Sorry for not updating this more often, but things have been getting hectic here considering I leave TOMORROW for Australia.
I’ve been getting a lot of packing done, which I’m about 95% done with at this point. All my clothes are packed and my bags are weighing in under the 50lbs I’m allowed to bring. I still need to pack up my backpack which will be my carry on, but most of that stuff is already together.
It finally hit me the other day that I was actually leaving. I think it was when I stopped working. When I was working, I didn’t have much time to think about leaving, and then when work ended, it meant leaving was coming up soon. I think the biggest shock to me is going to be when school starts next week. Going to Australia is one thing, but I actually have to go to school! It starts so soon that I almost have no summer vacation!
It’s going to be a tough adjustment, but I’m not all that worried. The classes I chose should all be good, and I’m living in an amazing location, so life is pretty good. Even though I’m halfway across the world, I’m still just an email, skype or phone call away. I don’t know if I’d be able to do this in the times before computers. Imagine leaving for 5 months and only talking every so often, and just over the phone.
I’ll certainly have more to write about once I actually get to Sydney. I’ll probably be crazy busy and tired the first few days so I don’t know how much I’ll be able to update this. I’m sure though that once classes start and I settle into a rhythm that I’ll be able to get on here often and keep everyone at home up to date with my life. I’ll probably write an entry on the plane that will sum up more of what I’m doing and why I’m going to Australia.
So for my last entry written on American soil, I’ll talk to everyone when I’m down under.
