So I’m sitting here in Washington DC right now, when I’m supposed to be on a flight to Australia. Why? Well take a guess. My flight was late. My flight from Washington-Dulles was supposed to leave at 7:05 pm on Thursday, but it was delayed by 2 and a half hours, thereby making me most definitely miss my connecting flight out of LA. So, instead of flying to LA and arriving there late only to spend the night there and wait all day for the only flight to Melbourne which is at the same time everyday, I decide to stay at IAD. We have some family friends here who were kind enough to pick me up from the airport and let me spend the night.
Now I have a flight from IAD to LAX at 2:51pm. I just hope this flight isn’t delayed, but just in case, I have up to 5 hours leeway. So 5 hours flight TO LAX, 5 hours IN LAX, and another 15 or so hours to Melbourne. Fun stuff.

Going to Australia!
Posted by Prashant Katwa
So, I’m headed to Australia during the last week in June. Back in February I applied to UNC’s study abroad program and was accepted by UNC about a month later. However, I did not find out whether I was accepted by the actual host university until mid-may. Yes, that’s a long time to wait, considering all my summer plans depended on it. Anyway, I’ll be studying abroad in Melbourne, Australia at Monash University.
