A bunch of waffle.: April 2010

It is now officially our last week in 2204. We paid our last rent yesterday. Now all that's left is to pack up our stuff, clean like crazy, and take our last exams. Molly, Nanae, and I all have an exam Saturday 24 April at 8 am. After Matt and I are flying to Sydney till the 28th then back to Brisbane till 1 May where we then head to New Zealand till 8 May. Then home sweet home. It's still so weird to think that it's almost over! Molly and I finally pulled out our ping pong net and paddles this past week. It's been fun having little ping pong tournaments on our little glass table. We've also been spending a lot of time at the beach lately, even though it's been a little chilly and windy. Gotta soak up the last few days living right across the street from the beach. We're all heading down to Brisbane tonight for an AFL game to watch the Brisbane Lions play. I'm excited since the last footie game we went to was just a scrimmage. This is the real deal in a big stadium and all. I'm sad though cause this is our last night all together in Brisbane with Jamie and Scott. I'm gonna miss those fools. Scott comes to LA the same day Matt and I land so that will be cool/weird to see him in the states. 4 months went SO fast! I really can't even explain how I'm feeling about it all. I don't think it has really hit me yet that we're leaving in less than a month. Weird. Well I can't wait to see everyone! It's gonna be a wonderful reunion :)

Cheers!

I haven't blogged in forever... story of my life. I'm home in a month. Weird. It's very bittersweet. I'm ready to be home, since it's been 3 months- but I don't want to leave. I absolutely love it here and since my family just left I could stay another few months ;). It was lovely to have my parents here! It's been a hard past few weeks so it was comforting to see them. Some things I am looking forward to when I get home are: InNOut, Chipotle, BJ's (particularly the lettuce wraps), Taco Bell, Sweetarts, Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, my friends (obvi), my pup, being able to drive anywhere I want, and last but not least TiVo (aka more than just 3 channels). I feel like a fatty since most of those things on the list are food- but hey, food here is just different! Well, here are some pictures to blog for me. They're more exciting than reading what I have to say anyways. Cheers!
