Gosh, well I'm sorry for the American travels blog that got cut short. I guess I sort of ran out of time and was having too much fun in the states and then pretty much the day after I got home it was Christmas (quite literally, I rocked up at Adelaide aiport at around 8pm on Christmas Eve). So I was considerably tired on that Christmas day, although enjoyed being back to a familiar place again where I didn't get charged extra at the checkout, drive on the wrong side of the road or deal with a very different climate.
Nonetheless my time in America was excellent, my highlights were Orlando in Florida, where I spent a few days by myself just wandering through Disney World and Universal Studios and braving the biggest rollercoasters I've ever been on in my entire life. Before that I was in Alabama, in a pretty little city called Huntsville. I experienced foods of different varieties throughout my whole trip including Red Robin (massive burgers with a generous serving of chips that they refill for free if you eat them all :o), Outback Steakhouse (which was a hilarious experience for me btw) and various other take out places. My trip from Huntsville to Orlando couldn't have been any more nerve-wracking, with my flight to Atlanta that had to turn back to Huntsville half way through because of a storm in Atlanta, had to get my flight changed to leave from Huntsville to Washington DC (which is completely the opposite direction from Atlanta and Orlando) and then to Orlando from DC. It was a good adventure though, because at least I can say I've been to the city with the White House.. even though I spent approximately an hour there, only just enough time to find out how to get to my terminal (the airport was excessively huge, there was a train shuttle running between terminals!) and grab some food.
Anyway, so here I am back home and I think I'm ready to go back there again in winter of 2010 for a few months!
A lot has happened between now and then...
I started uni (Foundation Studies) at UniSA which has been quite a journey, I'm almost at half way mark and haven't dropped out yet (good sign). Seem to be getting along pretty well in my study, for a majority of my assignments I have been getting distinctions or credits (with the exception of a couple of high distinctions and one pass 1).
Over a month ago I started a relationship with a boy named Elliott from Queensland, after meeting him officially at Easterfest Music Festival in Toowoomba. Already I am planning to live in his town for a couple of months from August of this year and then hopefully he is moving here in Adelaide permanently as from December. So things with him have been coming along exellently.
Haven't been working since I quit my job at Brumby's before leaving for America late last year. It's been quite a challenge for me, surviving on the little amount of youth allowance I get. Infact, so small that it's not even worth budgeting for. But leaning towards some sort of employment before the year is out, just so I can start some sort of savings towards the future.
That's about as updated as I can get.
