HHHHOOOOOMMMMMMEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

I cannot express the amount of excitement I feel about going home. I just went out to eat with a friend and poor her had to listen to me going on and on about home. The concept of moving so far away has definitely made me appreciate home much more than I used to. But first let's talk about what I've been up to the past few days.

Saturday I did some last minute shopping with my friend Diksha. We went into the city, did some browsing, found things we couldn't afford to buy, got depressed because we can't afford the awesome shoes we found, had some lunch, and headed home.

Delicious

Street performers are half the reason I love living in a city.

With my excitement about going home I packed a few days early, and was completely packed and ready to go last night. That left all of today for me to wait anxiously with nothing to do. So I headed to Circular Quay to kill some time. The weather was BEAUTIFUL (Finally! It's been raining non-stop lately). It was really sunny and I was able to walk around without a jacket on.


It's 3D :)



This guy is always here...

YAY street performers :)

Later I came back to campus and got all of my enrollment issues figured out, and FINALLY have a timetable for next semester...


The classes should stay set, but the times will probably change before the semester starts in efforts to be in the same tutorials as my friend.

Then, since I've been letting my food stock run low I went out to dinner with Diksha again since she's also leaving soon and has no food

Mmmmmm, It's Time for Thai :)
And now I'm here just chilling, about to try and maybe get some sleep (although I doubt I'll be able to).

I want to bring heaps of stuff back so I'm packing lightly :)
All ready to go.
My flight leaves Sydney at 9:45 am Tuesday morning and I arrive in LA at 6:45 am Tuesday morning. Time change is a funny thing. I have another stop-over in Minneapolis, then I arrive in Moline! From the time I arrive at the Sydney airport (plenty early so I can get through security and make it to my flight in plenty of time) to the time I arrive in Moline I will have spent over 28 hours in airport/on airplanes. It will be so worth it though.

I'm out for now and my next post will probably be from America!!!!

Can't help but get the song in my head..."Gonna go back in time!" You'll have to watch back to the future before returning to Australia. :)

I'm dying to see you. Have a great day of flying!

Letters To My Inspiration

Dad - You have such an incredible respect for everyone and everything in this world. Growing up helping you out with so many different things, both indoors and out, showed me how to go about life treating everything in this world with respect, and that nothing can be taken without giving even more in return. Mom - You always pushed me to do and experience everything I can. Even when I didn't want to try something new, you reminded me there's always something to be gained. You never stopped encouraging me to follow my dreams wherever they may take me, and to never regret where I have been, because EVERYTHING happens for a reason. Josh - You and Mitch have both been in my life for so long I barely remember life before you. I am so lucky to call you my brothers. You, Josh, are the kindest person I know, someone who would truly go out of their way to help any friend or stranger without question. There are not enough people in this world like you. If I could help out even a f...

Welcome to Australia

... Where there's 4957748285943079 different animals that want to kill you. The other night while minding my own business I was so blessed as to see a MASSIVE spider run across the sidewalk. I've been informed it was this... It's called a Huntsman and I've read they can get as large as a dinner plate. You're welcome for this picture by the way. If I had to see one in real life, you can deal with this. Don't worry. This is a good spider that we like to keep around because it is not aggressive to humans and it eats other pesky insects like the thousands of cockroaches that live here. If you somehow do happen to be bitten, the venom will not require you to go to the hospital, just might cause some pain and swelling. They apparently are commonly found in houses. No the real spiders you want to watch out for are the Sydney Funnel Web and the Redback spider (which I will spare you the pictures of). These are highly aggressive and a bite can kill you (if ...

I've decided to hammer down and just do this. So here it is, New Zealand. View from the plane We stayed in Queenstown which is on the South Island. It was probably the most beautiful place I've ever been. Breathtaking views everywhere you went. I don't mean to brag, but this was the view from our Villa we stayed in. We could hear a small waterfall out back too but there was too much foliage to be able to see it. We settled in Sunday(?) afternoon and headed into the town to do some exploring/shopping. Lake Wakatipu. Temperature Ranges from 46-50 year round. People were swimming in it... Supper time rolled around and I honestly can't remember which meal we had that night but I think we ate at this nice place near the lake where I had a delicious pasta with Salmon in it. Dad was also enjoying the local "cuisine." The entire time he was in Australia and New Zealand he made sure to try all new beers each time he had one. This one was pretty aw...
