Today I reflected with my friend Aimee on Sydney. I really, really like it here, and despite not knowing many people or having much of a social life (yet), I love it. I'm not planning on coming home anytime soon; this is so where i'm supposed to be and I can't wait to explore further. I finished Bill Bryson's 'Down Under' and travelling across Australia (for the most part, if you put aside his cynicism -realism- that everything will eventually kill you) sounds so good. I'm looking at doing Kakadu in Septmeber possibly, as well as visiting Canberra and Tamworth, my lovely Em and Ellie's hometown's. My Adelaide girls (girls I met in India) are planning to come and visit me in June, that or i'm going up there to check it out.
I have secret dreams of finding someone to visit the Gold Coast theme parks with me...in reality, i'm alone on that one.
My job is incredible, last night they shouted us all (very expensive) drinks and food at a Darlinghurst Bar, for doing such a good job at being awesome. I had so much fun, the people I work with are amazing and so much fun, i laughed so hard. Plus I wore my pretty new red dress and looked awesome, so that was good.
Ellie and Em are incredible, I see them usually about once a week or so and we have such a good time, plus they've introduced me to their flatmates and friends so my social circle is widening. They're such amazing people and really inspire me to be a better person, a person that loves and lives life. And that's good.
My flatmate David is a sweetheart and is great to live with, our schedules are very different so I don't see a lot of him but we work together well, he's lovely.
Cottage Church is amazing. The people there are not only really friendly, funny and awesome, they're real. They're a bunch of people who believe in God and want to follow him in a way that I so respect. They think in community ways, always doing stuff to help out the community or thinking about how they can. They're immediately welcoming and loving and I feel genuinely at home there. The Anglican thing is fun, I went to worship in the most beautiful church, which was so awesome, singing songs I loved and knew and feeling so grateful for the surroundings.
Sydney as a whole is fun. It's so freaking big and I have so much to explore, but i'm getting there. Having a car would be awesome as buses are VERY confusing, but my friends and colleagues are very helpful in helping me find where to go. I haven't explored as much as I want to, but in a couple of weeks Brendan is visiting and we'll go and explore and do the tourist thing, which will be good, it's never the same on your own.
This weekend i'm going home to visit friends and family. I am SO looking forward to it. Life is good.
