Wow, just two days to go.
Needless to say, I'm packed and ready.
To be honest, I'm more scared of spending the last day with my family and friends rather than actually going... it's strange. Maybe I'm scared of the idea of knowing that this is going to be the last time I'll see any of them this year.
Ten months... everyone tells me that that is a long time, but to be honest it's not really, at all. We see numerous months in our lives, just ten of them is but a mere fraction of our full life. Isn't it strange, so many months and these particular ten are going to be some of the most important months of my life. By the tenth month, I know I'll feel as if it's only the 3rd month or something.
I'm obsessed with the song "Flashing Lights" by Kanye West. Usually, I'm not into that kind of music (rock girl to the core!) but for some reason I really like this song. The video is pretty peculiar too; for some reason whenever I watch it I get this sense that one day I'm going to make movies and videos just like that. It's like looking into a mirror of my future works. An awkward but interesting feeling.
Well, tomorrow is my last day in Australia. Well, technically, my last day in Sydney... but still.
I'm going to miss you all.
and note to self : don't forget your pin number!
