I'm not sure if I talked you guys about this yet or not, but I have been feeling pretty lonely up here lately. I don't feel like I have made any lasting friendships, just people that will come and go in my life. The friends I have up here are fun to party with, but I'm getting sick of that. I want something more, something meaningful - like my friendship with you guys. (I know that was super cheesy, but it's true!!) At the end of the day, I just end up feeling empty.
However, I'm really excited to leave for Australia! I don't know what to expect, and this frightens and excites me at the same time. I'm really just looking for a change. Everyone I know who has studied abroad has told that this is the most amazing experience they have ever had, and that you come back with a different view of life, a different perspective. Maybe when I come back to Davis, I will have a new perspective and be able to find a solution to my friend problems.
I don't really have much else to say now. I will probably have more to say when my departure date (August 13) gets closer.
Linda, how are things in Slovenia? Post pictures!!
