Post number one. I leave for Sydney in one week and I am almost kind of sort of ready. I'm not packed or anything like that of course. However, I do know where my passport is, I feel like that is the most important part. The goodbyes have begun and really aren't terrible. Luckily I feel like technology makes this world seem a bit smaller and I know that the people I am saying goodbye to will be reading this blog as well as contacting me in whatever way possible. I also know that when I am back in 5 months I will see everyone again. I'm pretty blessed to have such awesome people in my life. I will miss the amazing burrow, it has been such a great house with a fantastic group of girls. I couldn't have asked for a better situation for my last semester in Spokane. Anyway, I may feel differently Monday but right now I am mostly excited for my adventure.
I only have one major worry, that I will not make most of this fantastic opportunity that is given to me. I feel very blessed to be able to spend 5 months in a totally different country and I hope that I am able to make the most of it. I do not want to be on the plane ride home thinking about all the things I didn't do or that I wish I would have made more of my time. My goal is to experience as much of the country as possible and feel like I did everything I possibly could.
Anyway, those are just a few thoughts I have the week before I leave. I suppose maybe I should go start packing and getting ready to go. Wow. Sometimes it is hard to believe I am really going. I can't really be in denial about it anymore though!
