Well, time has passed quickly and I'm on my way to Australia this Wednesday afternoon!

The following note on my ticket itinerary is slightly depressing: This flight arrives two days later.

I have rarely been less organized for a trip, but since it's my second (or third) home, that doesn't stress me out. I'll be online fairly often throughout my stay and really only have three goals:
- get substantial research done for my senior history paper
- spend time with friends I haven't seen in too long
- obtain more Marmite, Bix, and Tim Tams.
