WHAT HAVE I LEARNED UNTIL NOW?

Today it's raining and I feel a little down. Missing home a bit right now, all the things that I'll "miss". Most of all it's probably the presence of family and good friends. I miss them all a lot right now and I'm actually longing for some fall-feelings, drinking hot chocolate with my mom, going to P's apartment and eating cheese, the comfort of having someone you really know close to you :/ yup, I miss it. Well on a rainy day it's alright I guess. I've just printed a crap load of resumes out, and I am ready to go throw them at any store I can possibly find tomorrow haha! Also I applied for jobs online today, so I feel productive. I am gonna get a freaking job. Hell yeah!

I thought that I'd write down some of the things I've learned within the last month, because it's always fun with lists like that - at least I think so and I like them :3

I've learned:
...to drink tea without sugar!
...to say "heaps" instead of "a lot" and "hay" instead of "huh"
...to be a vegetarian, since meat is very expensive haha (kidding, I'll always love meat)
...to be more outgoing and talkative 
...to wash my clothes in time, so that I will actually have clean underwear
...to draw eyes more realistic
...to be okay with (some) failure
...to drink more wine! Red, white and rosé, all the time.
...to aim for the good and low prices at the grocery store
...to write a resume in English
...to use my Danish charm as an advantage (still learning hehe)
...to overcome the fear of handing out resumes and having trial shifts (something good came out of that scumbag cafe at least)
...to massage my own neck, since mom can't do it (I'm still learning, actually it's not going really well)
...to overcome my fear of sharks and actually touch the water - my feet were under, hurray!
...that people aren't always honest, and they can use you for their advantage
...that family and friends mean the world to me (always realize this when doing these things haha)
...that it will never be easy for me to leave home
...that you have to push yourself in order to gain experience - life starts at the end of your comfort zone
...that I really like Australian culture
...that I LOVE the sun
...that it is normal having parrots in your backyard
...that all kinds of nasty animals live right here with me (not ready to acknowledge that just yet, even though I've seen a "small" spider at the size of my index finger)
...that if you eat all the time and don't do exercise, you will gain weight :(
...that I really don't like spending money without earning any
...that I really don't do well all alone, I need people!
...that I like audio books a lot
...that time actually goes fast even though you've had some rough times
...that even though I hoped this was the time for me to get healthy and fit, that is not going to be the case, since healthy food is expensive haha
...that I enjoy living in a town with a big asian culture = chinese food, heaps of it, yummyyyy!
...that living in Australia is as expensive as Denmark, and I can therefore not buy tons of clothes (bummer)
...that I'll probably miss winter when I've had a month of 40 degrees, and that I'll probably miss that when I return home
...that, last but not least, I AM FREAKING AWESOME for doing this and getting this far. Credit to moi, hehehe!
