I havent written in a while so i suppose i am about due for an update.
The week before Thanksgiving break was interesting. There were some ups and downs, but most notable is my amazing birthday party. My wonderful friends, whom i cannot thank enough, threw me the best party ever. I walked in and there were literally hundreds of balloons all over the floor. I was greeted (unfortunately the door was opened so i walked in and ruined the surprise) with silly string, confetti and a room full of some of my favorite people. There were streamers and signs and cupcakes and cake and absolutely everything. including pin the tail on the donkey...at which i failed miserabley. We played colors, and watched a movie and it was just so perfect. Except for a certain somebody insisting that people leave to fill out 30 minute surveys and seemed upset that they wouldnt leave right away. I really try to like people, but some things are just obnoxious. Other than that it was wonderful. I couldnt have planned a better night myself.
Thanksgiving week was also amazing. It started with my birthday which i got to spend the first half shopping with my dad, purchasing a beautiful new video camera, and then the second half with john. He is so wonderful to me. He gave me balloons and inside each had a reason why he loves me, a budget traveller's guide for Australia, a dijiri doo, the Fraggles season 1, flute etudes (which i have already began practicing...its so nice to play again), and a sponge bob pinata to beat up later that night with all my boys at home.
The whole week home was nice besides work. Thanksgiving was delicious and i had a nice time with my family and then lots of fun playing games with john's. I got to see everyone including Mr Potter and catch up with all my friends at home. I really did miss them and I cant wait for winter break. Except the end marks sadness.
Things are starting to get weird with february approaching so fast. People are getting anxious and more short tempered. I feel like im getting in more arguments with everyone, especially those closest to me. I know it cant be helped, but its just upsetting. but like danshults says, by the time its really time to go people will just focus on havign a good time and all will be well.
Besides that, the return back to school was fun. We all had a long night of just hanging out and talking in complex...with mr nice, the amazing thrusting, diaper wearing nub. it was very enjoyable just having casual conversation with such great people. I'm going to miss everyone so much. And when i come back nothign will be the same, people will be gone, i will have missed so much. its kind of depressing at times, but i know i wont regret goign to Australia, it will be a great opportunity and loads of fun. But right now theres a bit of sadness along with all the excitment.
