Preparing for the drought-y country
Preparing for studies in Australia is a real tiring job. Let me tell you why:
1) Farewells with friends and family (Not to say that I don't appreciate it, for I really really am grateful for you friends and family. Just that honestly, after a while, it gets teary...).
2) Buying winter clothes (Suffice to say, my legs are really tired).
3) Family nagging on how to live well in Australia
4) Family nagging on what and how to cook stuff there so to minimize take-out costs
5) Supposed to start packing by now, but Dad still haven't told me which luggage bag I'm going to use, so still a no-go at the moment
6) Thinking of what to pack
7) Worrying of whether the stuff I bring over will be quarantined, taxed or fined
8) Trying to decide how many books to bring over there
9) Trying to gauge how much to spend each week so that by the end of the month I have savings that will cover the costs of my holidaying in that country
10) Trying not to miss everyone too much, really dislike being homesick and am already feeling so.
Yikes!
