Sunday I went to Perth w/ Jillian and KO and it was very fun! We went to a record store and bought some local cds...so hopefully they'll be pretty good! We walked around the stores...I bought a book of short stories by young Australian writers, so that should be good!

It's been raining for about a week now! sweet! and I've been sick the whole time! also, sweet! The only good that has come out of this is that I just finished watching the whole first season of The O.C.! ...and I don't actually know if that's a good thing...I mean most ppl probably come on study abroad to get away from that stuff and become a ( Read more... )

So the plane ride was not that bad. I had to leave Baltimore at 10:30 then had a little lay-over in Pheonix then onto LA. I met a woman from New South Wales on the Pheonix to LA flight and we figured out how to get to the international part of the airport, which was really confusing because none of the airport workers knew where it was! When we ( Read more... )

Yesterday, Kelly and I went downtown to the Science Center- she paid for me as an early b-day gift! We had such a good time...we saw dinosaurs (well just their bones), planets, stars, laid on a bed of nails, were archaeologists digging for dino bones, and ate pop rocks- which I hadn't had in forever...they're so fun! (I took lots of pictures that ( Read more... )
