Two days, 48 hours, 2,880 minutes

Hello all!

We are down to the end of the wait: 2 more days left until I leave for Australia!  Of course, that also means only two more days (less if you count the time I'll have to be at the airport before departure) to buy, organize, and pack everything that I'll need for my month abroad.  The good thing is that there are laundry facilities where I'll be staying, so I'm not bringing a month's worth of clothes along.  The bad, of course, is trying to decide which jeans, shorts, shirts, etc. that I want to wear over and over for a month.  And then there is the problem of space. You get everything ready, and try to put it all in the suitcase only to find that if you want to stay under the weight limitation, you have to take everything out and decide out of that what does not have to go.

Thankfully, all of that is, for the most part, done, which lets me have some time for the fun and more relaxing parts of preparing to go abroad.  And of course, this includes watching the NCAA Division 1 Softball Championship.  Go Sun Devils!  It always feels so surreal to turn on the television and see at least seven girls on the team that I used to play with or against back in high school and club.

Well, that's all for now.  I'm sure I have more to say, but the championship game for ASU and Florida is on, and is distracting me from writing anything else.  Oh, the pictures are from Coral Bay in West Australia, where I'll be spending about two weeks doing field work for the class I'm taking over there.

Ttfn!
