So it's ten or nine days until departure. Lately I've been trying to get my finances straightened out for the trip. And by finances I mean I cleaned out my entire room looking for spare change. I found it. I found $172.26 of it to be exact! I also recently relied on my main source of income over these past years: can and bottle returns. I only managed $19.00 in that venture, but I invested $10 of that into a lottery scratch game and won $30. So how could you really expect me to get a summer job with luck like that? Anyway, I also opened up a bank account at Bank of America today, which should allow me use of their Australian affiliate WestPac's ATM services without incurring a fee. But this is all boring stuff. How about something fun?
5 Things I Look Forward to Doing in Australia
- Witnessing an Australian Rules Football game
- Visiting Uluru (or as the white man calls it "Ayer's Rock")
- Going to the beach in November
- Learning Australian culture and lingo
- Fighting a kangaroo
5 Things I Would Be Looking Forward To Doing In Australia If My Brother Hadn't Made Me Watch The Australian Great White Shark Attack Show On Animal Planet
- Surfing
- Snorkeling
- Scuba Diving
- Swimming
- Anything else that starts with an 'S' and involves the ocean
In all seriousness though, I do think I'll try some of those things. Although maybe I should be more worried about the lethal
box jelly than the sharks.
Australian word of the day: SCRATCHIE
Means: instant win lottery ticket
