This is going to be a reaaally long blog, I kept a fairly updated journal during my trip throughout Western Australia and I'm going to try to get it all in this blog, along with heaps of pictures. I took 458 pictures and somehow have to narrow that down to the best ones. Anyway, here's what happened: March 21, 2008 (8:06 pm) Today, about 12 hours ago, we left from Carpark 6. Every few hours on the crowded bus we'd stop and switch around. The bus got really ...

I truly expected this week to be a "hell week" because I had a 1,500 word essay, a 1,000 word essay, and two assignments due. Strangely enough, instead of my usual procrastination I managed to get it all done by Tuesday afternoon (March 18) even though the essays weren't due until Thursday (tomorrow).

It looks kinda cool, unnatural for me but I like it! Something different from the "dusty mouse" color it was at least. Weekend was slow-paced, got to go around Perth a bit again and a native Perthian showed me the most AMAZING store in existence. It is a book...

V.P.V. Bet that got you all curious right? Either that or you think its some weird typo. Well it pretty much describes these past couple of days. V is for volleyball. Yay! So Wednesday (March 5) I went to my classes, which were alright. I'm seriously considering not going to my Bio classes anymore though, they post the slides online complete with additional notes and are more useful than the lectures themselves. Then I had my Indigenous Women tutorial where we ...
