Today was weird. You know when you just feel restless sometimes, when there's too much on the brain?? I'm not sure how I can feel overwhelmed here, but I just did this morning. I had ambitiously planned to finish my photography project nice and early today. Plan failed. Luckily, I was able to skype with the fam and watch some baseball with them :) That helped. I tried to nap in the sun, but I couldn't even clear my mind that way (that is not normal). I think it was a mixture of: "I'm a bit sick of being here" and "It's sunny and I can't go to the beach." hahaha...
anywho...later on I headed to the plaza to at least accomplish something for my project, and I got to thinking (which can be dangerous). First thoughts: I miss my car, I'm sick of pointless classes, and I miss Michigan (wah wah wah) :)
THEN the bus got to the hill that overlooks the ocean and the whole Sunny coast, and I remembered how much i loveeee bus rides to the beach/plaza. There so pretty! Mucho time to just chill and listen to my iPod. The town of Buderim that the bus passes through is so cute and hilly and tropical ( i should record it).
At this point, I decided that I have 38 days left to be a temporary local on the Sunny Coast, and they're not 38 days that should be spent being home sick. Nope nope nope. Just 38 days to chill, get to know God better, and enjoy! Once in a lifetime opportunity right here--gots ta live it up (which I believe I have). Home will come soon enough, and then I'll be wishing that Noosa was an hour bus ride away again :) Lesson learned. I think I've gotten so used to being here that.......I've gotten too used to being here! That makes sense in my mind, but maybe not yours :)
In other news: It was 5 dollar pizza night/ walk to Wooly's to grocery shop night. ( I wish I would have never tried these darn dark chocolate minty Tim-Tams. I keep breaking my: "one tim-tam a day" rule. It cant be helped, they're just too addicting. I think I'll just go with it. )
oh and btw! Photo project #1 = finished! Just one more to go! Politics lecture tomorrow, and maybe some volleyball----thats always a good thing. Tomorrow is also the State of Origin... a huge rivalry Rugby match between Queensland and New South Wales ( i think)---maybe I'll turn it on to help me go to sleep--because that's what rugby does. Puts one to sleep.
Speaking of sleep...time to catch some Zzz's
P.S. thanks a lot for stealing my sun northern hemisphere! Glad its finally feeling warmer back in da states!
