Finally made it past Christmas. It has been the magic mark, once I get past Christmas, it is only a few days till I can go home. I am glad that there is only one more night in that hotel room, it feels so small with all of us in there all of the time. I think that we are all feeling a little clastrophobic. Nearly home time.
The weather this week has been great! It is only as cold as I would expect during a Melbourne winter, I went out with only a t shirt and jumper today. Last load of washing in the IRC, last time I use the computer lab in the IRC, last night in the hotel room.
We are off to Outback Steakhouse today! Kind of a goodbye celebration. Goodbye to America.
I hada great christmas, we all got one gift from eachother, and a gift from the Coles. There will be another christmas for me when I get home. That should be fun. I am a little nervous about coming home, how will the re adjusting work out? Will I find home to be confusing? Or will the fact that it is so familiar make fitting back in easier? There will be a lot of moving houses when I get home, Mark is moving into a unit about an hour away from where he is now, so I will help pack up the house and unpack it somewhere else. Then there is me moving back into my house for uni, finding where I put all my things and furnature. That should keep me busy for a few months.
I have to try to get back my safeway job too. As much as I am saying that I don't want to do it anymore, I have to persist for a while longer, until I can make music a full time job and earn enough money from that. I will be putting a lot of energy into making it work, getting started with a few students. I have a lot of work ahead of me on my horn, but I at least have a great starting point this time, after a lot of very useful lessons from my horn teacher at UVA. The fun thing will be finding a teacher at home who will be able to keep up with what I have learnt this semester. I feel that I have learnt more about my playing in the last four months than I have during two and a half years at Melb Uni.
