As you can see, my last blog says I posted it today which is true, but it's from November. I had since changed my email address and the old blog account didn't want a bar of it. So here we are on this blog now.

An update since November; I now have only one month and 2 days until I fly out of Sydney International. I depart at 3:40pm, stop over in Kuala Lumpur for a couple of hours at 11pm and then arrive in Narita International at 7:15am the next morning. I'm yet to find out how I'm getting to the actual town I'll be living in.


I attended a second Rotary briefing weekend in Cooma NSW, where we did some presentations and speeches and had our photos for our Rotary Exchange business cards taken. My photo turned out to be terrible, so I had the photo changed. This is now the final product;

Yay for me.

I've slowly been packing up my room into big plastic tubs, seeing as though when I return I'll be heading off to University. Mum gets a bit sooky whenever I remind her that, after this year, I won't be living in this house anymore. I have a big list of things I'll need to pack for this exchange, but I still have a whole lot of shopping to do, for clothes, electronics, things like gloves and socks and "real" shoes... there's alot to be done, and this last month is already picking up speed.

I've also been in contact with my first host family, as well as hearing from teachers from my school, and (i think it's) my second host mother. I'm having my school uniform tailored for me, and it will be ready by the time I arrive. That will definitely be interesting, to see how that turns out...

Okay, this is a long entry. I'll update again after Christmas or New Years or something. :)
