It's Been Too Long

So, finally after 6 months, I have reliable and legal internet access!

I actually got it back on Monday but really have not bothered to post until now because this week has been somewhat hectic.

1. Yits is almost over. We had our last lecture and time at Tabor today. Tomorrow till Monday we are volunteering with Encounter Youth at Schoolies down at Victor Harbor, which I suspect will be a lot of fun but also a new experience to me. Next week we finish up with Celebration Camp. It will be a sad weekend with a lot of address/email/phone number exchanging, photo taking and tears but it is a great way to end off the year. It's been an intense year and I am glad for it to be over, whilst at the same time feeling depressed because I am not going to see everyone for a while.

2. Summer is here. We had a heatwave of a week, in the thirty degree celsius plus range. It hit about 37 or 38 at one stage. The weather has since cooled down a little, but temperatures are expected to pick up over the weekend.

3. Next year is still in the process of planning. I have just a little over a week to finalise my university preferences and still have to call up a number of people from UniSA tomorrow. If all else fails, I will work full time and go travelling. I do, however, not want to put study on hold if I can help it. I'll be out of university by the age of twenty-five if I'm lucky.

4. I have not told many people of this at all, but I felt drawn to now as I know there are many people in the same situation as me and feel somewhat discouraged. I decided to stay committed to being single for at least six months from the date of my last breakup. I found the commitment hard at start and I still do sometimes find it hard, but I figure it's all worth it in the end. This commitment was not to give me time to go 'man-hunting', but to have time to grow, time to be with friends, time to think and time to reassess myself. I do not consider anything wrong with myself, but I have found the importance of working out why I want to be with someone of the opposite sex. I guess I couldn't pick it out before, but I find I am a bit selfish in relationships, there was times when the only reason that I was with someone was because I felt somewhat whole and without them I would feel alone. I guess that is what a relationship is partly, but there should be love, you should be with someone because you love them. In a way, I did love the previous people I was with, but I was in the relationship for the wrong reasons. That could make better sense, but I just can't help that right now.

So... that's a few pieces of what's been going on in my life since the last I blogged.

I suppose some kind of lengthy sleep is in order for I, before I begin Schoolies activities tomorrow. Oh, and vote. Bob Day for Makin. :)
