Dear Self

Oh hey, I heard you were feeling just a little down today. But I can't understand why, you had a great day and all.

Perhaps just feeling a little lonely? Which is most likely the case, because the amount of couple, engaged or married is becoming astronomical. I wouldn't be suprised if you were feeling just a little left out of the picture.

Or maybe it's not fitting in with people? You're a high-school drop out, not studying at university, still single and perhaps feeling just a little bit of a train wreck.

Why can't you feel just a little bit better about yourself? You have the whole world ahead of you, ready and waiting for you to explore. Try new things. Get your feet dirty. Experience life.

Can you just be content with who you are? Can you be happy as a single person in amongst a crowd of many who aren't? Can you be positive and happy almost all the time? Can you speak to someone new and not have awkward long moments of silence?

Maybe sometime in the future there is a man who would be half crazy enough to want to spend the rest of his life with you, but for now... you just gotta be happy. Be a happy, single and delightful Karina. Because that is what you do best.

Random Rollicking Rampage!!

HAH. And I bet you all thought I disappeared huh?

Well Karina is still around.
Just life gets a little busy, ya know?

Okay, so I'm lying just a little bit. I've been not so busy sometimes, such as weekdays when I'm not working and I'm at home with my butt on my chair in front of a computer screen or chillaxing in front of the idiot box with The Jetsons (1st season, bought it a couple of months ago, best buy for a long time!) or playing with Lee-Lee (my affectionately named iPhone, yes 3G, and only an 8GB model).

On weekends I'm at young adults (Twelve20ne, loving it!) on a Friday night, working on Saturdays, lazy Sunday which ends with a church service and going out to a cafe for supper.
So you could say I absolutely LOVELOVELOVE weekends (minus Saturday).

OH! And did I tell you? I'm spending a whole month (and a bit) at the end of the year (get back exactly on Christmas Eve) in USA. I'm so freaking excited about it. But I have tons to do yet. I have booked my hotel in Waikiki (just next to Honolulu), Hawaii and booked my return flights from Adelaide to Honolulu. But things I need to do...
1. Passport, I don't have one, never needed one. Until now.
2. Book other flights - from Honolulu to Atlanta and return.
3. Pester my friend to get confirmation whether I can stay at his house or not.
4. Travel Insurance.
5. Make list of things to do, places to go. (Walmart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
6. Earn enough spending money.
So I have as little as 11 (omigosh AGH) weeks to accomplish all those things.

Another thing is I will be leaving my job before I leave Adelaide. Which will be rad. So much freedom. No money rolling in, but I won't mind being a bum for summer. I'll probably just bug parentals for money when I most need it. =D

Next year I plan on studying at uni. Except not at silly little Flinders, I hated the foundation course there, especially doing over the internet (= VERY bad idea). I'm going to be at UniSA, doing Foundation Studies (yes, again!), which I've heard a lot of good about. It also means I will be graduating when I'm around 24-25, but I don't care, as long as I'm doing something I love. Hmm... still yet to decide what that is yet.

That is enough of my random rollicking rampages for this blog post.
It's getting early and my brain isn't functioning properly. Yay.

Cya kiddos!
