The Long Travel Ahead

    So I am leaving the country today!!  It still has not sunk into me that I am going to be gone for ten long months.  First immpressions of my new family are good.  They seem like great people and I think I will get along with them very well.  I finally said my last good byes to my friends and I am packed.  Now all there is left to do is get on the plane and fly away.  I am excited but also annoyed about this orientation that I am going to.  It will be great to go explore Sydney with all the other exchange students from around the world but I also wanted to feel a culture shock and learn everything from personal experience.  This first days should be a blast.  I hope I get to go inside the Sydney Opera House!
