Moving, planning, and getting excited

If you couldn't tell from the blog, I'm moving to Melbourne for three years to get my DPT.  The program begins on January 30th, 2012.  I'm so excited.  Australia seems like so much fun.  Man what an adventure!  I'm trying to find housing, the University of Melbourne suggests that I find a homestay but those aren't assigned until December.  Cutting it a bit close, Yikes! I want a place to live now.  I'm also working on the Visa process, trying to get all set up to go to school and work.  Unfortunately, I'm early on that count too.  The Visa office would appreciate it if I'd wait until October 1st.  Sigh, I guess I need to learn patience.  I have lists and lists of things to do before I move away but it looks like I'll have to wait on most of those activities until closer to my departure.  The only thing to do now is relax and spend time with the people I will miss when I'm on the other side of the world.
