7 Days. In 7 days, I will be losing one day of my life. Yes, the 19th of February will not exist as I will be flying into the future and arriving to my new home on the 20th.
Everything I have ever read about Australia is about to come true as I spend the next four months of my life there. I am anxious to learn, and furthermore be immersed into something other than anything else I have ever experienced before. I am probably making this sound a bit more exaggerated than it should be, but to shorten this all up, I am excited.
The past couple weeks have been good to me, and I couldn't be more thankful for the friends and family that have made it that way. But big things are still ahead as I continue to move forward!
Two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to interview with the Kerry Wood Family Foundation for a summer internship. It actually went pretty well, and I am looking forward to hearing from them soon. Kerry Wood was one of my favorite players on the Cubs, and I am excited to potentially have the opportunity to support his foundation this summer.
Two weeks ago I also took myself to see the Hobbit, which was kind of embarrassing because I was the only person watching the movie. As I was leaving the show, I could see all the teenage security kids pointing and laughing as pushed my way through the spinning door. I hung my head low, and sped out of the parking lot in a hurry. However, I had the last laugh. I hope they enjoyed the peanut butter I put under their car door handles. Sucks to suck lol
Well, I also saw "Mama" with my brother, which was pretty good, and have spent a ton of time playing NBA 2k13, which has quickly become my favorite video game.
My friend Drew and I also invented a new sport. It's called "Jeep Boarding!" It involves a jeep, a plastic snowboard, a tow rope, some snow, and an empty forest preserve. Needless to say it was all fun and games until the forest ranger said it was time to leave :( Pictures can be seen at Mike Bruce Instagram! Feel free to follow for a visual journey through Australia!
Last week, I needed to redeem myself from my lonely experience seeing the Hobbit. So, a few of my buddies and I hit up Hooter's for some wings! I ended the night feeling pretty stupid, because our "slow" waitress completely played us all. Not only did she hang out with us the entire time we ate, but she gave some hope. Numbers and Instagram names were left on our receipts, along with generous tips, and that was the last we heard from her. I still had the last laugh tho. I hope she enjoyed the peanut butter under her door handles lol
The next few days will be pretty busy, because I still have a ton to do. Packing, applying for housing next semester, running for Vice President of PRSSA, house sitting. It's gonna be busy but I'm definitively ready for my next adventure!
If you haven't taken a look at my bucket list you should now! Let me know if there is anything you think I should add!
BUCKET LIST READ ME!
Oh. Bad news. Just found out that 50 % of Koalas have chlamydia. Great. Looks like the Aussies are having the last laugh.
