So I just got back from schoolies, which was nice and relaxing!
I now have 11 days to go, and in between packing and all the rest I have 2 orthodontist appointments, a dentist appointment, a party to organize and go to :), my graduation and several catchups with friends. I know, I know - sucks to be me, right? :P
I am actually really looking forward to packing - it's weirdly one of the exciting bits of traveling for me. In fact when I am done here I am going to go downstairs to find the biggest bag to start packing. :)
Last week I went to my Visa Interview which was fun!!! I had an appointment for 8:15am, but they told us to get there half an hour early to get ready for it. Me and dad sure enjoyed that bit :D
Turns out that there were about 30 other people with that appointment time, who were also told to get there half an hour early - Even though they weren't even open at that time!! They opened at 8!!!
So what was mean to take "about half an hour", ended up taking over 3 hours!!!
I felt more sorry for my lovely dad who had to wait outside for me. I wasn't allowed to take my phone in so
1. I couldn't tell him that I was going to be late, and
2. I couldn't play Cooking Academy on my iPhone :(
Today I went to the shops and bought my twin boys a 'welcome' present!! I got them both remote control cars - but wait theres more. They are cars that can DRIVE ON WALLS OR ON THE ROOF!!! [and the floor - just not carpet] BUT THE WALLS AND THE ROOF!!!!!
I was very excited - I hope they are too. Now for something for the girl. I got her a really cute apron, but when you're 8, that doesn't match well with remote control cars.... any ideas?? Please??
Also for the parents.
It still hasn't sunk in that I am leaving in 11 days.
11 days.
Not even 2 weeks.
Wow... talk soon!!
It's so exciting!!!
ReplyDeleteHmm.. when I was 8 I loved books, but not every 8 year-old does - how about something cool and Australian from National Geographic or something?
ReplyDeleteGood idea!!
ReplyDeleteI ended up getting her [probably not as her only gift] but a set of mirrors in the shape of 3 clouds with an extra mirror in the shape of the word 'dream' which she can place on her wall. So I hope she likes that!
