3 days:.

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

It’s getting down to the last couple of days and I still have so much to do. I haven’t even began packing and there are a few people I still want to hangout with. My going away party yesterday was great. It was wonderful to have so many great people all in one place and I am definitely realizing that I will miss these people. But I am also going to meet many new friends and have so many great experiences that there is no reason to be sad! Plus, there is always skype and free internet calling ;)

Today, my family and I are having a family day and we are going out to some lake to BBQ, play games and have a good time. It should be great. I also gotta go to Blockbuster get my last free rentals and maybe tonight I will go see Cherish and Isaiah. But for now I am going to. Pictures from yesterday will be posted in a bit :)

Wish me luck with packing. Keep smiling and stay positive.

Oh my goodness! It’s coming to soon and I am so excited! I am starting to think of all the things I am going to have to pack. This will be rougher than I thought since I can only take 2 bags. I have been trying to find some images of the place I am going to live and I will have a small idea of what it will actually look like! A coworker gave me some small tips for moving in. Things like checking if everything is there, etc. I still need to contact the school for the pick up service they offer!

Other than that I put in my 2 week notices at work which means this is all actually going to happen. I still can’t quite believe it. I don’t think I will till I am actually on the plane. I am trying to do lots of photoshoots before I leave and hangout with friends. I am gonna miss my friends. But, there is always skype and making new friends :) I need to start working out before I go also. Ahh so much to do, so little time ;)

I also want to put in a little note that I think it is fantastic that my mom set up three little clocks with times for Australia, Germany and here. It’s cool!

I did get into the Australia Now class though and I am excited. I have to contact some department though for a timetable which I guess means schedule but I am not sure. After talking on the phone with a counselor I feel much better about understanding the people too. The lady from the housing was nice but had a tough accent to understand. It will definitely be a learning process. 

Other than that I got all my flight info. The airline won’t give me exit seats because they don’t have a photo of me on file so I got all window seats. This should be fun. I hope I have someone nice sitting next to me ;) Also, the economy class does not have a power outlet and I think I am going to just take a sleeping pill and pass out! 

But for now I am going to work on cleaning my room, getting my website finished, filling out an application for blogging on PNCA and getting ready for work. And eat some food :) I hope they have good food in Australia. And I wonder if they have a German Store…

Keep positive and keep smiling
