Coming Home

So it’s 99% certain that I am coming home in September and i’m not all that upset about it to be honest. I mean I could stick it out since I’ll have my money then anyway but to do what? and then have to come home 4 months later anyway and be even more in debt and have no money. Least this way i can use my money to pay off all my debts and have some money behind me in Sydney. Have also decided not to get another car for a couple of years, or if i do it’ll be a crappy one but I don’t really need one in Sydney, it’s just one more expense and i’d rather use that money to travel or put towards starting my own business.

Things I will miss in America:-

  • All my tv shows including True Blood and all the new line ups starting in fall (will have to work out how to download them better this time).
  • Forever 21 and Urban Outfitters
