VISA, Drugs, Funky Relationships and Unborn Babies
I should probably be posting tomorrow…I have an apt at 1030 tomorrow, and its already midnite, but i just wanted to get some stuff down…not that anybody is reading this yet.
Well, Christmas is over, so now I’m pretty much just looking towards the big trip. NOW I’m starting to get excited. Today I applied for my student VISA and got it. I was freakin out that I hadn’t applied for my VISA until now, I didnt know if I would get it in time. People were saying, “Oh, you’ve applied though, right?” and sayin things like “expedite” and such, so I was nervous. But I literally applied for my VISA and it was approved about two hours later. Pretty amazing. Mom’s been looking at plane tix, and she’s also been trying to get some advances on my prescriptions. You wouldn’t believe how difficult it is to get 5 months of meds all at one…well, maybe you would. As I was writing that, it just kinda dawned on me how long I’m gonna be gone…whoaaaaaaaa. Babies will be born and be half a year old by the time I get back. weird.
Christmas was wonderful as usual, and SunRiver was incredible. There is literally almost nothing better than Sunriver with family. And Chas n Janet were there, so it was especially awesome. For xmas, among a few other things, I got a sweet REI luggage roller bag thingy for Australia, so I can travel in style, and a Sydney travel book, both from my parents. Gina got me a ticket to the Sydney Zoo! That blew me away. She gives the best freakin gifts ever, so much thought into everything! She is an amazing person, no doubt. (I know all you folks in CORV are laughin at me now, haha). We did a white elephant thing for our family party, and mine was a gift from AUS to be brought back. Eric (I refuse to add the ‘K’) got it, which I was stoked about, cause it will be easy to find somethin cool for him, we have similar taste. Oh, I also got some sweet boardshorts for the beach there, so I look TOTALLY DOPE BRAH. Here they are…
I’ve also been liftin weights, doin crunches and pushups to try to get the ole body toned for da beaches.
It’s starting to hit home that its real now that my bros in CORV started the term last Monday. Super weird. I’m just kinda sittin here and waitin it out. Also, with relationships, its very weird. As I make friends and deepen relationships, I have a weird caveat now; that I’ll be gone for close to 6 months with little to no communication. It just artificially limits things weirdly…kinda have to load up on 6 months of hangin out in a period of a month.
OH, also, I’M GONNA MISS THE BIRTH OF ALISHA AND ERIC’S BABY….I’m so frustrated about it. I tried to convince Alisha of the incredible pre-natal care Australian hospitals are known for, but there was no havin it…
Aight, I need to pce out. Things will get pretty exciting on here in about a month, I promise…right now its all prep…
