So far my organisation has been limited to registering to practice as an Occupational Therapist (a costly process), securing a job, handing in my notice at my current job and booking a flight (where I managed to bargain like crazy with the friendly folks at the Flight Centre), but I have so much more to do; I mean, how do you move your life from one side of the World, to the other.
