So today I am exactly 5 weeks away from leaving for Australia. I decided to start a blog, because I feel like it will be easier to communicate with every one back home if I just have one common place to share what is going on. This way I can also put up pictures and not have to worry about sending them in an email.
I need to think of a list of stuff to bring with me.
I know I need new face wash, lotion, and mascara, because apparently all of that stuff is really expensive over there.
I also need a list of things that I need to do before I leave. Such as;
Buy new running sneakers
Set up a Bank of America account (Apparently thats the good bank over there, strange)
Cancel my cell phone plan
Cancel my car insurance
Buy a wet suit or surf guard top, because I know its not going to be exactly warm enough to swim, but I am sure that I wil be going in the ocean any way.
Who knows what is going on with my financial aid. It is so annoying! I just want to know if I will have my loans or not!
Things you may want to know
I leave from JFK on Thursday June 11th at 7 p.m. and arrive in Brisbane on Saturday June 13th at 11 a.m.
The first two weeks we take a cool class about Australia to learn about their culture and what not.
Then we go on a two week trip up the east coast and then south through the outback.
Then I will be teaching math at Kawana Waters State College for nine weeks.
And finally for the last two weeks I will be staying with Grant ( a good friend of Uncle Jimmy) who lives down in Sydney. I just want to explore as much as possible!
I am nervous, but I know it is going to be amazing. Because honestly how could it not be!!!
If you want to see where I am living on like google maps, type in Newport Apartments, Mooloolaba, Australia.
Cant wait
