This is my last weekend in Melbourne :o(, well at least my last Saturday night. I can't even count the number of times a day people are asking me when I'm leaving. Then they ask are you excited to go home, are you going to miss anything? I think I'm going to start running away and screaming the next time someone asks me those questions. It's ( Read more... )

Last night was a slight disappointment, because not only did I not get to go to an exclusive birthday party for some famous tennis player, but I did no studying whatsoever. Today, however, will be a different story (don't know about the exclusive party, tho). The current music update for me, is that I am obsessed with Eskimo Joe's song From the ( Read more... )

My, my, it's been a long time since I've updated this journal. Where to start? It's exam time starting Monday and my first exam is on the 10th and my second/last is on the 17th. I'll be flying out of Melbourne on the 20th and will stop over in Hawaii for three days before finally ending up in Arcata by the evening of the 25th. It's really ( Read more... )

Hey all those in the U.S.(esp those in Davis/Washington DC)!

As a politcally ignorant landscape architect I ended up staring blankly at most of my sample ballot. Could some one tell me what the pros and cons are for each of the "measures submitted to the voters"? I haven't seen or read anything about any of them down here in Australia. :o)

Today is a fantastic day! I got up early to play basketball with the JCH crew and Nana included. Nana is this awesome black girl from USC (Uni of Southern California) who can't play bball to save her life, but pumped us all up from the sidelines and fouled every chance she got on the court :o). We got totally crushed by our opponents, well, that ( Read more... )

Hello All!

It's been a while.  I just got back to JCH after spending four days up in the Grampians with my ecology class.  We stayed in cabins, which totally made my day--I was expecting tents and serious "roughing it" type gear, but instead we had a TV, refrigerator, oven, microwave, beds, the works!!  We spent the days counting plant species, the ( Read more... )

Hey all! I'm back finally from the amazing paradise of the Northern Territory after a months worth of amazing adventures in the bush and out. I'm not going to go into any details tonight, but I thought I should check in since I haven't had an entry for over a month and a half. Classes are looking good this semester and I've had a really great ( Read more... )

  What an unbelievable night!  I have never had so many new experiences all packed into one evening.  (Since I'm having to write these entries after the fact I'm forgetting details so bear with me)  I don' rememeber what I did during the day, but the interesting part of the day started when I ran into Abigail, an exchange student from Boston ( Read more... )
