Approaching Departure

It's getting so close!  I'm excited and nervous and so many things at once.  I can't wait to go and to have all these new experiences, but I'm sad to leave my friends.  I've been staying with V and Michelle and have been having SO much fun with them.  They're just great people and have been awesome hosts and I want to stay on their couch forever.  I'm nervously anticipating that initial week or so of awkwardness that's going to come.  I want to just get to Melbourne and find my groove and skip all that weird move-in stuff where nobody is really themselves.  

AH so much to do before I go, so many people to see, I can't believe it's happening so fast!  More to come....
