life goes on

It's been a bit of a '2015' weekend. Extreme highs and lows. And crying.

Highlights

• Met the delightful Nashrah who wrote to me last year after reading my blog. I was so touched and humbled to receive her message. We bonded immediately over our love of words and similar outlook on life xoxoxo She is simply wonderful!!!
• Saw Benjamin Law (fourth time!) and Michelle Law speak about growing up Chinese in Australia, writing about family, racism, and diversity in the media.
• Booked flights to Europe!!!!!!!!!!

Lowlights

• Paid MUCH more than I should have for flights. Lesson.
• Missing ex-colleagues and feeling nervous about starting a new job tomorrow.
• Stressing (somewhat) about festival-planning, housing and holiday-planning.

.....

On the plus side, I have the triple j Hottest 100 countdown to look forward to on Tuesday.
