Sad Day

So as most of you know by now I have a return date finally to the states, July 13th. I have a late return date compared to all my international friends. Today was a really hard day because friends left and it hit me that I am leaving. Dont get me wrong, Im super excited to go home and be with everyone, but I am really not ready to leave the friends that I have made here. There are some here that have really made an impact on my life and im not ready to leave them. God really brings people into our lives and we dont always know the impact they have on us until later. My time here has been amazing and im glad that I have had this opportunity. The short time that I have had here has been awesome. I still have over two weeks left and they are going to be amazing. So I made it through my sad day and Im going to enjoy the rest of the time I have here. See you all soon.

Sydney + done with Uni = smile

So today was my last exam and I am now done with Uni.. im so happy but also sad because that means my trip is coming to an end. I have really enjoyed my time here and will be missing lots of people. I have really mixed feelings about coming home. I cant wait to see everyone and be with my family and friends again but Im going to miss so many people from here. I knew that this would happen but I knew there was an end date to this trip. I feel that this was such a great thing for me to do and do not regret anything.

But..I actually made it to Sydney last week. I was just way too busy with exams to post about. I was like a little kid the whole train ride there. I was just so excited. I got there and we went toward the harbour and I was so happy. I was thinking to myself.. Omg I am 21 and have fulfilled a life goal! Im in Australia staring at the Sydney Opera house!!! I just felt so overwhelmed and felt compelled to share with my family. I called home on the phone (2nd time since I have been here) and was just overjoyed with my life. I was talking to my family and in a great city. God is so amazing that he has allowed this whole thing for me. We went all over Sydney and all saw so much and had the most amazing pancakes (important things in life). haha But with that trip done with my trip feels so complete, but still I have about a month left and then I will be back in the states. Time sure goes by fast!
