Here for the Year

Hi all, this is just a quick update i guess.

All i have to report is that ive decided not to visit OZ in March. There are various reasons for this, mainly the money and that it could be otherwise spent on visiting new places and doing things over here, which is why im here.

I have to say though that it was a very hard decision to make. I had been planning for about a month to go home, then slowly realised that even though i have my return ticket to use up until 21st March 2008, its still going to cost me a far bit. Also, i know im going to be home for Christmas this year, im planning to come home in early December i think. By that stage i know i will have used up my years worth of legal work that im allowed to do on my visa and ill be low on cash.

One plus is that my travel agent has mentioned that i may be able to claim a refund or some credit for Thai Airways when i cancel my return flight, which is awesome news. Im chasing that one up at the moment as i might be able to use the credit to pay for my flight back to OZ later in the year.

I have really mixed feelings at the moment about not coming home, there are certain people that i really would have love to have seen, but i know that this year will fly like the rest of them and ill be home in no time. Im just going to live with my decision to stay another year and make the most out of it!

Im really enjoying being back at the Museum as well. A couple of other gals and me are planning to start a vegie garden out in the back yard. The other day we went to buy seeds and all of that, so at the moment we are waiting for the frosts to stop and we can start working on the soil. In the mean time we have to sow the seeds and get them germinated and ready to go outside. Its really exciting, i can't wait to get in there and learn about how to do it. Plus by Spring some of the vegies should be ready to eat, like the tomatos and lettuces etc.

Im still keeping focused on next year. Im getting really anxious to start studying and learning about Health and Nutrition. Im always getting out library books and reading all the time, trying to get some basic knowledge about what ill be studying next year. I know that i want to apply for Uni again, so im trying not to let my brain go to moosh in the mean time! hehe

Anyways, must be off. I guess i should apologise to those people who i told that i was going to come home in March and see them, but i will definitely be seeing you all at the end of the year anyway. I hope all is well with everyone.

Bye for now! oxoxox
