Decisions
I haven’t written in a very long time now. There have been a lot of things going on and everything hasn’t been on pink puffy clouds. The floodings in Queensland created a lot of suffering for a lot of people. We got it around us and were very lucky for being spared. But on other places the water covered houses and a lot of people lost there homes. Crops got destroyed and you couldn’t buy fresh vegetable or fruits in the shops anymore. Milk and milk products were almost impossible to get hold of and the fuel price got more expensive. Maroochydore where I live got spared and didn’t get as much water, but it still got more than 1600m.m. rainfall from 1 of December until 1 march. Which is a lot!
My hostfamily announced that they where moving to Toowoomba. The town that got flash flooded and had an inland tsunami. But also the town where they have family. They gave me the choice of coming along or staying here on the coast. I decided that it would be a fun experience to come along. And the process started with the move, and it didn’t really go as planned and we have been really busy with that and I’ve been feeling a bit depressed and everyone has been over the top stressed about the situation.
Right now we are camping while we are waiting for a house. We have been ‘homeless’ for 9 days. And during the first days of camping we had major storms which made the tent leak in and that one got flooded as well. Not the best start. It’s too much to write down here but in the end now I have some mayor decisions to make. That will change everything. And I am really struggling with it as the decision I make will be lifechanging! I hate having to make decisions! But I know that its part of life and life is not always easy.
Back to something a little happier. About three weeks ago I went to the Gold coast with a friend for two nights. It was really fun. I got a giftvoucher at a hotel at Surfers paradise for me and a friend from my hostfamily. So during those three days we went to the beach and got burned, we went up the mountain and got lost hiking on a track that was closed because of danger. We went walking on the evening and got sore feet and we went to Draculas cabaret restaurant and watched an awesome show. We also checked out the casino. It was a very good and well needed vacation in the middle of a time with a lot of stress and worrying.
Last week Miranda and Louise came and visit me here and I had a good time. It felt really nice to have some friends from back home visiting and it was nice to show them around. Greatest was the salsa evening at Montegos which all of us really enjoyed and I got Nathan to help them out dancing and now I’m just waiting to see the pictures from the evening!
Two days ago I went to a 21 birthdayparty with dresscode. I got to borrow a really pretty dress from a friend which fitted good, lucky!
From all of these events I have tons of pictures. So after along time here and very few pictures, then finally I few will be posted! I’ve got some from my Gold coast trip but from the Salsa dancing and 21st birthday party the pictures will come later once I get a hold of my contact cable which is packed down already.
