November Comes to an End

Well, tonight will be my last night in International House. People have been leaving for most of the month and the last waves will leave tomorrow when we all have to be out. Some will be staying here for awhile longer because they are living in Newcastle to work over the Summer holiday, but it will be pretty empty once we all leave. I've been packing up my room today, taking down decorations and figuring out what to throw away. I don't think it will be too hard to fit everything in my bags because I came over here with them pretty light. When I move out tomorrow I'll be heading up to a town called Ballina where two of my roommates live. I'm looking forward to just hanging out in a new area and exploring. Hopefully the weather clears up because it has been raining the past few days. An unfortunate way to end the experience here.

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Last Sunday we had a big Thanksgiving feast in the dining hall. One of the Americans organized it and we ended up with about 40 people (not just Americans) and tons of delicious food. Turkeys are hard to come by around here, but we had plenty of other great dishes and desserts.

Well, time to get back to packing and cleaning. Talk to you soon!
