Home time soon!!!

Well its just over a week and a half until i go home. I am so looking forward to getting back. I have had a wonderful time here. It has been challenging and rewarding. I have done things that terrifed me before, and i have realised that they aren't actually that scary, i just built them up in my mind. I realise i can do a lot more than I gave myself credit for. So this has been one of the best experiences of my life so far really. Even though I have been through some hard times here too, loneliness, being betrayed by my best friend, being real home sick, finding it hard to be pateint with my friends (whom i love dearly) etc etc...but it has only made me stronger. Now i have to go home and deal with the things i need to get sorted and begin a new life back in NZ. I don't think i will travel for a wee while. I feel like settling down for a long time. Things haven't really just been quiet and normal for me for a ages. I want to get my own flat, finish my photo albums of my Sweden trip and start a photo album for this trip, take a photography course, get myself in shape, save to buy a house, watch lots of movies with my sisters, spend heaps of of time playing with my neice, go to Church and Bible study...there are plenty more, but these are my goals at the moment. I'll start with these and see where they lead me. So i'm excited and also a bit scared because who knows whats going to happen next...I have been surprised and shocked plenty of times with things that have happened in my life, hopefully i will only be surprised and shocked by good things for the next wee while...
