I called my mom the other day crying- not because I was homesick but because I do not want to leave Australia!! I am working on convincing my family to move here so I never have to leave. Being here has really changed me as a person for the better. Some things are little- like the fact that I love dancing now and don’t care if I make a fool of myself- and some big- such as how I am financially becoming more and more independent which takes pressure off of my parents!
A band I am obsessed with, Fleetwood Mac, came to town for three nights and I worked a BUNCH so that I could buy a ticket.. Well two nights before I realized it was time to use my savings and I ended up getting twelfth row and it was absolutely amazing. I also got set lists that said the songs that were played.
For Halloween, I went to my new favorite place: a venue that plays 90s music all night. I went and (soberly) danced the night away with my Australian friend, Lisa, and my good friend Tiffany. Tiffany and I had made our own baseball jerseys for our favorite teams and they turned out pretty great.
In a few days one of my best friends, Grace, who studied abroad in New Zealand from Rollins comes to visit me 🙂 I am SO excited!
