This and That

Excited about going home because:
1. Taco Bell
2. Normal pricing (especially of Tequila)
3. Seeing everyone, yes everyone, you came after Tequila
4. REAL humor. Australians have the most messed up sense of humor ever. This makes watching television (especially the news) VERY painful
5. American TV shows. They are on non-stop here but of course we don't have cable at our house so all we see is the Simpsons.
6. MEXICAN FOOD
7. Guys NOT on steroids.
8. I get to be with people who love America
9. Trips to Michigan, Arizona, Florida, Washington and Oregon
10. Taking classes


Not excited about:
1. Filing for my taxes and Superannuation
2. Job hunting
3. Leaving everyone
4. The plane flights
5. PACKING
6. Getting used to looking the other direction when crossing roads
7. Regaining my drinking composure to the level it was at while I was in college. Get ready Michigan. :) Just kidding....

In the Near Future....

Katie, Jenah and I will be going to Melbourne! WE are going to visit our friend Kate who has been there for about 2 months now. We are also going to rent a car and drive along the Great Ocean Road, which is apparently the thing to do. I don't believe Ill be allowed to take a turn driving. I am not offended in the slightest.

Katie and I have also booked our flight to Cairns! We are going to be there for three days and during that time we plan to go to the Daintree National Park which contains the Cape of Tribulation, the worlds oldest rain forest (yes, older than the Amazon). We are also going to go see the Great Barrier reef and potentially go bungee jumping. Stoked. Our flight gets in from Cairns at about 10:30am on the 21st, which is the day before I fly back to SF (only to get on a plane that same day to fly to AZ) and Katie gets on a plane at 8:00pm the night of the 21st to fly to Christchurch, NZ to go on a tour of the South Island. Lucky!

Since we have all of these trips coming up, and Felix is leaving us, we have decided to give up the apartment and move out next week! This has lead to some painful thoughts:
1. HOSTELS. You know the luck Katie and I have with that...
2. Missing roommates...Felix leaving, Jenah and Chris probably staying in the Pink House again. Katie and I REFUSE to live there again for one night
3. Packing. As you can imagine, Katie and I have gained a decent amount of clothing/shoes while being here. Deciding what to take and what to leave and what to send home will be interesting
4. Sharing bathrooms again with strangers
5. Having to wake up at 530am in a room of SEVEN people to search for clothes to go to work.
...various other things but that's all I can think of at the moment.
AHHHHH.

So...for now, those are the plans :)
