I realize I've been kind of bad keeping up with the past two months or so. Things haven't been that out of the ordinary and I'm always too lazy to write about it. What is crazy is that 2 weeks from right now i'll be on a plane heading back across the Pacific.
I've been asked to go on some trips lately and due to a lack of interest and money I've decided to pass them up. I've thought about it a lot and I don't think that I'll regret the decision. Also, it's gotten a LOT colder here, going below 50 at night. I have no heat in my house and I am frozen all the time. But Melbourne, one place I was asked to go, is further south (colder!) and I've heard a lot of iffy things from people who've gone there in comparison to Sydney. Of course there are new, fun things to do there, but is it worth a couple hundred dollars to see a very similiar place? The other place I was asked to go was the Whitsunday Islands, which are apparently some of the most beautiful islands in the world. It's basically a sailing trip. And while I would love to do it, I feel like I'd want to go with certain people, when it was much warmer, and not when I would be borrowing money from the world. Hopefully I will make it back here when I am disgustingly rich and do everything I have missed. I really wanted to go to the outback, too, but that's over $1000. Traveling here is ridiculously expensive! So in the end, I'm planning on spending my last two Australian weeks in Sydney, going around and exploring different places I have yet to see over my last couple of days.
Good news: I got a much needed scholarship so I will not be dirt poor when I get home while also being able to put a substantial amount of money towards my (too many) credit cards. Then maybe I'll cut some up.
More good news: camp starts in about three weeks! I can't wait!
Even more good news: I will soon be eating all of the foods I've missed. Sometimes, I feel like I miss food more than anything else. That's kind of sad.
Sad news: this all means I'll be leaving this amazing place and people. Hopefully I will be able to meet up with some over the next school year and really keep in touch.
More sad news: I have two big papers to write and my ADD is not letting me start. And I'm sick. I doubt this will stop me from going out though.
Even more sad news: I have nothing else to say. So, to everyone from home reading this, see you all in two weeks!
