Mafia

I went to the temple last night! I love the temple! I haven't gone very much since being in Australia, this was only my 3rd time doing a session since May. Che vergogna...I am looking forward to living in Utah again where there are a plentiful supply of temples and friends with cars who I can go with! :) But seriously, it gets repetitive sometimes but I always feel so peaceful when I'm inside doing the work.

I have been feeling a bit anxious this week...this coming weekend is very busy with some intense things happening and next weekend I'm going to Melbourne so there's been planning for all that, and then I'm out of here in 2 weeks. I'm happy and excited to go back to Utah, but there is a lot of uncertainty as there always is about moving to a new place. I guess it's mostly grad school that's stressing me out haha. I have A LOT to do before I can apply...and for some schools apps are already being accepted. I can't apply yet though because I don't have any OT observation hours yet. I have a bunch of PT hours, but that obviously doesn't count. I have something lined up when I get back in a hospital but I'm going to have to get hours fast. Plus I have to find a job asap. And figure out how to take a couple online classes that are prereqs for OT school (at least they don't have to be done before apps are due). And take the GRE. And I don't have a car because I sold mine before I came to Australia. Mamma mia. But I DO have a place to live. And I'll get the rest of it figured out. But the thing about being across the world is that I can't do a whole lot. Emails only go so far, and half the time people don't even answer them. I can't call and I can't go to them yet. Applying for things online isn't very effective in my opinion.

So yeah. A bit of anxiety thinking about it all but not being able to do a whole lot at the moment.

In case that sounded negative, I'm not upset about it all. It's just a lot to digest and it helps me to write it down all in one place to know what I need to do. Hence why I like lists...I like having a visual of exactly what needs to be done.

Awesome talk I read yesterday:

President Uchtdorf is the bomb.

But yes, what am I doing this weekend? Well, I'm going to a YSA dance tonight to get my groove on. Tomorrow I'm going skydiving. Sunday I'm running a 10k.

It is the skydiving that is making me the most anxious I suppose hahaha...I'm way excited but slightly a lot nervous too...I'll be glad when it's over in less than 24 hours hahahaha! But it's going to be AWESOME!!!

The past couple weeks have been pretty standard. Last Saturday I made my way up to the Sunshine Coast and got to explore around a small town and see pretty scenery. My favorite kind of touring is looking at and being in the scenery. :)

We were going to hike that mountain behind me but it was closed...good thing we checked before we went!

Glass House Mountains

I wanted to start climbing that tree real bad.

The tiny town I explored.

Found the Mafia in Australia!

Good stuff.
