I leave this Friday (22nd as the video states!) and things are getting more and more real very quickly. I have successfully made it through my last weekend in Alice Springs, despite the best efforts of my friends to kill me through alcohol poisoning.
I am blessed enough to have amazing friends who thought it would be a good idea to throw a surprise going away party for me and trick me into a slight depression before hand by telling me they were all busy for my last weekend. However the surprise came off brilliantly and I welled up a few tears and peed myself a little with excitement when I saw all of my good friends out supporting me in town.
I received gifts, laughs, awkward stares (from my awesome hat) and a whole lot of free drinks. It's a nice feeling to know how many people want me out of this town and were so happy to see me finally leaving! xD
My beautiful mother filmed the surprise and I am yet to see the video, however I hope to see it and upload it to the blog before I leave so everyone can relive the wonderful moment in time when my face went from looking like a sour cat's bottom to something slightly resembling the Joker off Batman.
I may or may not do another blog entry before I leave, but if I don't, I'm sure everyone will hear from me within the first few weeks of being in England!
Until then,
Bon Voyage!
