Leaving the 'Berra

This week has seen a dramatic change in my attitude towards leaving. Up until this point, I've been so busy organising university places, and visa applications, and flights, and leave and luggage and all the multitude of other things that I thought I would never get together. I've passed the time daydreaming about what my trip will be like, and cursing how slow the time is passing and the monotonous waiting for things to happen. But this week, I've started noticing the things that I will be leaving. This week has been full of things that I've done 'for the last time' (must remember that I'm not dying, and will return to Canberra/Australia in just over a year), and people I'm going to miss.
