tick tick boom

i know i've been saying it for a good while now, but i swear to god i can HEAR the time rushing by my head these days.

i'll elaborate properly on these half-ass updates once i'm home.

ps-i'm so not ready to leave.

stories that will get more love later:

i went to fiji! it ruled.

friendliest people in the world! BULA.

even the flight was glorious. air pacific? check plus.

horseback riding on the beach, life goal in itself, and then guide casually points to the island upon which castaway was filmed. sweetest life.

drank fijian beer at the swim up bar.

a lot.

you would have too--it was delicious.

started packing. it hurt my heart. i stopped.

after my exam tomorrow, we're going into the city.

i want to kiss the bridge and the harbor "see you soon."

(note word choice--not "goodbye")

i have a pile of stuff i'm giving to my loves who are staying/live here.

now i don't have to throw away towels, sheets, books, etc! little victory.

one final hoorah barbie on the beach tomorrow.

also-i think we're going to make serious BILLS if we recycle our proudly displayed bottle collection.

i'm sticking my head in the sand and pretending i'm not leaving.

sometimes it works, sometimes not.

for now i am literally soaking up sun of last day outside library.

trying so dearly to focus.

tough job.

si se puede!

more later!

MUST STUDY NOW!

the end.

love,

i would rather write 3,000 words on here than for my research paper.

but, sadly, writing epically here doesn't contribute to a grade/completing a course.

que lastima.

cliffnotes upon which i'll elaborate later:

-went to melbourne. heaps of fun rocked out on highest vantage point in southern hemisphere. drank wine not from a box. luna park and hipsters in st. kilda. 

-great ocean road=best ocean road. drove on the left side of the road. didn't die! great success. the pictures are perfect bc great ocean road is perfect. i would gush happiness everyday if i lived on that road somewhere. saw twelve apostles at sunset. as pretty as the posters.

-finals are impossible. thankfully grades aren't life...life is life.

-thus despite finals season, i am going to FIJI in three days.

-yes, i said fiji.

-with luck we'll hit up the island upon which castaway was filmed. with serious luck, i will meet wilson.

-last wknd we flew to brisbane. it was a calm city. so we amped it up a bit by singing karaoke with a herd of irishmen. it was superb. needless to say, a standing ovation resulted.

-drove to byron bay (again, left side, no tragedies, great success). it RULED. went to lighthouse/most easterly point in all of australia so many hippies. our hostel had ads on the wall for dreadlock maintenance. bought australia necklace. i'll keep that puppy forever.

-surfer's paradise. didn't surf. sad irony. pretty beach.

-still entirely unprepared to come home.

-australia is life.

BACK TO WORK!

the end.

love,

kasey
