Day Ten: Home At Last!!!

Today was our final travel day, which was sad.  I woke up with a fever and a sore throat, accompanied by a headache.  Fun.  So I just took Tylenol and then I was peachy.  Our flights were waaay too long, but it was all worth it.  Wake up call was at three this morning, which majorly sucked.  We flew from Cairns to Sydney to L.A. to Chicago, plus a fifteen hour time difference.  All of this put together makes thirty four hours that I was awake until I crash tonight at ten.  How exhausting.  Coming home feels sooo good because I don't have to pay for food, I don't have to wait for a teacher to check my room, I don't have to put up with roommates, even though mine were fantastic, and I can shower whenever I want!!!!!!!  Also, I can do laundry whenever and I have access to a dryer!!! For free!!!  Being home is so nice, as much as I will miss Australia and New Zealand.  I love my house and my room and having a fully stocked fridge and no annoying wake up calls.  And I didn't pass out on the flight home!!!  WHOOOO!!!!!!!

I hope to return to Australia and New Zealand very soon, because they're so amazing and they stole my heart.  I still can't believe I've been there; it hasn't sunk in yet.
