Time to Freak Out Again

My two main concerns right now for Australia are housing and a plane ticket. News that I've learned in the past hour has sent me back into a dizzying panic.

One of the other students that I'm going to Australia with told me that she tried to get a plane ticket, and the travel agency, VSR Travel, is sold out on the dates of February 7th and 8th. This means I may not be able to get a flight from them, or a flight at all. Hopefully they still have them for the 4th-6th, or maybe even the 9th.

I thought I had finished everything that I could possibly do for housing, but I found that I missed the most important step. I needed to fill out a second online housing form that nobody told me about. This one asked for a reference and required a payment. I'm planning to have my manager at work fill it out, but it also has to be mailed to Deakin by January 11th. I asked someone at USAC if I could fax or email it in, so I could get it in on time.

After a few somewhat worry-free days, I find that I should have been worrying all along. That just makes me worry even more. I am going to need a nice long 5 month vacation at the beach after all this stuff has been figured out.
