Welp, I have a mere 27 days left in the wonderful land of OZ. It truly is bittersweet. I am at the point where I really do miss my friends and family, but I will be sad to leave this place. I have gotten to do and see so many amazing things over the last four months, for which I am eternally grateful to Elon and my parents. Recently, I feel like we've been trying to hit all of our favorite spots for one last meal, or one last visit, and it astounds me just how much I've accomplished in my time here. I managed to go to class four days a week, do my school work, and still really get a feel for Australian culture. As I look back at my semester, there are many many things I'm genuinely going to miss. I'm going to miss getting into many arguments over which is the correct way to pronounce a word with my Aussie roommate Daniel;my flat's Mexican/Margarita Mondays;going to Cottosloe beach (the prettiest beach I've ever been to) every Friday aftertoon; going to local pubs to have drinks with friends;footy games; and seeing kangaroos and koalas :).This has truly been a phenomenal, life-changing experience. I can't wait to show everyone my 800 or so pictures that I've taken thus far. PLUS, the fun isn't over yet. Next week, I'm going to Cairns a.k.a the Great Barrier Reef with two of my friends for a few days to snorkel, skydive, and go on a tour through the rainforest. Then, I'll come back to Perth, take my one final and pack up my room, and travel to Sydney and Melbourne for my last week. I'm very much looking foward to exploring the east coast of Australia as I'm aware that it is drastically different than the west coast. I will also be celebrating the big "21" in Sydney, which will be pretty great as well. Before I know it, I'll be back in the good ol' USA working at a summer camp wondering why I didn't stay in Australia?!! Just kidding..it will be good to be home. I'm very much looking forward to seeing all of you soon!
Cheers :)
