Wow, classes finished last week and I have my first final tomorrow which I should be studying for right now.  It's really hard to concentrate when the sun is shining outside and all you want to do is go to the beach. This is the bad part about studying in Australia.  I'm not nearly as tan as I would like to be, so I really want to work on that.  It's been rainy the last few weeks, so now it's crunch time for getting a nice tan.  And it's crunch time for studying. Boo.

I feel like I still have so much to do before I go home, but I have less than two weeks here.  I don't think it's really sunk in yet that I'm about to leave this beautiful place and that this experience will just be a very fond and rewarding memory.  I'm so glad I decided to do this, but it's not over just yet.
