walkin in a sizzlin summerland

im alive!!!


Yeah thats right. every time i try to write on here. I start. realize how much Ive done since iv been here. Get overwhelmed and stop.
I know its probably not the best way to communicate back home...But hey...theres always facebook updates for anything major right?? haha.

Anyways. Ill try to attempt this again. Hopefully I wont freak out like the last 3 times.


Christmas coming up pretty quick. although it doesnt really feel like christmas at all.
I dont know if its the weather being so stinkin hot and humid that means the land has a complete lack of snow ( or anything remotly close to anything cold ) and the fact that my glasses fog up when i go OUTSIDE because the air con is so cold compared to the blistering heat. or the fact that my friends and family that i always spend christmas with aren't here.

For me christmas always started when the first snow fall came. and its finally hit me that im not going to have a white christmas this year.

But im strangely ok with that...


I dont know if im thinking that because i have next to no choice or that im excited about something different.
This whole year has been something different or an entirely new experince in itself and I dont think iv regretted any of it thus far so why start now? especially around christmas.

Its been absolutly insane these last 6 months, I mean yeah , i miss home. But i've done so many things i never dreamed of doing.

Camping in a rainforest.
swimming in multiple waterfalls,
ocean fishing, ( and actually catching something )
swimming in the ocean again...... SEEING the ocean again,
Camping on an Island and seeing Koalas. Kangaroos, Possums and Lizards of all kinds,
longboarding by the beach EVERY week,
eating kangaroo
seeing a live rugby ( football ) game
climbing a mountain to see a sunset over the ocean,
walking home in a tropical thunderstorm,
Having something i designed end up on a tshirt,
filming with a proffessional team on a main stage event on the beach,
having some of my photos used in advertising for the citys event stable on the strand,
Seeing my designs being used on promotional material
actually KNOWING how to design things.

you know...The kind of things that if you told me id be doing them. Id probably punch you for getting my hopes up. something like that.

I've met certain people in my time here that i am abundantly glad i have. and almost seems worth it to be here just for meeting them. Even though its worth it to be here for so many more reasons. and these last 6 months have been so random i cant even begin to dream of where i will end up in the next 6. Seriosly. Retarded.


Thats about all i can muster without my brain overloading.

All in all. this update is to say,
Im not dead...
and Happy christmas
