So its all over, and its been a fast and eventful year.

When I think about how I feel its gone so fast, I only have to think about how much ive managed to do in the time I was in Australia.

I can say ive had no regrets, nothing id change, well maybe expect nearly missing my flight back from Tasmania and having to get a lovely man to take us back rather than $300 for a taxi to the airport!!

I cant really explain how im feeling now as im sitting in Kuala Lumpur waiting for my next flights to London, and then onwards to Glasgow. I was so upset saying bye to people in Adelaide, mostly because I know when I come back to Adelaide, I feel it’ll be like an empty shell, the people that I met and grew so fond of are the ones that made it for me. Luckily the girl I made closest friends with, Claire, lives in Leeds so it’ll be easy enough for us to keep in touch.

As for the experience, I wouldn’t even know where to start to sum it up. I visited all the cities in Australia, difficult to deem a favourite as they are all diverse and different, Perth was definitely high up there, I could imagine living there and working once I qualify. And Adelaide, definitely I place I called home, felt safe and happy there, a small but perfectly set up place – definitely going to miss it. 

The only unfortunate thing that came out as a consequence of this experience is not being able to secure an internship to return to. I wouldn’t trade it as I feel my experience this year is irreplaceable, id only say its unfortunate but something I can live with, im sure ill have plenty time to get something like that once I graduate J

 

Anyhow, ill write again a few weeks after I get home, im interested how im gonna settle back into ‘reality’ not sure I want to find out quite yet!
