Today was my last exam. It was a surprisingly good exam, I think I may have actually passed which means I passed the unit which means no overloading for me next year! I hope. It's weird, after the exam I was happy of course, because no more studying. But I also felt empty, like something was missing. Perhaps even a tinge of guilt! I don't know, but it's still there and it's a bit unsettling.
Anyway, after the exam I went to hang out with a friend in a suburb I kind of don't like. I am allowed to say that because I practically used to live there. I never really minded the area, I always knew it wasn't as good a standard as it should be for being Melbourne's second biggest city, but I never really minded it. I ignored all the bad and only focused on the good. Until today. Now, I'm not really a judgemental sort of person, and I'm the kind that always gives the benefit of the doubt and stuff like that. But I am about to say a lot of judgemental things right now and get it all out of me.
I really am starting to not be able to stand Dandenong. I am in LOVE with the Dandenongs, but Dandenong itself as a city is just ridiculous. It's just the people that live there. I'm not saying everyone is like that, of course not! But say if you were a tourist visiting Dandenong, it is these people that will give the tourist this impression of Dandenong, simply because they are so abundant. It is these kinds of people that seem to be out and about more than the decent ones. And by "these" people, I mean druggies, alcoholics, rude, arrogant, unemployed, doll bludging people. If you are a decent girl, fully clothed head to toe, you will get stares. You will get whistles. You feel like a piece of meat. Not only that, the amount of intoxicated people roaming the streets, it just makes you fed up with the area. Being surrounded by people with such low values, it doesn't make you feel awesome that's for sure.
All these things have been hovering in my head for a while now, but the thing that triggered me to write about it is this: Sonia and I were just happily walking down the street when we pass this little kid, I swear, not any older than 13, smoking with what looked like a friend perhaps 3 years older. Sonia, being the loud mouthed girl she is said "You're smoking?" to the kid. But she intended it just to be a mutter under her breath, rather than actually saying it loud. Anyway, the kid heard it and starting walking fast behind us and blows smoke in our face. Also the kid was fat. He then yells "IT'S NONE OF YOUR F***ING BUSINESS, YOU GOT A F***KING PROBLEM LADY?". I was beyond shocked. Well not really, it IS Dandenong. This 13 year old kid fully swearing at the 20 year old girl simply because she said something that was true. I told Sonia to just ignore him and keep walking, so we just starting talking about something else of which I can't remember right now, but it was funny and we laughed. And then of course the kid comes running behind us going "OH SO NOW IT'S FUNNY HUH?, WHAT'S SO FUNNY??". Sonia tells him that we weren't even talking about him and that he should calm down. He really didn't seem to like this so he kept on swearing. Anyway, we eventually lost the kid. But seriously? What is with people?
I know people like this exist everywhere, but they just seem to come up for frequently in Dandenong. I guess it bums me out because Dandenong was like a second home to me growing up, I would go there every week for one reason or another. Alright that marks the end of my judgemental woes.
So, I'm supposed to be going to a party tonight, but I am just really lazy and sleepy so I kind of bailed. I hope they don't get mad at me hehe. I really rather just sit here, maybe watch Bandslam that I recorded a few days ago, do some drawing with my new watercolour pencils (SO PUMPED TO USE THEM), record that stupid tutorial on youtube that everyone is asking. I don't want to, but hey, gotta give the people what they want. I also want to record another song on piano and put it up, clean my oh so neglected room and paint my nails. Paint them blue I reckon. I doubt all of this is going to happen tonight, I guess it was more of a list of things I want to do before I leave on Tuesday. Oh that reminds me, I need to start packing haha.
Aight, better get started on my night of fun fun fun!
