It still hasn't hit...

My time here is running out...and FAST! The strange thing is that it has not even hit me yet that I am in Australia-silly I know, but its true!!!!!!!! I hate thinking about leaving so much. It feels like just yesterday we were all walking around saying "where are you from, where do you go to school?". Now I am having to ask all my phenomenal friends "when are you flying home?". I hate that so much! Time here flew by way too fast, just like everyone told me it would...

Sorry for not blogging for awhile. The last few weeks have been nuts. I went to Surfer's Paradise a few weekends ago and came back and found my computer to have crashed when I was gone. I was heartbroken and thought I lost ALL of my pictures/videos/music/etc. I was so disappointed. I took my computer in and they replaced my hard drive and some how (some HUGE miracle) they were able to retrieve almost everything I had before, including all of my pictures! The technicians working there said they have never seen that happen before and that I was one lucky little girl. I would have to agree with them-I was screaming and shouting and all over the place with excitement! Between my computer crashing and finals being last week I have not really gotten a change to update you all.

School is out here-watch out! I am so glad to be done with classes, as far as I know I did pretty well in all of them.

Slowly but surely I am getting anxious to come home. Between missing graduations, Calli getting her drivers license, Amy/Calli sleepovers, motorcycling with mom/dad- I think I am getting ready to head back home. As much as I absolutely love it here, I do miss some things at home. My bed for example...and Taco Bell...and my puppies....and having a job (more so having money come in)....ALL of the adorable children I get to babysit for....just to name a few :) July 2nd is going to be here so soon! I actually fly out of Australia on the 26th of June but am heading to Hawaii for a few days! I am SO SO pumped!!! Rough life I know....

Tomorrow morning I am heading to Sydney for the night. My friends and I are going to this church called Hillsong. Apparently it is one of the most popular in Australia. I read that on any given weekend over 20,000 people attend! Pretty sweet eh?

Monday night we fly out of Sydney and are heading to the South Island of New Zealand. I am going with my friends Chase, David, Pat, Jill, and Paige. While there we plan on bungy jumping (at the highest one in the world), snowboarding in the mountains, and climb glaciers. I have a hunch it'll be a pretty sweet trip. I get back on the 15th and will be sure to let you all know how it went!

Miss everyone heaps! See you before you know it....

XOXO
