I Just Paid For A Surfing Trip?

The idea that I will be leaving the country for Australia is feeling more and more surreal by the day.

Sitting in the leasing office of my apartment complex, signing release of lease forms and such felt like a scene from a strange movie where there's a dead party to symbolize something. (It was a 1950's themed "celebration" in the office, with the five employees and us. The lighting through the large glass windows was bright, yet ominous.)

Regardless, I just paid for a trip to go on a 2 day/2 night surfing trip the same day I get into Australia.

Note: I am not a good swimmer.

Also, I'll be suffering from some serious jet lag. And this picture looks so intimidating:

I can't do that. Also, I hear there are poisonous jellyfish. Ahhhhh.

Well, I'm officially out of my apartment in College Park and I'm back home with the family. It was a great last weekend though. Nice dinner with good friends at Outback (even with the wait) and a nice after-party involving lots of...Rock Band until 2:30 in the morning. Packing wasn't fun, but it's kind of nice to be home for a little while. I watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail with Dad as soon as I got back.

I also need to start planning my layover in San Francisco. I should get on that.

Ok, February 11th. Here I come.
