A year has past...

Ok so now i really regret not updating my blog often enough while i was on exchange!!!
It has been a year since my last post..and now i have already been back in australia 5 months:O

So let's go on a flash back :3

December last year...ok wow. It was absolutely amazing. The snow had already started and the weather was getting soooo DAMN cold!!! xD 
My first ever Christmas was unforgettable experience and im going back this year to celebrate it again! There was cookie baking....big feasts...playing in the snow...family...love....presents xD I also learnt how to skii! woohoo ^^"
 Hehehe, actually thinking back to all these memories kinda makes me sad because, i really miss the times of being an exchange student. :( Everything feels different now...i feel like i've experienced so much yet not enough! 

Hmm in february school holidays, my family took me camping from north of italy to south of france, paris, germany then back to home sweet home austria :3 THAT WAS SO EPIC!!!! 
We actually went to camping sites and slept in tents and sleeping bags. hahahaha 
I am really lucky to have had the opportunity to see all those places :) 
We went swimming in the sea, ate lots of baguette xD, went to disneyland paris, walked up the eiffel tower, walker up the arc de triomphe, visited the sacre coeur in moonlight, ate traditional bavarian food. :') If i could, i would definitely do this all over again!!

School in Austria continued to be normal....so not much to write about that. -__-"

Normal weekends were spent...going to the cinema, chilling at the arcade, playing billiards, going to a bar, sleeping over friends houses. Well, it was normal ^^ haha
Although mostly people spoke to me in ENGLISH so >.> yeah you can imagine...my german speaking skills are still dodgy. 

In june, my family took me camping once again. But this time to Croatia!!! I seriously loved that place so much. It was the BEST! We went swimming in the sea in the day time...sun baked...relaxed in the tent...went for walks along the seaside at night....and ate at restaurants every night xD hahaha man.....good times good times.

I think that if you've never had this experience of being an exchange student you would never understand it. Its...hard to describe...and in all honesty, no one wants to really hear about your exchange unless theyve experienced it or are going to experience it themself. 

And be prepared...because once you've returned, things will be different. My biggest issue was with my friends back in Australia. Everything felt distant...we weren't BFF's anymore..people changed. i changed. and i really wish that i prepared myself better for the difference. *sigh*
