It's been a while since I updated (not helped by the fact I forgot my password, duh) and quite a lot has happened.
It definitely hasn't been plain sailing. At this stage I wanted to have more than enough money to go out there and get some bits before I go but it hasn't really worked out like that. There has been some unexpected costs (what idiot gets drunk and loses their whole life..oh yeah that would be me!) and I haven't been able to earn as much as I wanted :(
That said, it is only 7 weeks until I fly out and I honestly can't wait! Starting to think about all the things I need to take with me. Alex has been a lifesaver throughout the whole thing, don't know what I would've done if she hadn't have done it all first and given me so much advice. Can't wait to see her when we both get to Oz! I can tell it is getting close as the mother is starting to panic and has realised I don't really have a plan, i've heard a lot of 'be carefuls' since I got home.
It has been hard saying bye to everyone, i've made some really good friends over the past few years and it isn't easy to say bye when you know you're not going to see people again for a year or two. I know we will stay in touch though, no way are you all getting rid of me that easily ;)
That's all for now,
Luce xx
