Australian Fun!!!

First off Australia is NOT America (hah Of course I knew that).  It's so weird watching the Australian family I'm living with interact because they have the tendency to cut each other down instead of build them up like Americans do.  But I learned that if people do that it means they like you, so I guess our family is full of love!  They are some of the nicest people I've meet, they are so open and nice (to us Americans hah)! They are Greek Australian so the food is AMAZING! I'm definitely not missing caf food! They give us the whole top floor so we all have our own rooms then share a living room with a TV and DVD player we have watched quite a few movies so far, but its strange because they own 1 Australian movie then the rest are American made.  The Australian movie  making is a lot different than Hollywood, in that its apparently not good at all.

Next on the list: Hip Hop.  This was my first class and the only one I've had so far and if its an indicator of whats to come...oh goodness! ITS SO HARD!! Yes everyone is right I am definitely not coordinated...at all.  So JJ I wish you were here so we could laugh together but the other people in the class are great and two live with me so I'm making them help me!

Australia is BEAUTIFUL!!! The landscape is breathtaking and the people are so helpful! Everyone is nice, even the bus drivers! Taking public transportation everywhere has been a challenge I've already gotten lost once and thats just going to happen a lot I can feel it.

The school I'm going to is so DIFFERENT from Asbury! Like they have dance class and music rock class and people are constantly singing and dancing in the student center its so fun! They are so nice and love Americans so everyone wants to be your friend! I'm thinking this would be heaven for JJ (JJ you know why).  The first Chapel is on Wednesday and I'm excited to see what it will be like. 

Hopefully I'll get better at blogging more often, if not, sorry! I can't wait till we go to the outback in September! A whole week sleeping outside and not showering sounds gross but I actually think it will be amazing!! This is the best decision I ever made to come here! I'll never forget this opportunity!

See you guys in November! Miss you all!
Love You!
