While university is turning out to be infinitely harder than it was last year, I'm finally feeling a little more relaxed about my life and where I'm heading. Sure, I've got three million chapters to read for tomorrow and my Politics tutor is literally from hell, but I finally feel like this is becoming home. So I've made it through the shell shock and, in the immortal words of Liz Lemon, "I didn't die!"

Oz has been treating me awesomely, the people here are great and my family has been amazing support. Is it weird that I haven't seen my cousins at all for most of my life and yet I feel like I know them better than some of my friends? It's a strange thing, but it helps a lot too.

Anyway, my life is getting scarily organised. I have an awesome routine for varsity, (I wrote an Ode to Public Transport, I'll post it one day.) Church is amazing, lots of great people and great hearts wanting to serve God. I'm getting involved, in the near future, with productions that will be awesome and I might actually join the South Australian Light Opera Society. Glee!

Also, my cousin and I have just started a fitness routine recommended by the Australian Defense Force. It's tough, but so great. It's a get fit in 4 weeks programme. Amazing results... I also finally got my boxes from SA! It's so good to have my stuff around me. :) My books especially. Oh yes, Ali, I found that fic that you and I wrote in Form 2, "Vendetta"... It's hysterical. We should finish it by e-mail even though it has no point and is completely devoid of actual X-Files characterisations... :P

On the other hand, I'm really missing my family and friends... I spoke to Avril on the phone and cried for about an hour afterward... :( Also, some friends and I went to the beach on Saturday night to listen to the waves and watch the stars and I missed Et so much I thought I might die... It's amazing, I felt quite confused before I left and now that I can't see him until next year, my heart is aching for him. :(

Anyway, I'll be ok. Just got to keep holding on and enjoy feeling more and more at home. Also, I'm taking joy in little things, like this awesome X-Files icon. Sigh, how I do miss Scully.

Missing you all!

Today was my last Sunday in South Africa. I can barely believe that the week is finally here... I cried a lot today, poor Avril thought I might flood the house. I saw friends today for the last time and it was just too much.

My farewell was great, I was sad that some guys couldn't be there, but it was great that those who made it, made it. The food was divine and the company even better. :)

Anyway, wrote another poem today. I write best when I'm emotional. :P I like it, but it needs tweaking... I'll post it soon. :)

That is all.
