NOT bored and NOT procrastinating.

A friend recently told me he noticed that I was blogging more frequently. He said that I must either be bored or procrastinating. What an annoying assumption! I don't have to be bored or procrastinating to want to share my Australian life with the internet!!!

But actually yea, haha that's exactly what it is.

Let's compare my Google calendars from March & April to May:

March!

April!

May...

Please ignore the writing in the blue. No, I did not religiously attend the Turf Club and the Perseverance 90's Night every Monday and Friday night. My actual schedule is written in in red. The blue is just MUSEX's (Melbourne Uni Students on Exchange. Their motto is "go hard before you go home") way of reminding me of just how anti-social I am :(

There were only 3 places I wanted to travel to before I got to Australia: Sydney, Carins (Great Barrier Reef), and New Zealand. Now that I've had my fill of traveling, I am ready to settle down in Melbourne, ace my exams (alert: false confidence! false confidence!), and write blog posts about my adventures :)

I have a new resolution. It is to be extremely stingy with my promises because being a flaky, promise-breaker is not an aspiration of mine. So here are some totally realistic and doable goals for my last month here:

• For the love of Timtams, upload your pictures onto facebook.
• Get pictures from Iana on a flashdrive.
• Do a post on the following trips:
• Sydney
• New Zealand
• Great Barrier Reef 
• Mountaineering club intro trip
• The Great Ocean Road
• Melbourne Night Markets
• Moomba Festival
• Go to a Footy (Australian Rules Football) game.
• Go to the Victoria market at least one more time.
• Study in the state library.

They're not promises, but I hope I accomplish these goals. I write in this blog so that I can read back on my adventures 10 years from now as a grumpy 30-year-old teacher, and say to myself: See? Life was good once.

haha jk. God-willing life will be good then too :) (Don't shake my head at me, 30-year-old Linda. I'm not naive!)

Did I just have a conversation with my future self?

yes.

And that is why I don't publicize certain entries.

Buhbye! :)
