I have, since my last post, experienced the shortest summer of my life, worked pretty much during all of it, and moved back to school.
Things haven't changed much since I got home. I love being home. It wasn't that difficult for me to adjust to being stateside again. I didn't have much culture shock at all, aside from the fact that I was shocked at how cheap cereal is here. (Australia- $8 for Fruit Loops. USA- $3). Ohhh yeah.
Things I really miss about Australia:
-The beach. I love the ocean so much. It's a peaceful and intensely fascinating thing to me. My life kind of revolves around it. I don't like being surrounded by so much land. Plus, I just like the way it smells.
-Tim Tams. Ahhh someone said they found them at Target. I keep forgetting to look. I will find Tim Tams!!! I hope they have caramel. Yum.
-Surfing. I want to surf again so badly.
-Of course, the friends I made there. I honestly don't know how these friendships would have played out if it wasn't for Facebook. Most of the time I curse Facebook because it consumes so much of my time. I wish I wasn't dependent on it because it really doesn't need as much usage as it gets. Ridiculous. But, it comes in handy when you miss friends that are 9,000 miles away from you.
Anyways. Since I've been home, I've turned 21. Worked in a doctor's office doing filing. And moved back to Ames for my senior year of college. I can't believe it's happening. I will admit I'm a bit terrified because I don't have a plan for after school yet. I've always had a plan up until this point and now that it's reached it's end, I'm beyond clueless as to what I'm going to do. I want to do one more internship, but then what. A job? I don't feel qualified! Scary thoughts. But I know things will work out how they're supposed to. Just gotta trust fate, eh?
Anyways, it's late, and I should try to sleep. Who knows if I'll update again? I'll try, I think.
Love love.
