Roadtrippin'

So I finished up with my independent travels all over north Queensland. I really had a great time and enjoyed the company of myself. I had a great time up in Port Douglas and Cairns, but the weather ended up being completely awful the whole time. Womp. All was well this week, I knocked out my last exam tonight and will be on the way back to the USA in an hour. I've decided to just not go to sleep considering my sleeping pattern is going to be all messed up over the next couple days anyhow. Lauren gave me Jet-Lag pills to cope with it on the plane ride home. They looked so sketch at first cause they were just in some white box? But, it's all natural, fine ingredients. So, we'll see how I go with those. Apparently they work, we shall see!! I spent my last night at the Tav saying final farewell's to everyone I recognized there. Today was a little emotional, needless to say I'm horrible with goodbyes. I actually took it all pretty well. Quite surprisingly. I know that these folks will be in the States with me and I find that comforting. So, that made it easier. I don't know, I don't really know what to feel right now. I sit here trying to kill an hour so I don't fall asleep. Never, haha, never would that ever happen though. I'm way to excited to get a move on with this journey. It's just been talked about for so long. I've been counting down for quite a bit. I'm just really ready to see my boyfriend at this point. Never will I ever do long distance ever again. It's very hard, but we've done it before so we sort of knew what to expect. It's been very different though dealing with a relationship overseas. We did a great job and I truly believe it has made us a million times stronger. I know we can get through anything. What a haul!! I've really enjoyed this experience. I can't say enough good things about it and I truly encourage any of you reading this to go submerge yourself. Do what you dream of and make those dreams reality. Nothing is impossible! I've learned a great deal over the course of five months away. I really have learned a lot about myself and what's important to me. What a rewarding process this has been. I really miss the States though, I could never live here forever. Maybe for a little bit... with Ryan. Haha. I will be later posting the pros and cons about Australia. I just can't right now though, it's time to get a move on! BACK TO THE USA I COME!!!!!! :D
