So its getting down to the wire here, the count down is now in the single digits! Can
you believe it? Because it does
NOT feel real to me yet. Just 9 days until I embark on this 5 month journey to the gold coast, to study, experience the world, new cultures and have the time of my life…
but mostly have the time of my life.
For the people that know me personally, this past year has been one of the most trying times of my life, but with the support of my friends and family, the turmoil is behind and I can move forward with the confidence to take on this trip without the safety nets I have grown so used to at UNH. I look forward to putting myself out of my comfort zone and meeting as many people as I can while in AUS. I will keep my blog posts short and sweet! Just enough to keep you guys up to date on the newest adventure!
Today my best friend Chelsea came over to help me start packing. This task has been looming over my head for the past few months now. Let me tell you… I'm not what you would call an "organized person" I'm the type of person who goes on vacation and forgets to pack shirts… literally everything but shirts… (its happened before.. York Beach Maine, 2009)
Not my finest hour, but my best friends learned made a packing list for all future trips I went on after that fiasco. With her help I managed to get a good chunk of my packing done, which is a
huge weight lifted off my shoulders, I am very pleased with our progress. I will be posting updates on how the packing is going throughout the next couple of days, because I'm sure it won't always go as smoothly as today did. Keep in mind that I have only
1 checked bag UNDER
50 lbs to pack for
5 months, living on the other side of the world!…. wish me luck, because I'm going to need it!
