uhm.. not really sure how to say all of this, cuz certain members of my family are requesting that certain information is not published online anywhere.. so it's hard to explain everything on here. actually it's impossible to.
but the gist of it is... my time in Australia is drawing to a close. Quicker than I/we expected it would. the original departure date from Australia to New Zealand was 14 Nov, and from New Zealand to LAX was 20 Nov. Now.. I'm leaving two weeks early. 1 Nov, I will be leaving for New Zealand and hopefully flying to LAX that same day. Hopefully ALSO on the same day, I will be flying to DFW, where someone will pick me up and drive me to my Grandma's house.
I haven't yet changed my tickets (cuz I'm at uni right now, and I forgot my travel documents and passport at my student housing XP), but that's the plan! and somehow i'm going to pay for it all as well.
I would leave sooner, but there is the "small" matter of the Bald Prima Donna, which is a play I'm running sound for. The play is 28-30 October, (hence my 1 Nov leave-date), and it is theone thing left that I have started and want to finish in its completion before leaving.
Recently I've really been struggling in my faith, or lack thereof. With the recent family crisis, I'm having to relearn that God really is ALL that I have that is stable, even though sometimes we have dry spells or it seems like He's not there. Basically, I'm coming to the realization that I must trust in God. b/c there is NO OTHER WAY for this to work. I'm very short on cash, and I have no way of getting any income until I'm back in America and working. Oh, nor do I have a job lined up. so ya.. Please pray for me and my family as we go through a REALLY hard time.
I suppose there is some good to all of this and the crappy situation that I find myself in. I now have two weeks to do everything in Australia that I've wanted to do, but not done, since arriving here. I'm prioritizing what's really important, and what is secondary or tertiary. There are so many people who I want to do stuff with before leaving. And because of Bald Prima Donna rehearsals, I have to have all of these activities scheduled! with almost no flexibility room. :(
so.. things that I want to do!
1) take pictures of the sunrise AND sunset from Flo Harris Lodge roof
2) go to the beach!!!
a) get SUBMERGED in the ocean
b) have a barbecue and sleep on the beach.
c) then get up and see the sunrise
3) watch the Castle
4) do things with specific people in my student housing
5) make a mural/poster with Mariah and Flo Harris people
6) take pictures of random signs
7) see a show at the Sydney Opera House
8) eat kangaroo steak!
and a whole lot more that i just can't remember at the moment...
I will refrain from putting my actual "to-do" list of not-fun things...
until next time!
