So yes, it's been a while. Let's see if i can even remember everything..

Race day was fun, everyone got all dressed up and we went to watch the horses race and got free drinks and food all day. I only bet on one horse and it didn't win so that was the end of my betting. Tuesday I went to the casino and also didn't gamble much. Thankfully i'm too cheap to gamble. Last week was my first week of classes. I think it's too early to tell how they will be, but I don't think they should be too hard. I also have every tuesday and friday off which is really nice. This wednesday I got to meet up with mom and grandma, and it was so nice to see them! We went to dinner and the hard rock and then the next day they came to see the campus. I got to spend the whole weekend with them and it was really nice, I got to do a lot of things that I probably wouldn't have been able to do. Friday we went to a wildlife sanctuary. I got to hold a koala bear and we went to this open feild with a bunch of kangroos and wallabees and we got to feed them and play with them. Saturday we took a boat cruise around the gold coast and got to see some nice views and some really really nice houses. Today we took a bus tour to tambourine mountain and had a bunch of little stops along the way. We stopped at this cute little village, an alpaca farm, a rainforest where we walked to see a waterfall, a park where we did a treetop walk, and a winery where we got to do wine tasting. This weekend we are going to Sydney which we are all so excited about. I'll have to put my pictures from this weekend up sometime, but here are some pictures from race day: http://s933.photobucket.com/albums/ad171/ashleymharrell/Race%20Day/
