I spent the the 10th and 11th of Jan 2008 with my Uni girls at the Meriton Apartments in the city… they are so wonderful and I’m so very lucky to have them.

It’s just hit me now how much I’m really going to miss them once everything changes. With Manda going to Mac I won’t bump into her anymore at the JDV or on the bus or train to Uni… The other girls will still be there and I love them to bits. But I especially will miss Manda only because she was the first person I had connected with when I had gone to Uni.

 I remember we were on the line to get something for orientation day and Amanda’s mum had said something like…

“Now you have to make new friends”

and she was like

“Oh man! Why?”

and I went up to her, said something like,

” Don’t worry it’s not that hard…” and smash, bang, alacazam we were friends

 2007 was a whole new experience of Uni for me without them constantly by my side. In 2006 I pretty much relied on them all the time Amanda was especially good at the times and places of all our classes and Steph with all the study notes. Faith the wonderful entertainment in class… you make life less boring! and Eva… seriously no one listens as well as Eva does when we’re having a serious conversation about God… something I take for granted… but which she should know I appreciate.

And I realized although I am about a year older than them, I rely on them alot! During the first year of Uni I pretty much didn’t mind closing my eyes while they took my hand and led me while I quite obligingly and blindly followed… I’ve not had that experience with alot of friends and I think it is a rare thing, indeed to be able to do.

 This epiphany came to me after we had already split up and gone our seperate ways… I noticed that the entire time we were there I stuffed my glasses into my bag (my eye sight is pretty poor) and just followed them around, trusting that they knew what they’d be doing… i could see very little but hey, they’d never steered me wrong before!!!! but once we had split up and I had to wander around on my own I had to stop reach into my bag and put on my glasses…
