    Everything is winding down here.  I'm starting to realize how much I have to get done with my classes in the next 6 weeks, not to mention several things I want to do and see before I go!  I've been working as much as I can so I can save enough money to make it to the home stretch!  The 10 day vacation with my family was amazing (especially beautiful Easter …

    So it's April, and time is going pretty fast. I was expecting it to because that's what always happens, what I wasn't expecting it to be this fast! Anyways, I love it here. I love the climate, the people, the environment and just the way it feels gived me a good feeling. Here on campus at the University of Newcastle, I live in the dorms in a "self catered" house they …

    Unfortunately, I am home now.  Being in Australia was by far the best experience I have ever had.  It flew by and ended way too quickly.  I would give anything to be back there again and I would recommend everyone to have this experience.  I am incredibly jetlagged and miserable to be home here are all the things I miss most:     Things I miss about Australia: ·       Kebabs ·       Grilled tomatoes with breaky ·       …

      I studied in on the Gold Coast from January-April 2009. I went to Sydney several times so youll have a lot to do there. I also went to Brisbane a lot since it was an hour away from me. One of the coolest things in Brisbane was the Lone Pine Koala Sancutary and you can hold a koala there. You arent allowed to hold them in New South Wales. I also traveled to Cairns to see the great barrier reef. That was an awesome experiance. However my favorite trip was to the outback. I ended up having to go alone but I met a lot of cool people there so it was all worth it. Let me know if you want any details about any of the places and i can totally tell you more.
