G'DAY MATE! yes that was the start to the e-mail I just got from Chay and Antoinette- our orientation leaders. They wanted to relieve us of any travel quarries that we might have and remind us to bring our jumpers because it is chilly. Wow- it has been a super busy week. Tomorrow- AUSTRALIAAAA. I can't even describe my excitement. I have way to much luggage, but o well. I just need to pack my backpack and I am complete :) Today I am going to say lots of goodbyes and have a delic dinner with my mom and then head to the airport in the morn. It is a 26 hour travel time... a little insane. The time difference (14 hours) is rough but I am sure I will be fine. My plan- well I leave LAX at 9:30 pm for a 16 hour flight. I am going to watch 4 movies bringing me to 8 hours- take my pill and sleep the next 8 hours (australian night). Arrive in australia well rested and ready for an amazing trip. Everyone have an amazing summer- I will try to keep this updated with all sorts of stories and pictures. I feel very blessed to be able to go on this trip. I can bbm and e-mail for free! Aticki@umich.edu- it will come straight to my phone. Also skype and ichat of course..but it may be hard to coordinate the time difference. LOVEEEEE
