3 weeks!!

Today marks three weeks until I leave my house and not step back inside for a year. The reality that I will be gone for a year is really sinking in, I will be travelling to the other side of the world to live with people I've never met (but who seem awesome) and will live the dream of being an exchange student. I am so grateful for my parents that they agreed to and paid for me to live my dream and that they are completely supporting.

I have boxed up my room, with the only items left being my clothes and things hanging from my walls. My packing is going well, being me I have sorted out everything I'm taking already, but am now facing the difficult process of cutting it down. Sadly enough the hardest decisions have been my shoes, which I am taking nine pairs and my hair products with crazy hair like mine it's a very hard choice :) But surprisingly when I roll it up and pack everything nicely it all fits but weighs 30kg when its only allowed to weigh 23kg.
