Well I'm all packed up for Sydney….almost!I'm not checking in any bags (the airline charges you extra for this!), so I am trying to cram everything into a backpack…but its not working out so well. And, since the airports are all crazy with their security a few of us pulled a mission to Kmart to buy those tiny refill bottles…you know, the ones for shampoo and stuff….so I just spend the last half hour squeezing sunscreen into one….its definitely messy, bu...

Today luck was on my side (for once!).I got up early and caught up on some e-mails and whatnot before heading off to class.

St. Patrick's Day. A holiday I never really cared about or understood...until I came to Australia. I'm convinced that even the Aussie's don't really understand the significance of this day...but if they celebrate a day dedicated to drinking...they will!! Seeing as how this magical holiday fell on a Tuesday night, I had to be careful. As the next two weekends are completely booked, I need to reserve a few days during the week to do my assignments. I promised mys...
