It is finally beginning to warm up! Hooray! Running on the beach and watching our friends surf has been one of my favorite activities lately. The surfer atmosphere is so much fun, such a laid back, peaceful way of life. Life has been full of wonderful experiences lately. Classes are becoming more interesting as we progress deeper into the material, and the tutorials have been very intellectually stimulating.

The UoW Harbor Cruise is fast approaching, so campus is preparing to head up to the Sydney Harbor for a school-wide party on a boat! It is supposed to be one of the most fun events of the year. We recently had a "characters" party at a local pub, it was very fun to relive our childhoods and wear costumes of our favorite cartoons. This upcoming week is the final "footie" game of the season and we are looking forward to going and cheering on the Wollongong Lions! I am definitely going to miss footie when I return to the states, it is great fun to watch.

This weekend we created a movie theater in my living room and we had nearly a dozen people come for a movie night! So much fun, lots of laughing and group naps. An Australian friend was house sitting her uncle's condo on Bondi Beach in Sydney this past weekend and we spent Friday and Saturday in Bondi Beach. It is an incredibly beautiful place, although a bit expensive :/

The midsession break is the time in which most of my traveling will take place, and me and three other girls are solidifying the plans on a 17 day road trip! We plan to travel to Perth, Bali (!!!!!), Darwin, and roadtrip in a camper from Brisbane to Sydney as the final leg of the trip. Experiencing such different places in a short period of time is bound to be an exhilarating and life changing trip.

As friendships continue to blossom and the weather gets warmer, Oz just keeps gettin' better! Love you all, stay happy :) xx
