A letter from Apr 25, 2024

Dear FutureMe, Although I have been sending lots of future messages, I've decided to send one that's a bit more personal. As of today, my first University application is sitting ready to be submitted to ANUl, with my current catchphrase as "Doing a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Ancient History," the less serious catchphrase being "No turn left unstoned." I'm very nervous as I've been putting lots of research into this uni and would like to get into it. As for other universities, I've got 6 unis lined up to apply for. ANU, Sydney Uni, Macquarie, UOW, UNE & UNSW. It's kinda frustrating but fun to think and plan the future, and graduation is a mere 154 days, the 26th of September, which is Graduation. Although, there are 125 school days (incl. weekends) and less than a hundred real school days left. And, of course, the Val. Dinner and Formal dinner to plan and look forward to. ********. As of right now I'm seventeen. And, if I've calculated this email correctly, you should be receiving this when you 19 and within your second year of uni. Or perhaps first year, if I've done a gap year. Or maybe something else happened, like I got hit by a bus and I'm somewhere else right now. School is semi-hard right now. I've done my half yearlys and will have trials next term. I'm not sure yet, but i would like to wager myself $20 to bet that the HSCs will be harder than uni. I'm 78% sure I'm going to loose that bet with myself. Either way, I want to say congrats to wherever you are right now. Who knows the new friends I may or may not have, place I may or may not be living in or what degree I'm working through. But I'm certain you've earned whatever you've achieved one hundred times over. Remember this quote from my current favourite movie, "It is quite often the things that no one imagines anything of, that do the things no one can imagine." - The Imitation Game 2014 I wish you all the best.
