Never thought I would make it. I wish that I didn't have a two week break and just had finals next week. The wait will be unbearable. I am not looking forward to them at all. I have four of them and they will all be 2 hours and 10 minutes and they will all be in the form of an essay exam. I am not good at essay exams, not good at all. Sometimes these finals are up to 50% of our grade, not good at all. So basically I am not looking forward to ANY of them. Everyone is leaving today and tomorrow for some great adventures. A few girls went to Phuket and Signapore, while some others are off to Bali, and others to Tasmania. I chose to stay here, lame I know, but I need this time to study. I have to kick my butt into high gear and study hard. We have 22 days till we all leave. In those 22 days I will try to explore the city around me as much as I can, study has hard as a I can, and enjoy my time left here as much as I can. It is going to be weird to wrap things up down under, but I am more than ready for home.
I will talk to you all soon! Love you

it is the one month mark.
so here it is. we have hit the one month till home mark. 31 days.
i cannot believe it. i have had so much fun and i have learned to love this new and fabulous place, but home sounds SO sweet right now. since my last post there has not been much to talk about. the last big hurrah was surfing and we all know how that went.
since then i have had my last two papers and presentation due. my first paper took me awhile but i finished it and my presentation went smoothly and here i am once again procrastinating writing this last paper.
so in the next month we have approximately 1.5 weeks of school, a week off for study break, and two weeks of finals. but my finals aren't till the last week, sooo TWO weeks off for study break. during study break people are headed off to phuket, signapore, bali, and tasmania. i decided not to go anywhere and explore the city of perth and fremantle more than i have. i felt as if i didn't want to spend the money and miss out on the time to explore the city i have lived in the past few months. it will give me a good opportunity to see the city and see the great things about it. as of now some plans are in the makes of heading up to the ningaloo reef during that second week off, so i hope that works out.
but other than that, nothing is new on this girl's home front. there is so much i do miss though! the phone situation has definitely been getting worse the longer I am here though. i can't just pick up my phone and call my mom, or my friends. it's weird. i can't just shoot a text to my friend whenever i need some quick advice or wanna meet for lunch. don't get my wrong the not being able to get a hold of HAS BEEN NICE but i do miss my phone.
i miss my family so so much. i just feel like i have so much waiting for me at home since i haven't been there in so long! i have a new baby cousin to come home to and friends to see and vacations to go on. it will just be very exciting to come home. but i will miss this place, it has been great to me. i hope i have been just as good to it!
but enough of that talk now. there is still 31 days left and it is going to fly by so i am going to enjoy every chance i have left.
i love you all and miss you tons more!
see you soon xoxo

from a laptop overseas......
it's sunday night here in cleo's once again and i haven't updated in a while and so i thought i would say hello. i haven't been quite as busy as my last update, but here it goes!
the week we got back from broome was a whirlwind there was so much going on and so much homework that had to be done. the sunday we got back from broome we went on an archaeological dig with out history professor/archeologist. it was an amazing time and i learned so much from the trip! that same day was ANZAC day which stands for australian and new zealand army corp. and it is huge in australia to celebrate the day! its like memorial day but on a much larger scale. we woke up that sunday at 4:30 in the morning and headed off to monument hill to join in the sunrise dawn services. it was amazing to see how many people were there to recognize this amazing event and day. but we got back around 7 and slept and for an hour before we had to meet out professor for the dig. it was quite a long day. but the dig was amazing and i enjoyed every minute of it.
the following was much the same as every week has been. busy and it flew by! the weeks go by so FAST!! it amazes me to wake up on monday morning and before i know it, its friday night. and so it was another friday night and the next morning we woke up for surf camp. we got up walked to the train station got on the bus and 2 and a half hours later we were surfing in the indian ocean. it was amazing. i think i was successfully the only one who didn't stand up but thats okay, because i had so much fun and loved every second of it! we were so exhausted and it was only lunch time! another 2.5 hours of surfing left! it was such a great day but by the end of it i was ready to pass out. we got home and made dinner and went to san churro had the best churros EVER, came home and passed out. it was a great day.
today was sunday and it was a very relaxing one. woke up cleaned my room we got mexican food and hot chocolate and then came home and caught up on some tv. and so the week begins again....48 days till home. its going by so quickly.
talk to you all soon! miss you!
