30 sleeps and counting...

In exactly 30 sleeps I will be checking-in to my flight in Melbourne and getting ready to fly to London. Eek! Feels like my life is one big countdown at the moment. Here is a current checklist.

  • In 1 sleep, I will be catching a bus to Sydney to get loose and farewell my Sydney friends
  • In 4 sleeps, I will be farewelling two of my closest friends as they go off on a journey to Brussels (after which I will be counting down the sleeps till I can catch up with them in Europe)
  • In 7 sleeps, I will be catching my last taste of salty ocean air and celebrating with friends at a house on the South Coast
  • In 14 sleeps, I will be having a farewell lunch at work
  • In 14 sleeps, I will be having a family dinner with a work colleague to celebrate my scholarship
  • In 15 sleeps, I will be selling everything I own at a garage sale and taking the rest to the tip
  • In 15 sleeps, I will be getting loose in Canberra and catching up with a lot of people for the last time in a while
  • In 16 sleeps, I will be packing up the rest of my stuff, my cat, and probably my scooter and moving it to Albury
  • In 20 sleeps, I will be struggling through my last day of work and leaving Canberra

I can't wait!!!!!
