My last day in Australia. It's a hard concept to wrap my head around. It's been a great day though. Will and Jo, my 2 best friends here, had their last finals at 8am this morning, so I got up at 7am to have brekkie with them (for the last time!) :( Then I packed a bit more, went to the gym, and showered. At that point they were both back from their exams and it was time to celebrate! I put my last load of washing in and we went to the bottle shop so I could get a bottle of champagne and Will could get coronas. It should be noted that it was supposed to be a themed Mexican day, but I ruined it because I wanted champagne instead of coronas or margaritas. Anyway, we began the drinking at 11:30am--always a sign of a great day!. It was kind of chilly today but the sun made it that perfect temperature. We sat outside and had a picnic which was awesome. Everyone was just out on the oval having a few beers and playing some rugby or soccer or frisbee. We played some frisbee and I climbed a tree. Perfect final afternoon in Australia. Now I'm back in my room, waiting while Will packs a few things before he takes off with his friend who is picking him up for a concert tonight. Jo left about an hour ago for the airport. So basically I will spend tonight alone, in my room, with my stuff all packed up. Very exciting stuff.
It's going to be a long journey back home because I leave for the airport at 8:45 tomorrow, depart at 11am, get into LAX at what will feels like midnight but will be 7am there, then have a near 9 hour layover before my 5 hour flight to DC. I get in just before midnight EST. Oh well, I'm over it. It think I'm just ready to leave. I've had to say goodbye to everyone and it's been really hard. SO I suppose this is my last entry. I might buy access to the WiFi In LA so that I have something to do and maybe I'll post then? We'll see how desperate I get!
