Once again, it is time for updates! As many of you know, I will be graduating very soon- August 29th, to be exact. Next week will be my last week of classes, followed by a week to finish up clinic shifts, and then I will be suddenly ejected from the comfort of the OCOM nest that I have been residing in for the past four years.

- In the next month, I will have booked my flight for the beginning of January 2015, along with my dog's flight and quarantine reservations. No turning back now! Since I am booking my arrival before knowing whether I have been accepted or not, I am planning to arrive on a Work/Holiday visa, which will allow me to stay in AU and
