Happy Birthday Betty!! It was another early morning. We had to be at the bus stop by 7:15 so we could go to the Australia Zoo. Dani lives in the same complex and me so I met here outside of her apartment. While waiting I saw Sara so I started talking to her and walked to the bus stop with her instead. Once Keise arrived, we headed off to the bus stop. Sara told us about her weekend. One of her German friends was here and she had stayed with an Australian f...

I went over to Melinda's apartment to see what she was up to and she took Andy and I to Chancellor Park to go shopping. We went to...

As international students, we had to attend a Living and Studying in Australia session. It was 2 hours long again and not the most exciting thing ever. A police officer came and talked about being safe, the told us about the trips we can take free for being study abroad, about academics, being safe at the beach and culture shock.
