Happy Mothers Day!
I have never been much of a blogger but am going to try this. After my first experience abroad and having to repeat stories over 50 times, I figured this time around I could keep my friends and family up to date. I will be in Sydney, Australia for 3 months interning with FarmOnline and their various publications. I am so grateful for this opportunity!
Preparing to go abroad.
As I finish up my final exams for my junior year I am 9 days away from getting on a plane to go Australia. I still have a bit of a checklist to complete (copies of my passport, bank info, any health papers, extra contacts, unlocked phone, etc…) but the one thing I always seem to worry about the most is packing!
My previous experience in Australia was 6 weeks long; I packed enough for about a week with a few extra pairs of shoes and dresses for going out. How do I pack for 3 months? I’m a list maker, so I have been writing everything I think of on my computer so I know I will not forget anything. Even though I do this I still stay up all night before I leave making sure I don’t miss anything.
It is hard thinking about being gone for so long, saying bye to friends and family, but I will return this time in a short 3 months! I am very excited to return to Australia; I have been counting down for months!

Time to keep studying! My next post may be when I am already “down under”!
Cheers!
