Long Time, No Talk

I can't believe that it has been almost a month since I last updated. I know I promised to update more frequently than this, but life has been very hectic this past semester.
Anyway, so much has happened since the last post. I had a great Thanksgiving/Birthday Celebration and of got lots of cool stuff!
My Birthday is tomorrow and seeing that I am going to Australia and that it is the big 2 1 I got some interesting gifts and thoughtful celebratory gestures. On Thanksgiving day my Mom surprised me with a bottle of good Champagne, M&M's wrapped in tool inside of a plastic up. They were SWEET.
Then on Saturday while celebrating with the other side of the family I got another bottle of good Champagne and cookie cake!
Thanks to my parents for the sweet Australia gifts that included a bottle of Australian wine (put in the bag upside down, courtesy of my father :-) ), and a count down to Australia calendar that starts on December 11th. I also got Australia for Dummies with Australian money used as book marks. Then last but not least, an empty box provided by my cousin. Don't worry It had a promise of a combined Birthday/Christmas gift to be given on Christmas.

Planing updates:

I'm back at school and continuing to get things set for leaving on January 4th. Right now the count down is at about 31 days. I have a call into AustraLean for a question regarding my Visa but when they call me back I can get going on that.

I am attending a meeting tomorrow afternoon with all the other students that are planning to study abroad in the spring. They said that it will be a short get together to make sure we have all the necessary forms filled out.
