Like many of you, I cannot believe it is May already. I'm heading into my fourth month of being down under, which seems unreal to me. As the semester winds down, it starting to get colder as we are heading into Australia's winter season. I love that right now it is Australia's equivalent to our November/December and it is still 80 degrees and sunny during the day, but then rather cool at night. I cannot get over the fact that I've seen Aussies wearing parkas, scarfs, you name it when it is has been over 70 degrees outside; it is absolutely absurd. Aussies look at me like I'm a weirdo for wearing shorts and a t-shirt, and I just want to say to them, "this is what normal people wear when it is 70 degrees and sunny." Also with it being winter, it is supposedly going to start raining heaps here towards the end of this month and nearly everyday in June. I think it has rained one day I've been in Australia and sunny every other day,so constant rainstorms will most definitely be a change.
My "school year" is quickly coming to a close as I only have four weeks left of classes until I officially done with my junior year of college. Then, I will be spending some more time traveling, except this time on the east coast. I'm beyond excited to visit Sydney and the Great Barrier Reef. I've heard that the east coast of Australia is as different from where I am as the east coast of the US is to the west coast of the US. Plus, I will be celebrating the big "21" in Sydney with my Canadian and English friends that I made on my spring break bus trip, which will be fun. Before I know it I will be on my way back to the US. I still have several fun things to do in the mean time though. This weekend I'm going on a nighttime haunted prison tour (kind of like our haunted houses) as well as going to my first footy game! Footy is Aussies version of American football and just as popular. Anyway, I hope Ya'll are doing well and I'm looking forward to coming home and seeing everyone :)
Cheers for now :)
