Second Suitcase

Hello All!!

So there are 4 full days left until I depart. I'm actually OK with it. Last week I was really freaking out about it, but as January quickly approaches I'm finding myself very excited for school to start. I've been really focused on cleaning up my room and with that I've actually started filling up my second suitcase. This is because I've been clearing out things from my dresser; so perfumes, creams, and other toiletries. I put off doing this sooner because these are things I use on a daily basis...but with only 4 days left (holy shit!!) I can live with using one perfume as opposed to choosing from 7 lol.

My mom has also been exhibiting "hen-like" behaviour and I can understand it. Seeing my dresser cleared of my daily things has her tearing up (which she is blaming on her cold lol). She's going to really miss me, and I'm going to miss her alot too, but it is what it is, right? I have to go and get an excellent education, and experience things I haven't before.

One of my housemates (Harrison) is already there and he has posted a video of the place and it looks really great! Through facebook I have met two other future classmates. Trung, who is from London, Ontario and is there right now with his family in Sydney. He actually stayed in the house with Harrison in early December when he was looking for a place, and will be staying with us from Jan 4-6 while waiting for his new place to be available. He also has a car so he's kindly offered to drive me to the mall on Jan 4th so I can get my BlackBerry!! Woot woot! I've also "met" Michelle who will be with me on the very long flight (along with 13 other Canadians who will be studying medicine with us!) so that'll be really good. So all I have to do is finish packing. Off to it! :)
