Welcome to my world: Moving out and being independant

I'm officially an adult!
In just seven days, SEVEN DAYS I will be living in my very own flat ladies and gentlemen (Well, studio flat...or apartment. Suit yourselves)

I signed the contract a few days ago, and I'l be moving out on the 23rd.

I got a call at the beginning of summer to schedule a job interview via Skype, my first thought was It'll be over and done with in no time and never hear from them again.
I usually fail at job interviews and get rejected.

But I got an email from them saying they'd love to have me working with them.
I was also deciding between other jobs at the time, analyzed everything and decided to go with this one.
It does mean having to move island, but I was also offered in Australia ( I know an amazing opportunity, but it requires a shit load of money) but it means if something goes wrong I'm only a 30 min flight away. (Australia is 22 hours+ away by plane).

THE JOB

I start in September,Monday- Friday,weekends off, Christmas holidays, Easter holidays. They're able to provide me with social security and a years working contract.

I'm going to be an English teacher!

Working with kids from the ages 0-6. I'm over the moon!

The only thing I am slightly worried about is that I am really shy, and kids can pick up on things like that really easily and take advantage.

I know it sounds really pathetic, English teacher overpowered by 6 year old but I'm not the kind of person that can jump into something and fit into the mold. In my last job I only managed to last a week, but they had me start mid school year.

The school itself is a bilingual school that wants to teach children starting from a young age that there is more than one language to be spoken.

SHY

Hopefully living on my own will make me ''man up'' and lose my shyness.I'll be in the middle of a city, I've never lived in a city before, so I'll be able to meet new people everyday.

What's the point of moving out or away if all you're going to do is go from home to work and that's it.

INDEPENDENT

I am excited yet terrified to be independent.

Reasons to be excited

I can eat anything I want at any time of the day, who says I can't have ice cream for lunch? No one, because I live alone.
When my dad comes to visit I can finally say ''You're under my roof now, my house my rules''.
It's a small place so it'll be easier to clean and hopefully encourage me to be tidier.
Decorate it how ever I please.
Have friends over, I have this weird anxiety about inviting people into our house in case my dad thinks my friends are total weirdo's.
Exploring new places,It's a city , I'l have something new to explore everyday.

Reasons to be terrified

Eating anything I want everyday will not end well, I have no self control and a bottomless pit for a stomach.
My dad won't be around that much and the rest of my family members live in the UK so I won't see any of them unless I travel for Christmas.
It's small and I'm messy.
My decorating skills might look awesome as fuck in my head but once they're done they'll probably look fucked up.
Making friends is not an easy thing for me, I'm awkward.Plus I could chose the wrong type of friends and wake up one morning on the floor with my bed and my belongings missing.
I have no sense of direction and get lost really easily.

Overall I don't know if I'm more excited than terrified or the other way around, but my work contract and lease are both a years duration, if things go well the year will be over in time, if they don't....I'm stuck with it.

MY NEW HOME

Omg I nearly forgot to show you the actual place. It's small, as I said before, but It's going to be just me and it does the job.

My dad took the photos in a hurry because we were just looking at the place and hadn't decided on it yet so he wasn't sure if photo taking was allowed.

Some of them are a little blurry.

But yo get the picture.

This is what you see as soon as you walk in the entrance. A table, chair and a sofa (the sofa is also my bed, It has two mattresses to make it into a double bed)
