Everything Australian

I drive down the road, and I think about what it would be like to drive the on left side of the road. I see an Outback restaurant, and I think of the Australian Outback. I watch the TV or listen to the radio and the voices seem to say the words "Australia" and "kangaroos."

Everything reminds me of Australia.

Any word that starts with "A-U" makes me, for half a second, think it is going to say "Australia." I go for a walk, and I wonder what the weather is like. Any accent makes me think about Australia slang. My mom went to Sea World, and instead of asking how Shamu was, I wanted to know if she saw any animals from Australia: sharks, jellies, crocs, etc.

The watch I'm wearing: What time is it in Australia? A whole day ahead?

The little money I have in my pocket or purse: What is Australian money like? What's the exchange?

The plug on my hair dryer: I will need an adapter, eh?

The food that I eat: What food will I be eating in Perth?

The buildings in Ogden and on campus: Perth's city lights are going to be beautiful...!

Everything! Everything! EVERYTHING--- reminds me of Australia! :)

I leave, exactly, one month from today, by the way. I'm really excited, if you couldn't tell!
