, I've been so excited to start this blog... Here goes...

This trip is a little like traveling to space. A black hole called College in the USA, where I have no expectations, nor any real thoughts of what's ahead. Thank god I have Ben Lee accompanying me - and his most wonderful album 'Awake is the New Sleep'. Yes, I am very excited, but quite nervous as well. We'll see how this year goes. This is the first time that I'll be separated from everything that holds me down in Melbourne. A big adventure, true, one that I have been dreaming of for years, yet.... the hesitation surprises me. Forgive the honesty, but this is what this blog is partly about.
I never thought I would miss Melbourne - the city, st kilda, the heebs on carlisle st on a friday afternoon, the smoggy summer, feeling unfashionable on Chapel St, feeling jappy on Brunswick St, feeling lovely on a Sunday afternoon when the sun is shining through the trees on to a lovely patch of grass in my backyard.

But now, reflecting... I can't wait to fly away into this dark :)
