Running on 3 hours of sleep today. The only thing that makes this acceptable is that I’m off to the best volunteer job ever!

Ugh I hate my friends sometimes.

Interview in about 2 hours… so nervous! Let’s hope I don’t get lost trying to find this place.

I need to make a doctors appointment for my stupid shin splints… so frustrated! I took 2 weeks off, and when I started running again I took it easy, didn’t push myself, and everything was fine. Then on my 3rd run last week I felt pain again! I could barely walk for a couple days and would randomly get piercing pain while sitting or relaxing. Stupid me decided I would attempt a slow jog on the treadmill today because I hadn’t noticed any pain the past couple days, and as soon as I started I had to stop. It was terrible… 

I hate this :(

Haha I’m doing Canada to aus! Ohh kk, that’s not long at all, thank you! :)

Does anyone know roughly how long it takes for a work visa application to be processed? I’m assuming it’s the same as a passport application, or does it take longer?

So I finally told my boyfriend that I want to stay in Australia until March. He took it the exact way that I thought he would… “I want to, but then school gets put off longer. Three months is plenty of time. How am I going to tell my mom? I just got a job I really wanted, what if I don’t get it back after 6 months? It’s not a no, but I need to think about it.”

I love him and I support him with his job and school, but this trip is pretty much once in a lifetime. Once we get back, we won’t have the chance to travel for a long time… we’ll be too busy with school and life. I don’t want to only go for 3 months and not really experience it, and I don’t want to come back and regret not staying longer. It makes me so frustrated to think that his mom being mad is even a reason… he’s 20 years old and can do what he wants. 

I don’t know what I’m going to do if he says no. I think I would stay without him.

Went for my first run today after taking 2 weeks off to heal! Felt great, now I just have to get my body back into running mode… I hate you shin splints.

Australian music festivals look so much cooler than the ones here… 5 more months!

I wonder how my parents would feel if I just stayed there until March. Actually, it’s not my parents I’m worried about… it’s my boyfriend’s :(
