One Month...

So, It has officially been a month since I left home. Does it feel like a month to all of you? It doesn't to me. I've just stated seeing this place for what it is. It feels like its been one really long week, but it hasnt. Its been a month. I find that hard to believe, because I never thought I would be able to do this. But aside from missing everyone immensely, I can see that you were right Mom. This is turning out to be the trip of a lifetime after all. And while I am talking to you, Mom, thanks for making me go when I didnt want to. Anyway...back to my rattling update. I got withdrawn from my pharmacology class...buggers. Now I am in a Drama class, which i needed as an elective anyway. So t turned out okay anyways. Its windy here today, but warming up, and the birds outside my window, are still there. Buggers. They are so loud at all the horrid hours of the morning. I'd like a BB gun about now to stick out the window and pluck birds off with, but then i suspect someone would be bailing me out of the slammer. :)Heh. So how have you all been? Someone leave me a message. This is begining to feel like a one sided communication attempt. And I dont like it. :)

Time Flies...

SO, it has been almost a month now. Wow. Time sure does fly when you are having fun huh? Classes started today. History is going to be the death of me. I'm going to die of boredom. HAHAHAHAHAH. My Pathology and Pharmocology class is really interesting though and im excited for my writing class. Also i have a poerty class, but it reading not writing so i dont know ow that will be. Its starting to get warmer now, not like freezing cold. YAY. Oh...tonight is pirate night! Fun huh? I'm excited, I got these obnoxiously pink strpied socks to wear for it. woohoo. Well, i have to get going. Food time, so my stomach tells me.

Hello...

OKay, I'm back for another update. Its sunday, and nothing is open so i think im having noodles for lunch again. hehe. Nothing much going on here, just waiting for school to start. MIss everyone!

Hum...

I'm starting to miss home a little, but I think its because I am not as busy. It got a little warmer, which is really nice, but its raining though. No one is commenting or, like answering me. WHy is that? Ah, well, I shall update you all at a later time. Yep yep.

Reef Day!!

Hello all. Today we went to the Great barrier Reef. It was SO awesome. I went snorkeling in two spots on the reef. I found Nemo ( haha) and Dory, and I also saw a little shark. I swam with Zebra fish and all sorts of tropical fish and saw a giant clam and i petted a fish that came really close to me. I saw every sort of coral inder the sun and I also saw a sea anemone. It was really gorgeous. The water was blue green and so clear and clean you could see to the bottom even where it was heaps of meters deep. We just got back less then an hour ago( its now 607pm) and we are getting ready to head for dinner. Aussie food is great in case you all are curious. I have to get going, but I'll get back to you later.



To see pictures of the last two days go here:

I'm here!!!

So everyone, I am here in gorgerous Australia. This is day two for me, because i havent had time to get online. Sorry if anone was worrying. Today we went to a place called Rainforestation, a wild life reserve and Aboriginal Park. We saw Aboriginal dancers and so many beautiful animals. I fed kangaroos, and wallabies, and saw crocs and dingos and wombats. I held a koala and got to go on a boat ride through the rainforest. It was so amazing. I am in Cairns right now, (pronounced like Cahns in Aussie) which is within walking distance to the ocean. THe pool has a waterfall and there are palms everywhere. I took a bunch of pictures i am getting ready to post. So you should all look, and yeah, when i get done at the reef tomorrow I will updayte again. promise.


All my love and I miss you all.
