Well, God has provided again! :) I have made it back to Australia two days ago! It has been good to be back, but surprisingly it was also difficult and the transition has not been the easiest. I think it was hard because I didn't have a chance to process through transition or that there would be transition into the second year of stint. I knew in my head it would be different, but I guess I didn't realize how different it would be.
Since I was able to buy my plane tickets really quickly within leaving, I didn't have a chance to really say good bye or process the fact that I was about to leave the states and not see people again for another year.
Without the process time, it made it a bit more difficult of a transition. I stepped off the plane extremely tired because I couldn't sleep very well and entered into Australia again. Throughout the day, I hit some realities that were hard to process.
This year will be a different staff team, some of my friends won't be here this year, I just left my family and friends from back home, this year will be extremely different from last year. So yeah, after a few reality checks, it was good to take some time to process through everything that would be new with the second year.
After the first day, I have been able to unpack everything, set up the house again, and meet up with a couple students again. It has been really great to see them and talk about how their summers are going.
Tomorrow I fly to our staff conference where all staff members with Campus Crusade for Christ will be and am so excited to see everyone else again and talk about this next year! :)
