future plans

so I'm thinking about moving to australia for a year =D
wow that sounds so much more ridiculous when i take a second and think about it.
but I'm SERIOUS.
lol did anyone else know that hilltop has a college? Well they DO. lol officially it's called Hilltop International Leadership College. And they offer a degree in worship and creative arts... although since i'm only going for a year i'll just get a certificate. Really the qualifications don't matter because I have no intention of actually using it for anything. I'm still going to go into phsychology once I get back. But I'm getting into psychology because i want to help people, and really what my clients would need is Jesus, right? Sooo... I'd kind of like to perfect my Jesus-imparting skills. And yes I KNOW you don't have to go to australia for a year to do that. While I'm at it, I might as well train to be a pastor. I don't know.
So that's one reason why I want to do this.. another is... I want to LEAVE. I want to get out, I want to see different places and do different things... I could easily stay here in toronto, and settle a little further into my role as a student, sink a little further into my church.... but.... I would never be content without this. I would continually be restless and uneasy, continually trying to stretch myself but being caught by school or other things. I need to do this first.
And if I'm going to go away, and do something random like live in australia for a year.... now is the time to do it, isn't it? Everyone changes their lives after graduation, it's the perfect time really. And I want to do this while I'm relatively free, relatively unattached. Relatively single. lol so now is the perfect time. Especially keeping in mind recent events.. first year is the perfect year to go away... isn't it? Nothing's going to happen this coming year, OBVIOUSLY, and.. realistically... it's unlikely anything would happen the year after. Super-realistically, it's up in the air whether anything's going to happen, ever. UBER-realistically, THAT'S NOT THE FIRST CONSIDERATION. lol God is involved, too.... but really, it's australia. If he doesn't want me to go, he can easily prevent it. And if he does... I could certainly use some help. anyways. I really don't even know if I'm going to follow through with this. I'll apply to normal universities too.
