Today I went into the travel agent to get my travel insurance, international student card, YHA membership and to put in a job application. Apparently my eftpos card has a daily limit so I had to go into the Commonwealth Bank and withdrawal over $1000. I'm positive I've never had that much cash in my life. It was a scary twenty metre walk back to the travel agent. So now all I'm waiting on is a potential interview, my cards to get sent out and some information regarding a UK bank account. It's kind of exciting. I'm going through rapidly changing emotional phases at the moment. Sometimes I'm super excited and happy, sometimes I'm terrified and other times, probably most times, I just want to hurry up and leave. I'm so over my job and being here... Also there was a kangaroo at ANU, I was bummed I didn't have my camera and wasn't even going to try taking a distance photo with my phone. Anyway after my trip to campus I got a bus to Woden - southbound buses are far too infrequent. I had to spend nearly an hour waiting for my connecting bus so I got some socks for London and went quill hunting. Unfortunately I could only find a plastic one which seems silly to me. Plastic completely takes away from the cute tradition. Anyway that failed. Once I finally got home my letterbox had a black package stuffed in it. Inside the package were earmuffs I ordered before New Years. I decided I needed something to keep my ears warm when I'm in chilly England (even though it probably won't be all that cold compared to Canberra winters by the time I get there...). I had to get some photos. The quality is hopeless as I was lazy and just used the webcam. But I'm wearing the fabulous Alpha60 pleated scarf Adam got me for my birthday. I'm still contemplating whether to wear it before I leave or save it's public début for London.
I really need to get some fingerless gloves and flannelette pyjamas before I leave...
