5 Minutes

I'm setting the clock for five minutes and writing down everything that I want to remember about this year, in case I forget tomorrow. It's part of my reverb10 challenge (which I'm very behind in by the way).

That feeling of excitement, nervousness and pure joy I felt when I arrived in Manly at the beginning of my first term at university. My first "uni job" in a chocolate bar. My first pay check. The ferry from Manly to Sydney to watch West Side Story in Darling Harbour. My first dorm room in the castle. My second dorm room and it's view. Running along Manly beach. Shelley beach.
