Hi Sara
Sounds like you are having a great time!! Get your partying in, Ma and Pa are on their way soon!!!! Just kidding I'm sure it will be great having them there too! did you get hit at all by cyclone Larry? I wasn't sure if it came down far enough to hit you or not?
Hope it missed you!
Take care and keep having fun so we can live in Australia through you!!!

Hi Sara-I work with your Mother and just want to tell you I am finding your journals and photo's very interesting. What a great opportunity for you. So glad your parents have the chance to come to Australia to visit you and the country. What a wonderful opportunity for them as well. I know they are very anxious to see you.

Enjoy the rest of your school and the time you are spending to know the country and the culture "down under"!

Hey Miss Sara!

How's life treatin' ya down under? I saw some of your pics. They're great! I'm glad you are getting out and seeing lots of cool stuff! How exciting for you! And, all your friends seem great! I hope you are able to go home with some of them over the Easter holidays. I miss Australia so much! Oh yeah... just a side note to prepare you when you come back... I talked to my Aussie buddy, Roy, on messenger for over 6 hours last night! Isn't that crazy? I hope you have a great internet connection when you come back! LOL! Anyhow, take care and enjoy every minute you have over there!

Hi Sara: Sounds like you are having a wonderful time!!! Can you write more of the slang terms from down unda??? I hope you come home with an Austrailian accent or better yet an Austrailian... Have you seen Gene and Sue yet? Love ya and see you soon.

Hi Sara. I hope you come back soon. I miss you. Can I come visit you? (Michelle told me to tell you that we may fund raise for the ticket.) You are missing out on all the fun with basketball. I got a first place (gold) in basketball scoring up in the gym.

Hope your classes are going good. That Koala you held sure did look cute and fuzzy!! Are you bringing one home for me?? Better idea...just send one home with Mom and Dad. Glad to see that you are having fun as well as studying hard. Enjoy your time there it will be over before you know it.

Good to know. Hope you're finding time to go to your classes. Have a good day (night technically for you).

I want everyone to know thatI have a limited amount of e-mail space I can use, thus the gap in updating the journal. When I use my allotted space, I need to wait for it to build again. I will be updating this site as soon as I can.

We see all these pictures of you partying...but how about one of you studying? Are you ACTUALLY going to college? Or are you just there to "find yourself"?!

Make sure to HELP the cute guys climb up the balcony!

hey loser i like the kangaroos talk to u later

Hey girl...hope all is well on the other side of the earth. Just thought I would let you know that I spent the weekend in your neck of the woods back in Minnesota. We flew up to visit a former RA and good friend of ours for the weekend who lives in Paynesville. We were driving up to Lake Henry for a dance on Saturday night at the bar up there and I saw a sign for Sterns County...and I thought to myself...Sara lives in Sterns County! I would have called you...but you were in Australia :) It was a fun weekend...but I'm really tired...it happens when you stay up till 3 or 4 in the morning for 2 nights in a row...oh wait...3 nights in a row since I am working the 11:30-3:00am night shift at the desk...oh well...sleep is overrated! Well, thats all I have for now...have a great week!

Hey Sara!

I love all your pics so far! I'm very very jealous! J/k! :) Have you tried the Bundaberg rum? It's pretty tasty. . . expensive though. . . so, here's the deal. . . wait til a guy offers to buy you a drink, and then say you want to try the bundy rum. . . hope it works! It did for me! hahaha! I know. . . that's cruel! Glad you're having a blast! Good luck starting classes this week! Talk to you soon!
