I'm back from America..after a long overnight flight where I slept a bit but not enough, I finally got through to arrivals and just hugged Mum...it's nice to be back with my family :)
I had a brilliant time in America, placement turned out pretty good for the last few days where I got to help on a camp. I actually did work with kids and that's the bit I love and the bit I wasn't getting to do so I'm glad I stuck it out.
The other amazing thing is that I actually just lived away from home for almost 3 weeks :O
Considering a year ago I couldn't even stay a night in Oxford, this is pretty incredible! And I did ok as well...I think I cried once but that's it...and that's amazing for me!
I was with family, I had a comfortable place to chill out, watch tv, people to hang out with...I've realised that if I have that and I can talk to my family regularly (skype is a godsend!) then I'll be ok. I'm starting to realise that moving out properly after university is actually going to be ok :)
In other news: not sure what's happening with my Oxford house for next year...the landlords are selling it and we aren't sure if the new possible owner will want to rent it out or live there themselves. So we're thinking through our options...I can always stay at home....it's weird though, I'd just said that I hoped my placement would be in Oxford so that I could push myself to stay there more and then my house in Oxford is looking dubious, and my placement is probably going to be in South Oxfordshire.
So I'm still trying to work out God's plan here...but I'm ready and willing for whatever comes and I think he will bless me through that.
That's all I think, right now I'm trying to sort out my dissertation and the assignment from my america trip, and holiday club, and social stuff. New Wine is in less than 5 weeks and I'm looking forward to all the things happening between now and then :D
Much love xxx
