Beginn eines der besten Wochenenden ever

Easter in Sydney
Right now I'm sitting in my apartment watching Paradise Hotel (maybe the most pointless reality tv show ever created), and I'm not quite sure why. I keep finding myself watching terrible American tv shows that I would never watch at home. I even got ...
Just call me the token American
... couldn't come up with a witty comeback... I think I just turned red instead. I'll leave you with one last thought... In Australia, voting is compulsory. If you don't vote in the upcoming town elections, you get fined. Imagine if that were true in ...
Work and play
... the class early because of our "brilliance"! I love my Structure of English professor - he's living proof positive of Australia's laid-back reputation! My Adult Language Learning and Teaching class is the complete opposite though. The prof (the ...
So long, farewell...
... trying scary foods with my Asian friends (such as the chicken feet I ate at Yum Cha the other day with my Taiwanese friend Archer, and the raw beef I had with my Japanese friend Marie). Like I said though, I'll be back. I think I'm addicted to ...

First week of classes
... . But he has a good feeling about the class this year, so looks like I'll be drinking with my professor! Only in Australia! On Wednesday evenings I have Adult Language Learning and Teaching, which is going to be more work than I thought. Lots o' ...
Becoming a wine connoisseur
... out the taste of food. And we even had a good sparking shiraz - I didn't think there was such a thing! I like wineries in Australia because they seem less pretentious than the ones I've been to in the US. Well, except for one of the ones we visited ...

Catching up on the past month of my life
... , cool professor. I had no idea what I was in for! It started out innocent enough, with dinner at a Thai restaurant in Randwick. Not all that many people showed up, but I enjoyed talking with the people that were there. Everyone was sharing the wine ...
Off to the Races
Day 68 Today I attended Study Australia's 'Sydney Outing’ and went to the horse races! I got all dressed up and grabbed a bus to the Royal Randwick Raceway for the ...
Made It !
... cold! I needed a quick nap after my walk, as I was pretty spent. My plan was to go out for a decent/nice dinner here in Randwick, but I opted to grab some fruit at the store and a slice of pizza from a Lebanese joint on the street. Oh, and you know ...

A Day at the Races

Uni!
... hard. One is of them is going to kick my butt. It is James Joyce's Ulysses. So, next time someone says all I did in Australia was drink on the beach, I will agree, but I will also remind them that I was doing really really hard school work while I did ...
Adios Sydney, Hola Auckland!
... of apples? Really?!? I saw a homeless women on Market Street as I was heading back to the hotel, (which is rare, as Australia has an amazing welfare system) who didn't really look homeless. And, the sign said she would be really "great-ful for any ...
Likes and Dislikes
... why it's such a hot (figuratively and literally) tourist destination. After checking out of the High Cross Park Lodge (nicer than Randwick Lodge), I will head to Kangaroo Valley by train and do my first home stay. I'm looking forward to this and ...
Sydney Sights
... blueberries! Not sure what it is about the bakery here, but it's all been very good! Today I have to check out of the Randwick Lodge and go to another one down the street. I decided to stay in Sydney an extra night, and when I did, the RL was ...
