Camping
I got to go camping a couple days ago and it was so much fun! Making up for my absence at the latest family camping trip.
Camping here is a little different than at home. You pay per person for the campsite, not per campsite, and there are lots of activities that you can pay to do such as horseback riding and four wheel driving. There were no hiking trails either...they told us that we could follow the horse trail on foot but that was it. I definitely like camping back at home better.
We went with Dave and his brother and his friend. They had never had smores before so I introduced them, although they were not the same because they don't have graham crackers here and their marshmallows are weird.
I have been enjoying my few days of relaxation before I have to start studying for finals. I went into the city today by myself to walk around and get a couple souvenirs. There I walked to the wharf where I knew the Sydney Dance Company was...hoping I could watch a class from the window or something. I think all the studios are inside the building because I didn't see any, but I got a chance to walk around the wharf. It was beautiful! I decided that if I ever were to move to Sydney I would live on the wharf. The water was sparkling and I could see the whole city! I walked around for a while just listening to the water and looking at all the boats.
13 more days!! Get ready!

Blue Mountains
three sisters
katoomba falls
my super cool aboriginal war paint
im drinking the waterfall haha
Today we went to the Blue Mountains. It was beautiful! I loved it. It was super cold though!
We saw a couple of waterfalls and went on some walks and some skyrails. It would have been nice if we hiked a little more...but it was gorgeous! Our driver gave me some cool aboriginal face paint. And we got to see some dingos, wallabes, kangaroos, emus, wombats, and we even got to pet koalas! It was super fun.
We have our GSE fairwell dinner tomorrow night and then its finals! I miss you all! Can't wait until I come home in 18 days!

Hey everyone! My computer is back!
So last weekend we went to Hunter Valley and did a wine tasting tour. It was so fun! Especially since the night before it was someones brilliant idea to have a celebrity party for Josh's girlfriend who came to visit, so needless to say the bus ride to hunter valley was lots of fun :) We tasted so many different kinds of wine and went to 4 different vineyards. It was awesome!
We are going to another rugby game this weekend with GSE and then we only have one more event for the semester! The Blue Mountains....im soo excited for that!
I guess Dave (my program director) is trying to organize a camping trip too pretty soon so I hope he follows through with that because that would be so fun! I miss camping :(
Anyways...now im just waiting for finals! I have 5 weeks left...thats hard to believe.
I love and miss you all!
