Drink the bar dry!

After our day of Goon Tubing, we went to The Uni Club to celebrate our last night. We had a great night saying goodbye to all of the friends we met. I cannot believe that we were actually saying goodbye to the people we spent the last 5 months with. These people have grown to become our best friends, and now we have to leave them, not knowing when we will see them next. Its so sad!

Leighton & I

Mully & I

I am going to miss these two boys so much!!

Once the bar closed, a bunch of hung out in the SCR until it was time for us Americans to catch our flight. Siena, Becca, Sara and I were all heading to New Zealand, but we were flying to Brisbane first, and a few other friends of ours were on our flight. We had a taxi coming for us around 4 am, so we decided to stay up the whole night. We were all hanging out in the SCR, just enjoying our last night together. Leighton and I walked around the halls so I could make my rounds saying goodbye. This was not easy. I was not prepared to leave all of my new amazing friends. It was so hard saying goodbye to them, but it needed to be done.

Around 3 am, I was just relaxing in my room with Leights, making sure that I had everything packed, and that my bags were under 50 pounds, which both of them were 2 pounds over, oops!

Unfortunately, 4 am came around way to fast... Tears were flowing down our faces. This was the hardest goodbye I think I will ever have to say, because I do not know if I will ever get the chance to see everyone again. The taxi driver waited around for us to say our goodbyes, and then we finally loaded the car. I felt so bad for the driver, because we all were a wreck. Balling our eyes out is an understatement. But off to the airport we go...
