Sunday 30 October 2011

My last Sunday...

Today was bittersweet...

It was really really great to see everyone at church but it was horrible having to say goodbye to everyone close to me.

My youth worker asked all my friends in the youth group to come and pray for me so of course I started to cry when they all mentioned the friendships we had and the what I meant to them. I'm going to miss everyone so much.
Hilton has always felt like to home to me and everyone in it like family.
So I'm really sad to leave. Its people getting emotional that gets to me.

I keep telling myself its only 9 months but in my head it seems like forever.

So all those from church thanks for this morning, it meant alot and I'm gonna miss you loads

A week of stress, sorting and goodbyes...

That's it. It's official. I'm going to New Zealand a week today.

AHHHHHHHHHHH

On Friday my visa came through so I can work in New Zealand while I'm there.
On Monday we booked my flights.
On Tuesday my insurance was sorted.

So this week is the week of stressing, sorting everything out and saying goodbye.

I've bought lots already and I've still got a lot to get...
Camera, phone, socks, bikini, earphones?

So much to sort out:
Make sure that all my uni stuff is in order for when I get back
Get references sorted
Send away SU stuff
write cards for some occasions
Get gifts for host family

So many people to see and say bye to and not enough time :(
Hopefully i'll see all my church friends on Sunday, Lighthouse crew on Friday.

At my Birthday party I said bye to the closest people but its harder when your actually leaving.

Ah well, wish me luck x

Big girl in a Little town

I have always lived in a little town but it's always felt big to me...

Loch Ness 10 minutes drive, work 5 minutes drive, town 10 minutes drive, cinema 10 minutes drive, chippy 5 minutes drive, School 5 minutes walk, church 10 minutes drive, you would bump into someone everywhere you went?

Inverness is so familiar but just the right size!

This week I'm staying in Edinburgh and it seems so big. You have to travel to get anywhere, commuting? That's a word you never hear back home.

In approximately a fortnight I will be moving to New Zealand! NEW ZEALAND!!! Right on the other side of the World, don't think I could get any further away from Inverness.

Home is gonna be so far away... If I find Edinburgh a big city how on earth will I cope with the capital of New Zealand!
