Its been quite a dramatic week for me, a few ups and a few downs.

I would just like to thank all my friends (you know who you are) for helping me out yesterday. I have been feeling really guilty lately about something I did over New Years and Wednesday. I can't say much (to protect the innocent) except thank you guys for helping me out!

Today was great! Melanie (who I have a little thing for) and I went out to Sydney observatory for a bit... her dad works there. I took some pretty good photos of the sunset behind Anzac bridge, which you can see in the photo archive. We took a quick peek around the place, then rushed out to see the International Space Station fly by - I was impressed at its brightness! After about 5 min of looking at the stars, we headed back down to George St. to meet up with Tim - her friend from Melbourne. We had some drinks and just hung out until her dad was done at the Observatory.

Well my trip to BPI a few days ago didn't go as well as I planned - there doesen't seem to be much work around. I am going to call Kathryn from Digi Do on Monday to see if I will be returning to work. If not, then I am going home most likely that week (or next). Right now I only have enough money for about 2 weeks, I can't really be bothered to try to find a job. I havn't really had the chance to see/do some of the things I wanted to see/do. You must not forget why I came to Australia - to live like an Aussie. I didn't want to be a tourist, I wanted to make friends, do what the Aussies do. I have done that, my goal is completed. If I go home next week, I will go home happy that I accomplished my goal. Whats stopping me from coming back and doing the tourist thing?

Australia has been home to me for the past 10 months - and me going back to Canada feels more like a vacation, than returning home. I am used to the way things are done here and I just know that I will catch my self looking the wrong way when crossing the street back in Canada ;) . I am really going to miss Sydney, especially all my friends. I know the next few weeks are going to be really depressing for me, but I have to keep my chin up and make the best of it!

Tomorrow I am going to a Birthday party, most (if not all) my friends are going to be there. It might be the last time I see them all together if I dont have any work come Monday. I just wish I could look into the future and find out if I will be staying longer or not - just so that I can make Tomorrow just that more special :)

Blah, I need to sleep, almost 3am. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any thoughts on helping me cope with 'travelers depression'.
