Good morning, Vancouver, and good night

Click for a larger view! And to find the airplane underneath the moon!

Stayed up for the sunrise yesterday. I actually haven't even slept yet since, and it's been almost thirty hours in total. This past week has been so hectic. I didn't give myself enough breathing room from one activity to the next. It's been really nice seeing everyone before I leave, but all this running around has left me so tired that I can't even sleep... At least I said no when I knew I couldn't do something. (Sorry KT & Flowers. I promise you delectable vegan baked goods when I return ♥)

When I was admiring the sunrise, I was about to walk away when I noticed an airplane taking off. It was a pretty beautiful moment. I'm not going to say that it finally hit me that I was going to leave the next day, but the feeling of anxiety did grow stronger.

I'm still not excited. I'm still only just scared out of my mind.

"Are you excited?"

I wouldn't call this excited. I'm scared more than anything. I don't know what to expect.

And honestly? The biggest thing on my mind right now is how I haven't started packing yet and how I still have to clean my room. Seriously, of all the shit going on in my life that is currently my biggest worry. As it should be, it's a fucking disaster zone.

A part of me wishes I hadn't told so many people about my trip just so it'd be easier to back out and cancel my flight :P I don't know if I actually would but that's how I'm feeling right now. I think it's mostly because I feel so unprepared, but this is coming from someone whose life is defined by spontaneity and does everything on an impulse.

Anyway, welcome to my travel blog where I will update about my five months (pending) in Australia. If you are new here and if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to leave a comment (or anything remarkably witty to say, like: OMG SOOOO COOOOOL.) If you are a frequent reader, a "Bookmark" button should be located in middle of your Internet browser's menu bar for simple access to this fantastic blog, which is provided for free by some really cool hippies. Take some time to read through the safety precautions located at the bottom of this blog post, grab a soy latte, fasten your seat belt, and enjoy the vicarious ride :)

Read this before I talk too much:
I promise to all my teachers that are reading this to not swear so fucking much (haw haw), but if I get too excited about something I hope you'll understand! A 12-year-old looking girl like me? Vulgar language? NEVER!!! (100% of my friends are rolling their eyes at that.) But I definitely will keep this Safe For Work, so that you can read this while your class writes about a journal topic that they think is for marks, but isn't really.

Now that I think about it though, I don't know how this could even get N(ot)SFW to begin with....

TALKING TOO MUCH. Enjoy! :)
