Welcome to Queensland!

As most of you know from my million posts about moving, I am now a resident of Queensland. Hervey Bay to be exact. I'm living in a lovely house in the lovely suburb of Point Vernon, which has ocean in all directions except inland. I've gotten used to the humidity and the heat rather quickly, which is surprising since I come from a place that has no humidity most of the time. I do have to essentially redo my entire waredrobe to suit the climate and style, but I will get there in time, because it has to match my personal style, which has actually changed, so I don't really own anything I want to wear anyway.

There are a few things I am not quite used to yet. Everything here is a lot cheaper than it was in a tiny town in rural New South Wales, food and clothing wise, rent wise, almost everything really. Everything is a 2 minute drive away, and if it's not here, it's either in Bundaberg or Gympie, and they are less than an hour away, and I'm used to traveling 2 hours for limited resources. There are a new array of bugs, including sand fly's. There are reptiles that come inside the house, including gecko's (photo). And worst of all, everyone else is in a different time zone to me, so it's a little hard when they text me and it's only 7am.

Other than that, I think I'll be able to handle living here. I believe I'll be doing a certificate 3 in business for the next 6 months, and hopefully getting a part time job with any place that handles any kind of events so I can get into the industry. And then who knows, I'd like to move to Brisbane and spend two years at SAE still, and then do my Bachelor of Business in Events Management specialising in music related events. But we'll see what happens. I'd also like to be living overseas by then, but currently I don't see that one happening.

As for right now, I'm going to hopefully eat something soon because I am super hungry, then I'm going to go watch Bernard Tomic play tennis, because I love tennis, and he is great to watch. He's so tall and lanky, it's kind of like he's barely moving to get the ball. 


As for the only piece of advice I have for anyone right now: don't make plans, because plans don't often work out in the way you imagine. So set a goal, and take the journey as it comes. That way you can't be disappointed when things go awry, and you can enjoy every step you take on the way to that goal. And learn to laugh, at everything. There is no other way to really handle anything, because if you can't laugh then you can't enjoy life. Take it as it comes, and laugh when it all goes wrong.
