Hello all! So I'm finally admitting it's over... I have been putting off writing this last blog because it closes the chapter! Ahhh!! After finishing up the last week of school and packing enough stuff to last me a couple weeks, Caitlin and I once again headed to the airport to fly off to the north easterly part of Australia. The state of Queensland was so much different than Victoria in that it's very tropical. it is very close to the equat...

Hello all! So I have less than 20 days left here!! I'm really really sad to leave. I would stay forever if I could.

Okay! So I finally have a computer and can update on the hundreds of things I've done and seen since the last update... During mid-semester break/Easter Break some friends (Caitlin, Ayla, Matt, Maxine) and I planned an extensive 10 day road trip to the middle of the outback. Sounds like a semi-long trip....but no. It was a massively intense loooooong trip. 2500 km in 10 days. Or... the equivalent of driving from NYC to LA and back to Chicag...
