Hey guys,

So summer has hit Sydney and so I decided to have a bit of a tropical, island holiday with my best friend of 17 years. A few months ago we decided that we wanted to get out of Sydney for a week and just find a place to relax and unwind, after a long year of things we had overcome.

 

So at 7o'clock on Friday the 6th of December we headed to the airport and started our half a day journey to Fiji's Nadi international airport. One plus side of picking Fiji is that it didn't really throw out our sleeping patterns as they are only two hours ahead of Sydney, But it still meant we lost some time of our Friday.

 

Once we landed we headed straight to the resort we were staying at. On the hour long drive I took in the surrounding landscape. It reminded me a lot of my time on Samoa, which I went on a school trip to 5 years ago. The whole atmosphere reminded me a lot of my time there, which was a nice reminder of  the amazing time I had there.

We were met with beautiful, lush vegetation and mild warm weather. A large difference form Sydney, which had been going through rather dramatic weather changes.

 

 

There's nothing like spending an entire week relaxing at a resort on a tropical island. Whilst we didn't do much exploring off of the grounds of our resort we did get to immerse ourselves in the Fijian lifestyle. Like getting to watch some traditional dances, enjoying local food and drinks and swimming in the crystal clear water that was just outside our room.

 

I think this holiday was good for both of us. It was a nice little break from home, and a good chance to get away from it all before the craziness of Christmas starts.

 

I hope you are all having a great holiday season so far. I am off to pack my bags once again and go on a countryside trip to visit my grandparents.

Saying goodbye to one thing, and hello to something new.

Hey guys,

 

So the end of 2013 is coming and this means the end of something's and the start of new and exciting things. So as of last week I finished something that I have been doing for the last two years, and as sad as that is, I'm a little excited for whatever lies ahead of me next year.

 

I think that that is the good thing about the end of the year, getting to start new things in the new year. It is an exciting though that I will be doing new things next year.

 

 

Saying goodbye.

For the past two years I have been studying at the a small collage with a bunch of the same people there, and now that the end of the year is coming I wont be going beck next year as I am moving to a different place and will be doing things. But the past two years have been great and I have met some awesome people there. I got to make some really god friends with people who are a blast to hang out with, and that will definitely be one of the sad things about leaving next year. 

 

Next year also means that I will be unable to do one thing that I have done every year for the past five or six years. And this kind of makes me sad, it's a place that I have made many friends, but moving away next year also means that I will be unable to do this because I will be so far away that coming back every week would be too hard.

 

Goodbyes are always hard, but I will keep these memories with me for the rest of my life and also hopefully the friends that I have made there as well.

 

Fresh starts and hello's.

Starting next year I will be moving down to Melbourne to study at a University down there and that kind of scares me. I have never really lived in a different place, it's been the same house my entire life, in the same suburb. And moving to a different state is a big jump.

 

But I am still super excited for this opportunity, as it means I get to experience new and different things, and I get to explore(which is something I love doing) a new place. So the excitement overshadows scared feeling. But no matter what I know I will enjoy myself.

 

 

Now is merely the time to enjoy life and do as much as I can with the people at home as I can before I leave. Like going to Fiji with my best friend. So I think I'm ready for whatever comes my way.

 

That's all for now,

xx Kat
