A hot day. But not too bad:)

Gerard asked me a weird question in class today. Then again he always is kind of random. Maybe cos we were talking about pregnant women in class. He asked me if I would want to have children next time..Haha yeah I guess every girl thinks about family and children but its a scary thought. Quite excited for my sister of course:) She's gonna make a great mom:) kinda funny to imagine chris as a dad..but I know lucas will be really lucky to have parents like them:)

A friend was talking to me tonight about how she felt like she didn't have anyone to hold on to here in australia. She's an international student like me..guess its just natural to think that way when you're so far from home..and she's even further from home than me. She said she knows she has friends here who care for her and will help her if she has problems, but she wishes she had a friend who would care even without her telling the person she had a problem. Like the person would truly want to know about her how her day went and how she felt about doing everyday things. I guess I understood where she was coming from..here in australia, asking "how's your day?" just becomes a way of saying "hello"..Its like the person doesn't really want to know how your day went, but its just a form of greeting..but I suppose it is a good conversation starter..but its hard to find people who would ask you how's your day and really mean it..

At times I feel antisocial at college cos I feel like I'm putting up a fake front to so many of the people here..Of course there are friends I feel free to be myself around but its just exhuasting being friendly and polite and making small talk all the time. Haha not that I'm unfriendly and inpolite. Just that with people who really know me I feel like I'm more able to put out my thoughts to them without feeling like I'm imposing on them cos I know they really care.

But I know I'm really lucky to have the people in my life. My friends here. My friends back home. My family back home. My friend told me tonight she always imagined herself having a sister. :) Yes its true. Having a sister is a wonderful thing:)

Bernie talked about love tonight in bible study. "Love is the fundamental vocation of being human." Love comes in so many forms. So many that we often confuse one form with another. But yep we were made to love:) and we live to love:) I love the people in my life!:)

Feel better soon:) Good night everyone.
