It's almost Sydney time!

Well, I just booked 4 nights at Maze Backpacker's on Pitt Street in Sydney. I don't know how long I'll be there as in I might have to stay for a whole week before finding a place, fingers crossed it won't take too long, so 4 nights feels safe. And it's the cheapest I've found -- $26 per night in a female only dorm. I'm excited about that. It'll be nice to try and new backpacker's and find different routes around the city streets. That'll be fun.

Saturday night I'm meeting up with Annie from thebeach and we along with her boyfriend Seb are going to go to the Ice Bar! I just red up on it and they supply coats and gloves and you get a free vodka martini first up. It didn't say how much it all costs but it'll be okay. Yorick and I almost went to one in NZ so it'll be nice to see what we missed.

On Saturday morning I'm hoping there will be new houses I can go and check out and apply for. I need to scan some things in as on the applications I've started for houses online at the very end they get you to attach some documents like your passport or drivers licence or birth certificate. I might do some of that before I head off as I won't have another chance. I'll probably need it. I hope it doesn't take too long for me to get a place. I know I want my own place, and being there to actually inspect the apartments will make a huge difference, so if I get my own place and it's not so great I might not have to be too picky. As long as I can have my own place... I need to get a job straight away soon. And Centrelink. I have to try and swap over from the diploma to the certificate in case I don't get into USYD so I can transfer up. So much to do!

I have started laying out on my bed what I want to take with me. I'm starting with the clothes as that's the easy part. I have a box of things I want to take with me but I also want to take my cutlery and a few pots/pans and kitchen things. I have to make sure it doesn't weigh too much. I didn't have to pay for the flights though so if it does go over weight I'll be paying and it'll definitely be cheaper than a flight so I don't mind. There are two bigger suitcases to choose from and I'll take the little carry-on one I take on short trips. Dad said I can take my laptop in a case and it'll be classed as carry-on but I'd rather not have to carry it ... I only just thought of that.

I'm really looking forward to being in Sydney again. It's ages since I was last there. That was in September. Yonks ago! I love the feel of it and I hope the sense of adventure will help me make the transition.
