I painted my nails today.

Howdy//hi//hello.

So this evening I found out that I actually do have a place to live while I'm down under! It was a bit intimidating for quite some time there because the original plan was that I would fly into Sydney, train it up to Newcastle, and THEN start looking for housing. Creepy thought for a hometown girl who really really really has enjoyed living in the same house for 20 years of her 20-year life.

I'm calming down about it all. I think I've kind of set a reputation for myself as a worrier and a planner. I would really love to be more spontaneous, but I just love being safe that much. :) Weird concept I know.

Anywho-ha. The countdown now reads 20 days, 19 hours, 37 minutes, and 56 seconds. It's like a wakeup call. I really need to start seeing people before I jet off.

OH and I tried packing today... ha. Hahaha. Hahahahahaha. Ha. Haha. That was fun... needless to say. I'm definitely going to be depending on those vacuum-seal bags that make your clothes flat. All my friends know that I have issues with shirts. Lots and lots of shirts. But I just want to be comfortable. I will be living there for almost 6 months you know. What a weird concept. Yea so I'm totally planning on video-blogging parts of my trip out there, so the world will be able to see my sleep-deprived insanity unfold! It'll be excellent.

TO DO:
Get hiking boots
Get vacuum-seal bags (a lot)
Get wool socks (for hiking boots)
More sunscreen?
BUS PASS! (eep! forgot about that one!)

... I think I'll have to buy a pillow when I'm down there... *sigh* I wish I could bring my snuggie. Who knows, maybe they'll have an Aussie version!
