Something awesome

How awesome is this?!

I can't remember where I found this.. but I'm going to guess it was

weheartit

(Sorry if it's not)

I really wish I had thought of this when I moved into an unfurnished apartment overseas.

It's time to try something new

Its time for some changes and for new things!

Here's to new challenges and adventures and to embracing the change! I always thought I did, but turns out I actually didn't like change that much.

Argh one more week until I finish my exams!! woop.

Then I will have completed my degree and a whole new chapter will begin!

I'm also excited because in the holidays I'm doing a diving course with a friend, we'll call her Miss C. And then I will be starting a sewing course with Work Friend!!

I can't sew for my life, and it's winter here, so we will be doing the dive course whilst feezing our ass off!

don't let them see you cry

My favourite.. time of day

I have noticed that for some reason my favourite time of day is twilight.. and it has nothing to do with the book series.

Those moments when the earth is neither completely lit or compeltely covered in darkness.

The colours in the sky are spread about and mixed up, like they have no idea what's going on either.

For some reason it makes me happy and sad at the same time.. crazy huh!

Happy becuase I'm more of a night person than a morning one, and I see it as getting ready for a new day, a fresh start. But also a little sad.. there is something settling about it, something that says today is over, it is the end of something, and those beautiful coulours in the sky aren't going to last forever.

Because like those beautiful colours in the sky that don't last, things change, and we often forget to see the beauty. I see it as a reminder to stop for a second and to remember to live in that moment. To take in the beauty that is life and those feelings and to reflect.

So here's to those moments. Even if the happy is mixed with a little bit of the sad. To those refelctions and that beauty in the sky and life itself.

This was a completely rambling random post.

Lets get lost

Because when your lost, when you're out of your comfort zone,

who knows what you may find,

you might just find that something amazing.

Why hello

Isn't time a funny thing?

I always find that it works in the opposite direction that you want it to.

When you've had your heart broken, hours seems to tick slowly by, days feel like weeks.

When your looking forward to something, it feels like it couldn't come soon enough, it seems to take forever to arrive.

And when it does, it flashes before your eyes (why hello student exchange?! how is it that this time last year, I hadn't met you yet and your now over?)

In the blink of an eye, something may change (why hello dent in my car).

And when you don't want something to happen, before you can do anything, its smacked you in the face.

Why hello exams.

I'm excited that your my last in my undergraduate degree... but I still don't want to sit you. Will you please write yourselves. Yep? ok thanks.

Um. well. ok. then.

Woah. well. um. ok then.... woah!!


I was happy to see the end of May. With the last few weeks of craziness, it all started to add up. I was definately looking forward to the beginning of June. Things would be better I just knew it. Exciting things would happen. I was in a good mindset.


The first week of June began.

I put a small dent in my car.

Then my car was towed costing me $150 ... ouch! ok ok I admit I was in the wrong but still $150! grrr have never liked the towing industry.

And then... the honours program for my course apparently experienced a surge in enrollments, the course was capped and closed!! A month and a half in advance... and I hadn't enrolled.

This summed me up pretty well:


I hadn't completely decided this was what I wanted to do but I think in the back of my mind I knew this is what I would do despite never really admitting it to anyone.

I suddenly realised this was my last semester!! I wouldn't be coming back! At least not for the next semester... how had I not appreciated this more?! What on earth was I going to do now?! I wasn't ready for the big scary world! Did I actually want to do the honours year?!? especially if it meant another full year at university... my mind went into a spin. This was scary! I always had a secret back up plan of what I would be doing and suddenly I didn't, it was WIDE open.


and then WOAH. It was WIDE open!!!! I could do what ever I wanted! I could take the time to really consider if I wanted to do the honours program. I could come back motivated and focused, if that's what I decided, especially after a semester of very little motivation.

It was a rather, freeing feeling.

It was scary yet completely exciting... my future was wide open.

It was as though the decision was made for me. It was taken out of my hands. .. it was as though it happened for a reason.. and I love that. I truly believe everything happens for a reason. So I'm looking to the positive and am excited to see what happens.

Everything happens for a reason... sometimes its just harder to see the reason... but its always there ... sometimes it hurts and you don't understand why... but at some point it will all be clear.

Now to get through exams....how did I forget about those little things..
