I packed all day!! Today is my last full day in Australia---and its so sad!
I started today with an Insanity Max Plyometric Circuit with Colin---it kicked my butt for sure but was a great workout!
Today was the last meal together and it was a pancake brunch! We had mounds and mounds of pancakes for the students along with chocolate chips, peanut butter, syrup, cinnamon apples---mmm delicious! Once breakfat was over, it was time to pack, pack, pack! I had to move my things around a lot to get them situated and also leave a lot of stuff here as well because I just didn't have room for it!
I went off to Ballina with Yvonne (sweet lady who watches camp and whose house is right at the lake) to get some last minute things like starburst babies to bring home for everyone and then went back to packing and cleaning/organizing the cabin! Abby did most of the cleaning, and I did the inventory list.
I went to Easter Vigil with the Avilas tonight as well as St. Francis'. I don't think I have gone to an Easter Vigil before but it was quite a long mass and I was exhausted so I was prying my eyes open to stay awake. After mass, we dropped by In the Pink for one last scoop of ice cream before home to make sure my suitcase was under the weight limit. I think I got it to be 48.5 lbs---yikes thats close. My carry-ons are packed to the brim too! I hope I can get everything on!
I hung out with the students for the rest of the evening and also rearranging my stuff to make sure everything would fit! Where did I accumulate all this stuff---I was bursting at the seams! But I had so many souvenirs and all my new clothes and shoes---I just hope the airline isn't that picky!
My eye started feeling weird yesterday and continued all today too so I checked it out in the mirror and it appears I busted a blood vessel in my eye---it is just really uncomfortable and hard to keep open! I am not sure what caused it, but I hope it goes away soon.
I can't believe it my last night in Australia---it feels so weird to be saying that and to be walking around for the last time here at Lake Ainsworth Rec Centre.
I really enjoyed this place and have come to know and love the students. I will miss these cabins, kids, and this place! I have had such an amazing time here and will never forget the experiences I have had!
I stayed up as late as I could to spend as much time with the students as possible and then headed to bed around midnight. Casey came into my bed to cuddle one last night----it made me sad to think tomorrow we would be leaving and not returning!
