I have 1 week left in Australia. I've been here for 3 so I can't complain. I can't believe it's almost over. This trip has been amazing and the end is bittersweet. I want to come home, but I am afraid of never being able to come back here again. I am looking forward to being home. I miss my bed and cats and privacy. It will be nice to go to ( Read more... )

I'm really sick of Cairns. The town is a big tourist attraction and it gets old really fast. Tomorrow we're leaving to go to Port Douglas and I can hardly wait. Last night I went to the casino. It was ok, but I went with Penny who's older and I would like to be with the regular group more but Penny & Jess don't seem to want to hang out with them. I ( Read more... )

Today I tried Vegemite and it was the nastiest thing I've ever eaten. Last night I had bangers which is a sausage, it was ok, but a little spicier than I would like. Yesterday and today we had lectures which sucked. Today we learned about all the poisonous/venomous creatures on the reef and I really hope I don't run into any. Tomorrow we're going ( Read more... )

I'm currently in Cairns, Australia. I have been here for 2 days now. It is very beautiful here but extremely humid. I feel like I'm in the Bahamas all over again. Getting here was an adventure. I had to fly from Pittsburgh to Dallas, then to San Diego where I got stuck so I had to take a 3 hour train ride to LA. At least I got to see some ( Read more... )

I think my mom's new goal is to do whatever it takes to stop me from going to Fiji. First, it was I couldn't go alone. Well I found 2 guys to go with. And I don't even know if I'm going with them, because they want to stay in Australia for another week and then go which I don't know if I can afford. But tonight she told me that was the dumbest ( Read more... )

Last night at spinning we had to pretend we were biking up a hill. I was really out of breath and class was like halfway over, so everyone was panting and stuff and then someone let out the nastiest fart ever. I wanted to cover my face and escape the smell but I had to keep on pedaling and act like nothing was there. It was extremely foul ( Read more... )

I worked last night and Friday night at the Professional Bull Riding show.. and boy was it an adventure. All the ushers wear bowties, but instead we had to wear bandannas around our necks. I looked so lame. All the people there were serious rednecks. I got so sick of hearing people yell "Git R Done and Yee Haw". I don't know who would actually ( Read more... )

I had my 411 test today that I studied for hours for and I don't think I did too well. I'm so mad. I studied for HOURS for that test and so much harder than the last test. I even went to his office hours to get him to explain stuff to me and I really felt like I understood. Luckily a bunch of other people felt the same way I did, so hopefully that ( Read more... )

My professor is hot I'm not going to lie. My friend thinks he looks like a monkey, but I don't think so. His laugh sounds like a seal, but that's the only animal thing about him. She thinks that after spending so much time in the meteorology department my standards have dropped. Most of the meteo people are ugly and dorky and dirty. But he's really ( Read more... )

There's this guy that sits in on my classes and I think he's retarded. He just randomly appeared one day and I don't know why he just comes into class. It's a meteorology class. It's hard and boring. It's all about air. I don't even want to sit there and it's for my major. He just appeared like last week. Well today, he sneezed and it sounded like ( Read more... )
