I packed all of my stuff tongiht, and I am leaving tommorow to Austria. My mom's making us clean the kitchen, then we're headed off to bed. It's the last time I will clean my kitchen in Canada! Ha! Muahahaha.
I'm really excited to be leaving, but today I've been dealing with some issues about leaving my friends. Today is when everything really started to sink in, and I realized that I would not see my friends for a whole year. That's a big deal!
I just hope that all my friends realize how hard it is for me to leave, but I just have always needed to do something big, so as to see the world. :P
I just really don't want my friends think that this is just easy for met o just pick up and go, because it's not. I have never shed more tears than I have this year. There is nothing more important to me than the people in my life.
Anyways. So I packed two suitcases, my knapsack for teh flight, and also I'm going to TRY and guilt the flight people to let the poor exchange student take her beshouldered guitar onto the flight with her.
Other than that I have no ideas on how I'm going to survive without my guitar! I need that to keep me from getting depressed or something, I don't know.
But anyways, hopefully that can fly with me, and other than that it's all good.
The only other thing that needs to be bought is some maple syrup to give to my host families......but I'll get that tommorow on the way to the airport.
Honestly, right now I'm totally stressing about just what I have gotten myself into, but I'm trying to ignore those thoughts, cause I know they will pass!
THE NEXT TIME I WRITE ON THIS BLOG, I WILL BE IN AUSTRIA!
FOR SHIZZIN REAL!
That;s crazy, I can't even rap my head around that! Finally after all the planning, stressing, running around, I will be on my own in another part of the world.
Pia, Johannes, Maria, and Johannes junior, Here I come!!! YAY!
I love you Canada, I promise that I will do you justice, and be EXTRA patriotic on your behalf!!!!!!!

Surprise Party!?
My best friends Scarlett Raczycki and Rebekah Glendinning threw me a surprise party last week, and I have only got the time to write about it now.
Because there was no way of any of my friends to be assembled together at one time, Scarlett would tell me that one of my surprises were coming, and then one of my friends would walk through the door.
It was the best thing that anyone has ever done for me. To see all of my friends in one place all together, was amazing. Of course not ALL of my friends were there, and some important people who SHOULD have been there, (AKA Nick Avis and Kylie Lovell, Lutzen Reidstra, etc) were unfortunately not there. But despite that, the party was amazing.
I'm so blessed with the best friends in the world, who would take the time to try and surprise me. It was wonderful guys, I couldn't have asked for a better send off.
The first surprise was really hilarious, because it was the first person to show up, and it just so happened to be Derick Murray. Right when he walked through the door, he headed straight to the kitchen, and made me another surprise. Butter Beer. I had always said to my friends that I would love to know what J.K.Rowling wanted her created drink "Butter Beer" to taste like, and SOMEHOW, Derick found the recipe that J.K.Rowling herself had created to her liking, of how she thought it should taste. That made me laugh a lot, and what a thoughtful thing to do. It actually tasted amazing, EXTREMELY sweet, but tasty.
Later in the night, after we had made pizza and done the hokey pokey (and yes, we did in fact all gather in a circle to dance the hokey pokey) I opened some presents.
Not that presents were needed at all, but they were the best, and made me cry. My friends are such generous people! Scarlett got me a painting set, Beks painted a frame with pictures of Me, Scarlett and herself (so pretty beks!), Reuben; a head scratcher (very thoughtful actually, and ended up being the life of the party), candles, and some special crystals and stones that mean a lot to me. Rachel Hearn brought me a CD set all on Irish folk tunes, "So as never to forget my true heritage whilst in Austria". The gifts were so beautiful, thoughtful, and appreciated guys! I will cherish them forever.
But it wasn't even the gifts that were really important to me, it was the fact that I had all my friends there that night, and that I thank Scarlett for, and the people who actually came. It was so amazing.
Like I've said countless times, I am SO LUCKY to have the friends that I do. I wouldn't trade them for the world.
THHHAAANNNKK YOUUU ALLLLLLL! <3
