Sorry i have been so delinquent in writing. i have honestly not felt like it. a bit too tired. the thoughts about what i wanted to say kept swirling in my head but i just couldn't seem to bring myself to put thought to computer screen. but i have mustered the energy tonight to finally get it done. i'll do this in some installments. this one is about last weekend.
i have been doing a lot of evening and night shifts. they always seem to mess with my head and make me feel very disconnected from everyone. i was doing the 3pm to 1am shift, which meant i was seeing no one, talking to not one of my friends. i hadn't seen my flatmates in over a week. i hadn't even set eyes on my new flatmate. it was so bad that he thought i didn't really exist. neways, in that week my family left as well, which was extremely sad. i had gotten used to them being here. so i was a bit depressed, disconnected and there was more to come. i had a falling out with some friends, 2 key friends in my life, about what i'll leave for another blog. that was the last straw, on the Tuesday i thought to myself. i need to leave, and leave now. of course i couldn't, i still had to work, but i had 3 days off as of that Thursday. so i said, where can i go to get out of the city, that would not be too expensive. and the lord gave it to me..... NEWCASTLE. i called Eric immediately and said, i'm coming and i don't care if ur ready for me....lol
can i tell you that it was just what i needed. it was relaxing, chill, no stress, just beach and friends. i appreciated them and they appreciated my presence...:) Newcastle is a lot smaller than i thought it would be. it is pretty much a beach town. its cool i guess, in that i know that i wouldn't choose to live there myself, but i would go there for mini breaks, beach weekends. one of the most fascinating things i saw was the cargo ships, sometimes as many as 25, lining up on the horizon, waiting to get into the Newcastle inlet to be filled with coal. i was amazed. neways i spent time with Eric and Jawad, chilled at the beach and spent time with God. i felt refreshed.
i got back to sydney, went out to dinner with my friends Sarah and Ainsley and then drinks with the Surgeon...:) it was good to be reminded that i have friends all over and though some friendships may have hit a rough patch and even though i may have been feeling a bit depressed, these friends are there for me. so it was some very good days off. then i went straight into 5 days of nights.......mmmmmm.... that's for the next installment...:)
