I have officially finished the first semester of my junior (academic) year. The assignments and finals that have occupied the last week and a half have all been completed. Ten full days left in Australia and eight until my 20th birthday. Hopefully that helps you get an idea of where I'm at right now.
This Saturday our wonderful Mother Duck (Ann) will be hosting a farewell party at a fancy Italian restaurant. Thanks in advance Dickinson. Until then I am will be trying my best to see any of Brisbane that I may have missed, seeing if I can manage a bit of a tan, and getting in some last minute shopping. Monday, the 15th, I will be embarking on my final journey to Melbourne with Megan, Liz, Phil, and Taylor and visiting my friend Jordan from camp! Some of our plans include traveling the great ocean road and seeing the twelve apostles, soaking in the culture of a fantastic city, and celebrating the end of a wonderful semester. The day following our return to Brisbane involves celebrating a very special day on which both myself and Terri Soifer were born.
On the Saturday before we leave, my friends and I have decided to have a barbecue in the traditional Australian tradition. I will finally taste kangaroo and enjoy my last day to drink legally for another year with some aussie brews. To top the day off, Liz and I will be going to watch the next installment of Harry Potter. Feverish excitement begins...now.
I realize this is one of my shorter posts, but that's all I got. Hope you're excited to see me, because I'm gonna need some big hugs to get over saying goodbye to Australia and the wonderful people who live here.
