The Emotional Sine Wave
Posted 11-02-2008 at 05:49 PM by ajgwa
Afternoon everyone (that is very presumptious isn't it? - might just be me reading this!)
Well i am on D-21 before i head down to the Aussie High Commission and sign the next 3 years of my life away. I have heard that the signs of being a manic depressive are alternating highs and lows of emotion.
which is exactly what is going on with me! I have got leaving parties coming up with friends and family and all sorts. which is very sad. i will miss everyone. my grandad is 90 this year and by some bad planning on my behalf I am gone before his party... still - like the uncle that emigrated to NZ 20 yrs ago - i will be sending a DVD back of my progress!
and then on the other hand i think to myself - i cannot wait to be living in brisbane, surfing and sailing on the weekends and generally having an adventure! whilst it does scare me - it scares me more that i might miss out on a great fun time in a great part of the world!
the trouble is - you can never be sure which part will cause a peak or a trough. going to miss my family massively. but they are planning to come over for 3 months at xmas. good god - that makes me want to get away sooner and enjoy the P&Q!
so there you go - you can see a peak and a trough in there - i have just lost which one is which!
I hope i'm not the only one with these thoughts before things happen. allied are coming in next week to pack my life into boxes, and then it is just me and my bergan for the next 2 months until it all arrives in my new home!
another concern is that maybe i should've chosen NZ, too - i've developed a hankering for NZ cloudy bay sav blanc - can the aussie ones compare?! anyway - 3 weeks to go. i am going to pretend to organise some stuff and see what mischief i can get up to on here! which will probably involve me planning weekend breaks from brissy or which rugby or sailing club i am going to try and join!

hiya
i really enjoyed reading what you had to say and the rollercoaster of a ride which you are undertaking it's quite hard to explain the feeling that you go through on this amazing journey. we emigrated on the 9/08/07 so its been 6mths. we love Brisbane we are on the south east. the day are packers came should of been euphoric but it wasnt it was strange like this is really happening. you willk love it here i am sure of that and you will go through so many emotions that you didnt no yu had but this is Paradise. good luck Pip |
