Tomorrow is the last day I will be in these United States. I'm not to bummed about it since I will be on the beach.
I got to try out snowboarding for the first time. I was a natural of course, actually I had really great teachers. My awesome friends!! I got all banged up and sore but I'm not complaining. Check out the badass footage we got at my youtube channel, SamBassAustralia.
I played a nasty trick on my mom though. I told her I got in an accident and was sent to the hospital. I got my friend Andrew to call her and explain what happened. She freaked out and now I think she's pretty pissed at me. I feel kinda bad, but I explained to her that I'm not that stupid to go and put my self in impossible situations. I always make sure I'm comfortable and safe. Now I do like to take risks and have lots of fun so I try my best to find a happy medium. I trust myself completely and I hope my mom does to.
She raised me to the best of her ability and I think she did a pretty damn good job. I love you mom. Now I just gotta say all this to her face before I leave. Wish me luck and I'll check back in and let you know how it went.

Day -02
So I'm debating if I wanna keep this up everyday. Ever since I started my video blog I don't really have much to say in this blog. And most people don't read this, they'd rather just watch the videos, it's more entertaining. So I think I might Change this to a weekly thing. Once a week I'll put something up with pictures and stuff.
Other then that I'm still super excited to get everything ready to go. I'm officially ready to leave the States. If you do read this more then the videos then let me know and I'll do my best to keep this one going if not then I will unfortunately have to let this little creation go.

Day -03
I'm back home PACKING. It's coming along well I'm making some very grown up decisions, it's a little stressful. I don't know if I have to much to say since most of my day is in the video, but now I'm sort of freaking out because every time I go away for long periods of time I've noticed that I usually forget something or something goes wrong. I know I shouldn't think like that and I should keep a positive open mind about things but to be totally honest I am now officially nervous. I didn't think that this would happen this early but it did and now that I am packing its getting worse.
I do have Wednesday to look forward to which is great. I'm really excited to go snowboarding. It's the first time I've ever done it, which is a great way to start a trip like this. Always trying knew things. Well I gotta stay positive and keep packing. Wish me luck.

Day -04
It is seriously getting close to the big day. I'm not nervous or scared...yet, but I do feel like something is building up. I know I'm going to miss everyone here, and now that I'm spending so much time with them i know there will be plenty of good times that I will miss. BUT I will be having fun and they should be jealous.
The videos are going well. I'm getting more ideas and it's starting to come more natural. I should probably start carrying my camera with me everywhere. Recording the entire day, that makes a lot more sense then just talking about how fun my day was. So tomorrow it begins, I know I'll get plenty of looks for talking to a camera and walking around video taping my day. I don't care though, in the words of my good friend Chris I'll just fry them (inside joke).
The super bowl was today and the Green Bay Packers won. Beat out the Steelers and everyone is happy. Well I'll check back in tomorrow.

Wow 5 days left until I'm in Australia. The suspense is killing me. Good times this weekend, as you can see this is a day late because of the over abundance of fun that I've had. Saw a kick ass movie, Tron Legacy 3D. The 3D wasn't worth it, but I will be buying this on DVD, learning the lines and such.
I'm still at my old apartment. I'm gunna stay here for Super Bowl Sunday. Making the most of my time with my favorite people, meeting new people too. Good people, great people actually.
Well I'm going back to hangout so I'll talk chit chat it up later.

Day -06
Fun stuff today o boy, so much fun. I had to get up SUPER early, 8:18am to be exact. I got a lovely couple bangs on my window from my father because he locked himself out. Then I got ready to go to the bank, yes the super fun bank. My mom and I went to get her account started and to add her name to mine so she can transfer me money when I'm poor, broke and in some ditch crying for her in Australia. God I love my mum.
I found out that my bank, TD Bank, started this awesome new policy of charging people for using atm's that aren't theirs. Well the whole reason why I switched to them was because of the fact that they didn't do that, and because I didn't have to get a credit card to buy stuff in Australia. Of course with any deal like that there's always a catch. So on March 9th I will get 2 bucks or more confiscated from my account every time I take money out from the atm. However there is always a loop whole and Nikki, the helpful lady that opened mine and my mothers accounts, helped me find it. If I go to a grocery store, or any store, buy something with my debit card and ask for cash back then it's just like going to an atm but not, it's free. So sneaky Nikki so sneaky.
This wasn't even the best part of my day. Right at this moment I'm typing, but just before this I started doing my taxes. Best time of my life!! I got everything filled out and I just needed the stupid website to its part and guess what....it didn't. So now I'm waiting for an email from IRS to help me with my dilemma.
This probably won't get done until the day before I leave or something like that. Always cutting it close with these kinds of things. And to make it even worse I have to fill out my FASFA but I can't do that until I finish my taxes. So other then this everything is going just swell, no complaints.
O yea I found a grey hair today, right in the front. I cut it out though. I think this stress is getting to me. Can't wait to be in another country.
