E: Everything is never over
There is always something else somewhere for someone some other time. I finished school almost a week ago. I leave in less than a week. Yet the items of the list of what to do ain’t dropping. Until I have time to elaborate, I’ll briefly list what has been going on since Wednesday.¤ Thursday was spent to get things organized, settle the remaining days of my stay in Melbourne and go to volleyball practice.
¤ Friday was spent in the city, touring Queen Victoria Market, Rialto Tower (its observation deck gives great views – as the office building is the tallest completed one in the southern hemisphere), immigration museum, national gallery and shrine of remembrance. After I returned, I went straight to Focus – the Christian international student group.
¤ My Indian friend Aditi left Australia Sunday. Saturday night we had an amazing last-night get-together in her flat. The whole “family” was there, and we sang, danced, talked, held speeches, told stories, ate, and watched video. We had a napping break from 4am to before 9am, when panckaced breakfast was served. We hung out until she, Aditi, entered the International departure gates.
¤ Yesterday was spent in the Grampians – a pearl of creation with enormous valleys of forests, lakes, hills and waterfalls, that can be consumed from various lookouts.
¤ Today I got some more practical things underway, before I took off to Mount Dandenong with Sam and Anderson – friends from Chisholm – to watch the sunset and the night mode of Melbourne city.
¤ Tomorrow I go on a day tour to Great Ocean Road with Ah’dhu and Anko.
¤ Saturday I have a farewell-party at James’ place.
As you can see, there is a little sign of the doing-everything-before-I-leave syndrome. I’m doing good though, in spite thinking more than often about departure – which brings a no-cool feeling.
