Many a times, I find myself wondering if I am truly sorting out my life and following a dream or just too lazy to commit and simply making a total mess of the comfy life I had back then. I'm 32 (this is the first time I've admitted my age on my blog!) and acting 18. Is this right? Do I really need to act my age? I guess the important thing is acting sensibly.
Just back from an 11 day trip north covering Brisbane, Fraser Island, the Whitsundays, Carnarvon Gorge and the Gold Coast with two housemates (Florian and Andreas) and a housemate's friend (Andrea). I did have a fun time usually but am I being childish to have gotten a bit miffed they spoke German most of the time? I'm figuring it's because I'm a nosey, busy-body and feel the need to know everyone's business that my emotions got so caught up. In previous travel experiences, the foreign language was typically that of the native country and I saw lack of understanding was part of the travel experience. Nonetheless, I should have had the emotional intelligence to understand that they gained their meaningful conversations in German rather than English. I did get a bit of German schooling in as well. Hopefully I will still remember it in 10 years when I finally get my ass over there. I guess I got used to making reflections during the trip but couldn't due to the limit in conversations. Nevertheless, I got to do everything I wanted to do anyways. Every moment I spend here makes me a bit more local. I love being more local -- or is it loco??
Brian, you're going to get such a kick of scuba diving! We need to do the next one together!

There's nothing wrong with not acting your age; and such a label can only be justified if you stereotype 32 yr olds as boring office bums - dressing your age however is a different thing; did you see Elle McPhearson's minidress at that event last week...eeegh :).
Always live your dream - Aaron and I are thinking of doing holiday courses at NIDA in the hols and perhaps auditioning to study there once we have our law degrees: my dad will freak, but why not eh?
:D stay happy!
