Festivals, Church, Class

First off CONGRATULATIONS KATIE AND CLAY!!! Hope you guys had a wonderful wedding and I can't wait to hear all about it! 

I'm still getting use to the whole no internet at home thing.  I find myself thinking "Oh, I'll just go google that"  well I can't, and sometimes its annoying but most the time its refreshing! And when I do get to use the internet its something I no longer take for granted.  This trip has taught me so much already.  I feel like I've been here for a long time, the group has meshed together so well its like we've all been friends forever. 


Okay so life in Australia goes like this: Its winter here but I'm wearing short sleeves and wondering how if its 71 degrees now, how am I going to feel when its actually summer and in the 90's.  the sun here is 7 times stronger than what I'm use to so it feels warmer than 70.  But its nice compared to what the first week here was like, which was freezing.  Class is going great! I have my first photography class today and I am so excited about it! I dropped Hip Hop because I really can't dance (sorry JJ hah)! My psychology class is awesome! I love it already, my lecturer is from TN but the rest of the class is Australian (expect me and 2 other ASCers). 
So far I've been to the Rocks which is like an outdoor market and its super cute! Yesterday we went down there to the Aroma Festival which had chocolate by the tons, and so much coffee that I'm sure people won't sleep for weeks but it was fun! Then we went to Hillsong for church and met a guy from Norway who is studying Abroad at the University of Sydney. 

My host family is so amazing, they are wonderful cooks too!  I am so glad that I get to have this experience!  We are all setting up trips to the Great Barrier Reef and Tasmania! I'm so pumped for both!

Well that's all I can think of right now, I'll update again soon!
