study abroadSo here it goes... my first blog. My family and friends convinced me to put this together so they could hear every detail about my five-month study abroad trip to australia. I have a little less than 3 weeks left here at home. My friends have already started back at school so I am bored out of my mind! Anyways, here is a little info about my trip.
I am going to be attending University of Western Sydney. This University, or "uni" as the australians call it, has 6 campuses where I am at penrith. This campus is about an hour out from the big area of Sydney with the harbor bridge and the opera house.My campus is at the foot of the blue mountains which is called the grand canyon of Australia. I'm taking 4 classes: Advertising, marketing, photomedia, and pop culture. I am living on campus with a shared bathroom 
and living room but I get my own room. I hope I love the people I live with and I hope they want to travel as much as I do! While I'm there I hope to learn how to surf, snorkel the great barrier reef, and bungy jump in new zealand. I hope I can get to all of them and more!
Honestly this trip couldnt come at a better time. 2007 proved to be a bad year for both me and my family. My family dealt with everything from money problems and job-losses to death and incidences I cant even talk about. And as for me, lets just say I've had my fair share of mistakes and disappointments.
I'm less than three weeks away from leaving everything I've learned to live with. In 5 months I am most definitely planning on coming back a changed person.
