The End of an Era

   To be quite honest, I'm not really sure where to begin.  Finals have ended, most of my friends have all left for other travels or home, and I leave for the US of A tomorrow morning.  I will never forget what I have done here.  I have gone on over 40 dives to some of the most amazing places, swam with cuttle fish, sharks, and turtles, bungee jumped, 4-wheeled through the jungle and so much more.  I have made friends that hopefully will last a lifetime, and had experiences that I will never top.  But my Australian experience has been so much more than the combination of all the things I did.  I have grown as a person. I am more confident in myself and my abilities, I have mellowed out about the little things, and most importantly, I have realized that there are many ways to live the life we have.  My world has been opened and I can now see just how many opportunities and paths I have to explore and follow.  I am so glad I came out here, and I can not wait to keep on traveling.
