Melbourne Update

Yesterday I landed in Melbourne at 12:20 in the afternoon. I was pretty nervous to be honest. My 2 bestfriends Josh and Jennifer went with me to the airport and waited until I took off. I was feeling shit the whole way because I didn't want to leave. Honestly, walking through that gate and onto the plane, it was heart breaking. I was looking back every now and then to wave goodbye to Josh and Jennifer, The lump in my throat was building up but I tried really hard to hold back the tears. As soon as I walked through the plane, one last look at them and I went through, Found my seat and just took my book out to keep me distracted. Tears were flowing like crazy but I had to hold it in. I read my book the whole through and tried to sleep but it was way too cold to do that. Once I landed, it was so hot. I made my way through easily. Melbourne airport is very VERY simple. My sister, my brother in law (sallys boyfriend) and my dad were waiting for me. Once we got my suitcases, we went to go visit mum at her workplace. It was a very far drive and my sister and I just started talking about Melbourne. She filled me in with the family. We ate at the coffee club after visiting mum and hell was that expensive ! Then we went home to drop off my suitcases and headed over to my aunts, I met the family and they all spoke english so thank god for that because I'm not very good at speaking my language. We chilled and I was dead tired. We went home around 4:30 and then I just got dressed and got comfortable with my bed. I went to take a nap and woke up around 10:30. Only because Josh called me and woke me up. As soon as I heard his voice, the lump in my throat was back. I couldn't hold it back so I let it go. Tears flowed out of my eyes like crazy. I was very homesick. I really wanted to just go back to Brisbane. He tried to comfort me and told me to stay strong. It was really hard for me to be honest. I came very close to just giving up and book a ticket back home, Eventually, Josh talked me out of it and I stayed calm. I took a nice hot shower to calm myself and then we skyped the whole night. I miss him.

Today, it was a very productive day. I woke up and decided to unpack. Clean, do my laundry and everyone else's laundry. My grandma came to visit and she was very emotional. My room is huge. So is my bed. It feels weird to have such a huge bed to myself. I always had a single but I have a double to myself. I washed the dishes and cleaned basically the whole house. It kept me distracted to be honest. I'm starting to get used to where I am. I like the way that I'm home with the family. I got sick as soon as I landed because of the temperature change but I'm feeling better now. Except for the runny nose and the continuous sneezing. I'm going clubbing next Saturday after Tinashe's concert which is pretty awesome. I've longed for this family feels but I only wished that it was in Brisbane where my friends could just come over to chill. My house is huge. Very spacious. It would have been perfect for a party haha. I'm excited for Josh to come next month. He misses me so much he can't wait to see me in May so he decided to come here in March for about a week. Where I live reminds me of where I used to live in Joshs house. The stars aren't as bright over here. And the weather is so weird. One minute it's hot then it's cold. I need to get used to this haha. My sickness will be on and off LOL. If I have time tomorrow, I'll take photos of the house, inside and out just to give you guys the idea of where I live. Until tomorrow.
