Well kids, it's official... Today I opened a bank account and applied for my Tax File Number, yes, I'll eventually have to pay taxes. I even looked at cell-phone contracts!

After many doubts about my acceptance to the University of Adelaide (it's extremely hard to get into law school at Adelaide) and much wondering about the translation of my matric into the Australian TER (I ended up getting a surprising 96/100 in Aussie terms), I was finally offered my first choice of Law and International Relations at Adelaide University, the uni both my grandfather and father attended. Also, I was offered a Common Wealth Supported place which means that the government will pay most of my fees! :)

So, much as I'm pained to say, I will be leaving beautiful sunny, South Africa for the Land Down Under in the middle of February... I am certain to miss you all, but I hope that you will all keep in touch and come to the MASSIVE farewell I'm going to throw. :P

It's so amazing to finally have plans after so much uncertainty and yet, it's extremely scary now that it's actually happening. I feel weird more than anything, it's dizzying...
