Hey blog readers, I know it’s been
awhile since I’ve updated… life has been speeding by at a pace I find
challenging to keep up with. Some of my activities of the past few weeks have
included: working on a photography project (pictures below); exploring more of
Sydney; going to an Australian football game (nothing like American football!)
and finding a semi-warm day to go snorkeling (my first time!). Other days are
spent attending classes, writing papers, working on projects, spending time
with my host family and working at my service placement. The days are full but
I always am able to get plenty of sleep which is good. J The crazy thing is that I only
have about four and a half more weeks in Australia and then it’s on to New
Zealand before heading home. I’m looking forward to being reunited with family
and friends and soon meeting my new niece or nephew! As the time draws nearer
it’s time to begin processing my time here and everything I’ve learned while at
the same time preparing myself mentally and emotionally to leave. There are
some things I will not miss such as waiting for the bus every day or not being
able to communicate with my family when I want to. But there are other things
that I will miss terribly and I have felt my heart begin to connect on a deeper
level with people and places the last few weeks. No matter how I feel when I
leave: whether I absolutely cannot wait to board that plane and head home, or
whether I’m heartbroken as I say my goodbyes: I am grateful for my time here. I’m
going to sign off on that note but thank you to whoever takes the time to read
my posts and I hope to update again at some point!
