2 days until I go!!!!!!!!!

5 days til I leave!!!

I had my going away party on Friday night and am starting to say my goodbyes to people!!! The picture above is me with the majority of my siblings, minus three. I am very exited, however I am starting to get a little bit emotional and have to keep telling myself that it's only gonna be for 3 months! Had a lovely lunch with mark, bek and abby today! oh and james too. :) I have my french exam tomorrow which I'm not enthusiastic about at all, but it shouldn't be too hard.

But it was so great to catch up with everyone before I leave and it was a lot of fun having all the people i love around me eating and drinking and talking and playing the nintendo wii. Here are a few more photos






So now all I have to do is pack. Mum and I did some last minute shopping on thursday and I got things like quick dry travel pants etc, some decent shoes, powerpoint plugs etc...

And i leave saturday. so if you wanna coem to the airport, let me know and i'll give you the time.

lots of love

16 days to go....

so 16 days to go and getting VERY VERY excited...but sad too coz I'm going to miss my family and James a lot! James and my Grandma are plotting together to steal and burn my passport so that I can't go (jokingly of course)...

I just found out last night that I won a scholarship from the Arab Chamber of Commerce Council for $1000 towards my trip, so I'm very very blessed!

I had two injections today too. Hep A, typhoid and some meningococcal one... i still have to get TB and polio. I have also stocked up on medication that I'm going to need over there, so I practically had to rob a bank before I went to the chemist this morning.

Mum found two things that i desperately needed before I went away... a snow jacket, and a backpack. And beig the awesome mother that she is, she manged to get both things significantly marked down in price.






I have also been shopping for some aussie souvenirs to give to the people I'll meet over in Jordan.

so other than finishing off an essay, doing my french oral, taking my french exam, packing and organising my friend Molly, :), I have not much else to do other than hop on the plane and go.

Keep you posted
