So the parents have come and gone, and our currently somewhere in a big metal bird flying over the pacific ocean. It was such a nice time, I loved having them here and wish they did not have to leave. While they were here, they made sure to spoil me rotten, not sure I deserve everything I got to do. We started out up in Auckland (Waheke island) then made our way through Rotorua and Lake Taupo, down to Palmy and a quick side trip to Hawkes bay and we ended our journey in Queenstown. Queenstown greeted us with some very wet weather, but we still had a great time.
My parents trip marked my half way point and has got me thinking a lot about my return. I only have 54 more days here and then what do I do when I come home? I know I go and finish my last semester at Chico, but after that it is a big wide open world. How will I survive I spent the last 16 years of my life sheltered by the security of going to school and then in just 7 months I will be kicked out of that shelter and presented with the real world. None of this would be scary if I knew exactly what I was going to do...but you know I do not even really have a inkling of what I am going to do after I graduate. Stay in chico? Move far away? Where to work? Will anyone even hire me? I like to just keep thinking oh graduation is so far away, no need to worry about it. However, Ladies and Gentlemen graduation is just right around the corner. I feel like everybody else has a plan for graduation and I am the only one in the world just floating out here with no life jacket or plan. However, I will let myself think they are all just as scared as me, and just pretend to know what their future's hold. This at least helps ease my mind if nothing else. haha!
Well I have been completely neglecting the gym lately, so I think it is about time to give it some love.
One quick side note: I am far from being a runner...running for me usually involves much pain and agony. However, I always want to be the person who could just run for miles on end...but you know after years of wishing, not sure why it just hasn't happened. I thought when you wish upon a star, actually meant something lol? So I think becasue I am so stressed about life after Palmy I should really put some effort into becoming one of those people who can just run and run. Will see how this goes? I think I will start out very small as to not discourage myself.
