'Twas the night before Australia and all through the house no creature was stirring ... Except for me of course! Between the last minute packing and the excitement, I can't sleep!
As I began to finish my packing and try to wrap my brain around the fact that tomorrow I will actually be on my way to the land down under, I spent time thinking about what it is that I want to experience during my time there. What things am I going to learn? What experiences will I have that will forever change the course of my life?
This past week while I was at work, I was talking to a customer who had a similar experience. Although she didn't go to the same country nor did she go to student teach, she did go at a time in her life when she was starting over, as I will do shortly after my graduation and return to America. I can not wait to see how I will change and how my appreciation for diversity of culture and life it self will develop.

I HATE Packing!
Packing, for a weekend, is such a daunting task let alone 5 weeks in a completely different country! Below you can see my mountain of clothes that are destined for the suitcase.
I was also out running some errands and picking up things for my trip and I stumbled across this Australian Gold sunscreen ... I bought some because I felt that it was meant to be! I also bought some sunscreen with some real SPF in it too - to appease my worried mother.
I am getting more and more excited as the days get closer! Only 10 left!!! Almost to single digits! My to-do list is also growing by the minute!! So that is all for now!

Preparations for Australia
March 13, 2013
Today, I received my home stay and teaching placements for my student teaching experience in Australia. I was able to contact both my mentor teacher and my host family so that I can begin to get to know them. I am super excited about my upcoming experience. I can't wait to continue to build on and further my teaching strategies and experiences as well as enjoy some personal traveling and fun while I am abroad.
