The Day Before

Why does the day before you leave somewhere have to suck so bad? With all the packing, fretting over forgetting stuff, shopping, and making sure you're ready, you really don't have time to just relax and enjoy your last day wherever you are. I'm sure tomorrow will be just the same with all the nervousness, but at least you get to board that plane and say, "Oh well, it's too late now." Bottom line is that it's hard to fit 5 months of your life into 2 suitcases, especially if you're trying to leave room in the suitcases for souvenirs.

Nonetheless, I leave tomorrow at 4:50PM out of Cincinnati and fly to Los Angeles arriving at 6:45PM. Then, I fly out of Los Angeles at 11:50PM and arrive in Brisbane at 7:45AM Thursday Australian time. Customs time...yay!! I leave Brisbane at 9:45AM and arrive in Cairns at 12:05PM. Then I finally get to enjoy Australia in my AustraLearn program introduction.

Then on Sunday, I get to fly out of Cairns at 9:50AM and arrive in Sydney at 1:45PM where I finally get to find out where exactly I'm living and see my uni for the first time.

I may not be able to update this blog before Sunday depending on whether the place we are staying at for the Australearn intorduction has internet or not. I've heard the place is a dump, so don't get your hopes up.

Well, the packing is calling my name again, darned suitcases, so I should probably get back to that.
