This post is going to be short and to the point. Sydney was awesome, as was to be expected. We got to see the opera house, walk the bridge, go to darling harbour, and take a boat tour. We also met new european friends at a bar-- ask mom and grandma about that one. It was sad seeing them go, but I am so glad and grateful that they were able to come visit me, we had a lot of fun. Last night me and my roommate karlyn went to the casino and I ended up getting really lucky and winning 360 dollars playing the roulette tables. This week I have become busy with schoolwork and upcoming exams and projects. The weather is starting to get even warmer too, and all I want to do is lay out by the pool and go to the beach. I am sure I will find time for school and that somehow.

I got homesick for the first time last week. Being away makes you appreciate home a lot more. No worries though, I am having a great time here still.

here's some pictures..i'll upload the rest later
