Then unexpectedly, something unusual occurred. The screen began to glow, a bright white shine that filled the monitor screen. I stood up from the chair, perplexed by this strange happening. The light then broke from the barriers of the monitor, engulfing the entire room. Then suddenly, I was completely surrounded by white, my body within a void of nothingness. I felt slightly off, gravity seemed to be confused, for I felt myself falling towards my feet (as they should) and behind myself, as if I was on my back. It was odd indeed, for I was standing at the time, but simultaneously feeling as though I was lying down. My head began to throb severely, causing me to gasp in pain slightly. I however remained still. Abruptly, another bright light shone into my face, causing me to close my eyes for a split second. As I squinted to adjust my eyes to the intense light, I realised that I was no lon

In about a weeks time, I'll be embarking my trip around the world. Well, parts of it. The whole trip has been in planning for the year, and the time has finally come, where things are starting to end and the prospect of a brighter future is upon the horizon. Year 12 is almost finished. Only 2 days (half-days actually) left, before I saw goodbye forever to my peers who've been by my side for 5 years. To my wonderful teachers, I give a heartfelt farewell. To the other teachers, I give only silence. To my friends, I give them goodbyes as well, but with the comfort in knowing that with the right kind of effort, I'll be able to keep in contact with them for years to come. The idea of possibly losing touch with my friends, who I've shared such a close bond with over the past few years is somewhat daunting, and I know that I will do everything in my power to keep in contact with them.

The sounds of “O Mio Babbino Caro” rang distinctly from the loudspeakers, scatted throughout the building. The once silently working facility was bustling with people wandering and leaving the premises. The music indicated one thing, the day was done. As I got up from my desk and made my way to my bag, looking around the room to see crowding people hoping to leave the area as soon as possible. Some were busily chatting away with friends, while others were frantically grabbing at their bags. I spoke to no one, but merely looked on towards the mass of people silently as I made my way calmly out of the room. Grabbing my things and casually walking down the stairs, a few people pushed past me carelessly. As I walked out from the building and into the daylight, the sun shone intensely upon my eyes, causing me to slightly squint at first glance. Over the course of a few seconds, my eyes ad
