First Exam... Check!

May 30th, 2014

Thursday

I had my first Australian final. I got up in the morning and did some reviewing with my housemate before we headed to the final. I smashed it! For many of the people in my class it was their very last class of uni, so the rest of the day was a celebration. 

Robyn, Morgan, and I checked the swell online and it looked good enough to go snorkelling. When we got there though it was too choppy. We did get to see the film crew who are working on the movie "Oddball." It is a movie about the Maremma Guardian dogs. They are the ones that protect the Penguins on middle Island.

Some of Robyn's friends were skateboarding so we watched for a few minutes...

Then it was off to the rope swing! Morgan had never been there so it was pretty exciting for her. We suited jump and jumped in.

 So excited!

Her first jump!

In awe!

After we got back to uni we got ready for the International Farewell dinner. It was also partly a welcome dinner for those of us that arrived in February. The theme was...

 Thanksgiving!

The food was alright. It was not as good as my Dad's Thanksgiving meal, but it was a wonderful way to send off the international students

Thursday night is Uni night! We headed into town for a dancing and celebrating the end of this trimesters classes!

Friday

I got up semi- early to go for a swim. There was frost on the ground! It warmed up later though ;)

 Ben picked me up and we were off to the pool. It felt great to be back in the pool swimming. I started a workout but the pool was a way too warm, so I just had fun. It ended up being a very relaxing Friday. I attended the weekly Friday seminar and learned about fruit flies and frogs that live near Cairns, Australia. Then I just kicked back and watched some TV shows the rest of evening. I did get to FaceTime with my family. My grandpa is visiting to see my sister's dance recital. It was really great to have a "face-to-face" conversation with him. Technology makes being away from home a lot easier!
