Today, I booked my flight home!
And then I got hit by the nostalgia train.
Walking back to my room, I was ecstatic at the thought of going home. When I thought about what I was coming home to, I became excited. Yet the more I thought about it, the more I realized what I was leaving behind as well. I only have a month and a half here left until my study abroad experience - the experience I've wanted ever since I was a freshman in high school - is over. I do believe the five months I spent studying here was the perfect amount of time, but that doesn't take away from the feeling that it flew by quickly.
Of course, this got me thinking about how I'll be a senior in college this year. Three years have gone by already, and I only have a year left until my college experience is over as well. How. insane. And naturally, I had a small college-life crisis.
Am I ready to leave Australia? Not yet. But I think that by the time I leave here I will be. Until then, I have to make the most of the time I have left here (which reminds me, I'm going to the Great Barrier Reef tomorrow!). The same goes for college; no way am I ready to be a senior, but I am excited because God's timing is the best, and He'll prepare me for what ever comes next; I just need to make the most of this year.
Man it's crazy how you're blog says pretty much all the stuff I've been thinking about while I'm here. yoyo: You're only young once, and Carpe Diem! See you in NZ!
