The Night Before

It is the 20th of January 2012, which means it is the night before I leave to live in a strange country for a year. I don't really know how I am feeling right now, I am excited, nervous but at the same time sad to be leaving all my family and friends behind. I have been busy catching up with everyone before I leave, I had a going away party last night and it was really good to say bye to all my family and friends. I have finished packing and everything is ready to go. My flight leaves at 5:00 PM, I fly from Melbourne to Singapore, to London, to Paris! My host family is meeting me at the airport, and my host sister said I don't have to start school until I feel ready, but I think I will go as soon as I can. I am currently sleeping in my bed with my dog for the last time in 2012. I will keep posted when I arrive in Lille!
