I went on one last adventure to Sydney with my friends, where I took a tour of the opera house. Went to the Sydney Westfield tower, and did ten Coogee to Bondi coastal walk. It\u2019s crazy that I only have one full day left in Australia.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As I sit here figuring out how to fit all my shit in 2 checked bags, I feel accomplished. I thought I was going to be mostly sad leaving. If I\u2019m being honest, I am sad about leaving my routine, my friends, the places I\u2019ve frequented. However, I am happy about all the things I did, places I\u2019ve seen, people I\u2019ve met. After five months, I\u2019m also excited about going home and talking about my experience with everyone. I think I\u2019m too excited&#8230;I bumped my return flight 2 days earlier. So instead of leaving on Monday I\u2019m leaving Saturday. I\u2019m also excited to see my family, dog, and best friends and spend Christmas and New Years with them.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This has been the best five months of my life. It feels like yesterday that I was boarding the plane to Cairns, excited for what\u2019s to come. It has exceeded my expectations. If I can give my # 1 piece of advice about studying abroad, JUST DO IT. You learn a lot about the world, others, and yourself. It is also a great opportunity to see a part of the world you haven\u2019t seen yet.<\/p>\n<p>See ya stateside!<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<\/p>\n<p>Fabi<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well the end is imminent.
