Sunday March 11th - One Month Anniversary

       Today is my one month anniversary of coming to Australia. It doesn't feel like that long and at the same time it does not seem that short. It doesn't really feel at all, it's just time. The full moments are fulfilling in a way that nothing else has before and are often simpler than expected. The empty moments are rare yet more frequent then you think and they are the longest. I miss home but I'm through the roof about being here its just adjusting to being here on my own and I'm okay with that :)

In this month I have:

o eaten strange new foods (mostly junk)
o been proposed to by a German
o drank
o Swam in the ocean, twice
o swam with a penguin
o drank
o taken risks and had adventures
o inhaled vodka
o ran out the city center looking like a soccer team
o come together as part of a Pokémon themed morale booster
o been the black sheep at a toga party
o posted soul exposing drunken videos of myself
o seen koalas, kangaroos, echidnas, platypi (I don't care what anyone tells you that is what the plural should be called), various birds, wallabies flying foxes and lyre birds
o drank
o got a phone, lost a phone
o listened to the symphony by the river at sunset 
o blacked out drunk
o seen Amanda Palmer and had her sign my chest
o written over 10,000 words in 20 blog posts
o and oh yeah, moved to Australia

      It's not enough. This is not justification. I must make better use of my time.
