the one year

yellow!

iam been neglecting this blog like someone that neglects something very badly..
after multiple requests i feel more that obliged to share whats been happening here

so
- PhD is doing alright i guess..the one year completion requires to write a document with a literature review and a description of whats been doing so far..so i spent a lot of time doing that as well as doing a presentation that ill do in the beginning of next year
- to make a little bit of extra cash i vigilate exams during two weeks..it is probably the easiest job in the world and it doesnt pay that bad! so it is a good help to pay for those expensive flights
- last month i went camping with the male population from church...we went to stradbroke island and camp right in the sand , 40 meters from the water! the spot was amazing..food was awesome..surf was alright..weather was not great..sitting by the fire with a view to the ocean made everything just awesome!
here is a video..this is how you get to the camping spots..

also went to a mumford and sons concert! was good..but i guess i was expecting more..more crazy folk! it continues to amaze me though how they can produce that sound most of the times without a drumkit..just the guitar, bass and banjo











also was responsible to film a wedding by myself..steve..the guy who basically started this filming stuff was the best man at the wedding and couldnt of course film. so i made some money and had a great time...just waiting for steve to edit it and then ill share here!

-  last weekend went camping with the young adults from church..such a good time! the preacher was really challenging and it was another good chance to get to know people a little bit better..it is crazy that a whole year has passed and looking back to this camp last year where i didnt knew anyone!
some videos of the waterfalls near the camp..and yes..that is me jumping! ( if you are an aussie this will not be very impressive-tss my sister already did a backflip from here) if you know me..you know how i usually dont do this kind of stuff..but i had to do it..

- and very soon iam moving out of this place! the owners want to rent this to a family so they will give us the boot! but it is amazing how the Lord God has been good once more..basically i always wanted to move close to the beach but this house is close to the uni, has laundry and washing machine and it is very comfortable specially now that i have a massive room with aircon..also i didnt knew anyone to move with so i was just waiting..the fact that my house mates are all moving next year didnt help with me wanting to stay here..two weekends ago i met a dude at church than wanted to find a place..but i was still hesitating because it would be risky..i mean i would loss the chance to stay in this place and signing a lease means dealing with a lot of money..but in this hesitation i found today that no matter what i gotta move..so it is def a confirmation that well..gotta make the effort to live close to the ocean!

-  in two weeks i will be home! Christmas with the family..seemed so far away last year..so close now!
