So we are on our last night here and it seems like its been a long stay in some ways, but so short in others.
We came down so my partner could donate to a lesbian couple, which he did, and I am very proud of him for it. They bought their friend along to meet us, and she ended up taking a donation as well, which is fine. We are just happy to help out.
Unfortunately for me, I have a head cold which has become progressively worse as ive been here.
Have been trying to upload a pic of the city, but my computer isn't cooperating.
Back home tomorrow, have to brave public transport for around 5 hours. Ugh.

Moving forward
Well well, life seems to be crawling along at a strange pace lately. Christmas seems to be gaining on us awfully fast, but next year couldn't come fast enough! I have finally bitten the bullet, so to speak, and applied for the course I have wanted to do for years! The only problem is that I have to wait until next year to start, thus next year not coming fast enough.
My living situation is still rocky, and I am currently living in a shed with my partner, soon to be moving into another shed but I am thankful that I have somewhere I can stay at least. I am quite thankful that I now have friends as well. Since I left school I have mostly been a loner, keeping to myself and my family most of the time, but I reached out and I met a wonderful couple who have let us stay with them until we find a house. Their kids love me too which is also a bonus. I described myself to one of their mothers as 'the cool aunty who isn't cool and isn't their aunty'. She found it quite amusing, as did I at the time. Yes, I said mothers, being plural, as the couple we will be staying with are indeed lesbians, and I am so proud of them for being loving parents to the kids and I am also proud of the kids for being so accepting of it. Recently they had a horrible situation where their oldest wasn't allowed to have one of her friends over because her friends parents don't agree with homosexuality, and then told their child not to associate with her friend. I find this to be an absolutely disgusting thing to say to a child, and is just breeding hatefulness!
I am bisexual and I am proud of my sexuality! I will support and fight for those who need it! To me, homosexuality is NOT a sin or wrong or disgusting or anything! It is beautiful and LOVE IS LOVE!
But enough on sexuality. I have said my part.
I am very much looking forward to studying next year. I understand it will be difficult and I just hope that I will be able to get support and help when I am having problems. I have wanted to be a librarian since I was in high school, and now, 4 years later, I am finally taking the step forward! My partner, who I am so proud of, is also looking into doing a course next year. He will be doing disability services. This is very close to his heart as he has been living with a disability for his entire life and he understands what it is like.
I was on a roll and now my brain has suddenly stopped working. I had a distraction and now I think ill go and make fried rice.
