15 Days Later..

Alright I officially suck at keeping up with this blog when nothing is happening. I realize other people can keep writing, maybe about just random thoughts and feelings but if I had more things of value to share with you all, I would. 

A couple of things have happened in that time though, manly, I booked my flight to leave Melbourne for June 9th to meet up Makenna. It is official. This week I will be giving my two weeks notice to my gymnastics job and Electric already knows when my last weekend is. Makenna and I have also settled on renting a campervan to do all of our traveling through a company called Hippie Campervans. Fitting. They are actually super cool and literally come with everything you could think to need, primarily a bed, fridge, stove and cooking equipment as well as linens. We are both so excited to meet up and I think we are both a bit lonely and miss having one another so this will be an awesome way to end our time in Australia. Also, since my last post I have gotten a little head cold that has become quite annoying more then anything.. I went and bought some medicine the other day but its still lingering. 

The only other thing that is half interesting from my everyday mundane tasks of livings, is that I have continued to hang out with Matt. Last night we went and saw the new Star Trek in the city center which was the first time I had been into the city in probably a month and a half - if not longer.. It was quite a good movie and I am glad I got to go since we had a really good time hanging out again. 

It is continually getting colder and colder here in Melbourne and I now have realized I am perpetually cold unless I am A: in bed, or B: in the shower and occasionally C: at work. Every other time of day or night i am frozen. So I really cannot wait to get to Cairns, get a tan, and put on some shorts or maybe just to not have to wear two pairs of socks all the time. 

Honestly, that is everything I can think of that is worth updating you all on. Once I am on the road with Makenna I will have many more entertaining things to share so stay tuned for that around June 9th!

Crap, it's May

Happy May! I realized that I haven't posted since the month changed and I figure that's not good. I can't believe it is already May. I have been here almost three months already and it does not feel like it. I can see why Makenna extended her stay. Three months is not enough time. However, as I work on figuring out the logistics of coming home early and moving to Philly I am realizing my time here is going to be cut short. Part of me is kinda sad about it but the other part is pretty excited.

Since my last post really not much has changed. working all the time and still barely getting by. BUT I did go on a date the other night with a guy named Matt and we had a really good time. Hopefully I get to see him again. I took him to the cool bar I told you all about when I first got here called The Local Taphouse. There was a live jazz band and again, delicious beer. That is probably the most exciting and different thing that has happened.

I suppose in other news, Makenna and I have semi formed a plan to travel together for most of the month of June. I am going to go meet her in Cairns, and then we are going to travel down the coast, do our adventures, and eventually I will end up back in Melbourne to fly home. I am feeling a bit of a contradiction with myself though, because I feel bad that I will be leaving my gymnasts a week before the term ends... I have never been a flaky employee, and genuinely feel bad that I can't stay the whole year for them. I just have to remind myself that I am here for me and that I was hired as a 'casual employee' which essentially means there is no time commitment. Every day I coach is its own contract and I have the right to leave at any time... It still doesn't make me feel good about it. Speaking of, I must go now and get ready for coaching. Time to start another week.
