Despite receiving some positive life changing news this afternoon, Ally Walsh has confirmed that she is fully prepared to have the wind taken out of her sails.

The 19-year-old recent graduate from Betoota Ponds High told The Advocate today that she was over the moon about officially being accepted into a tertiary education course this morning.

“Yeah, it’s fantastic news. I’m stoked to get into a course,” Walsh said.

“And to be able to get out of town for a little while you know.”

“But I’m not getting too ahead of myself just yet, because I’m working a 10 hour shift tomorrow down at one of the pubs and am going to see the very worst side of humanity.”

Walsh explained that she was heading back down south to the most overpriced city in the country to study at UTS, after completing a diploma at UTS Insearch in the harbour city.

“Yeah tomorrow is going to be a fantastic way to celebrate my acceptance,” Walsh said.

“Sweeping up broken glass after broken glass down, trying to smoosh vomit down the urinal outlet, and dealing with disgusting drunken messes behind the bar down at the Ori(ental).”

“Sydney’s obviously a shithole, I think we all know that, so I’m not that excited about going back down there, but you gotta do what you gotta do.”

“I’ve been back home for a couple of months, and I have had just about enough of mum questioning whether I ‘really need’ to go out, or drink that much, or do just about anything she doesn’t approve of because she is struggling to come to terms with the fact I’m an adult now.”

Walsh explained that she will just be thinking of O-Week all through tomorrow’s horror shift and her remaining time left at home.
