Never, EVER Add Up Your Expenses

$9,861

The calculator hates me.. Or maybe my bank account. Either way, both are looking pretty sad right now. Lesson #129381 I've learned about getting ready to study abroad, don't add up all of your costs after you've paid them. It's done and paid for, so why did I feel the need to do the math? Because I'm an idiot and wanted to stress myself out apparently. So take my advice folks. When studying abroad, pay for it and move on, because when you see this view, it will all be worth it.

The Final Week

Well folks, it's down to eight days. I've been pretty calm up until now, but last night I had a minor panic attack. All the things I use are American products. My shampoo. My toothpaste. My underwear. My tampons (sorry guys!). What if they don't have what I want in Melbourne? Well this idea sparked a pretty ridiculous shopping spree.. I have enough tampons for 6 months. I kid you not (sorry again guys!). I went crazy at Victoria's Secret buying underwear, because there isn't one Down Under (no pun intended). This whole thing is rather irrational, but heyy, I've never left the country y'all!

The good news is, my passport is HERE! And I turned in my pre departure paper. All I have left is a huge to do list and to get on the airplane. 

8 days!
