First off I have to congratulate my big sister, Stephanie, on graduating from college tonight. It has been a long road and I am super proud of her! Love you big sister! <3 <3
This week at school seemed to fly right passed me. I knew before I came here that my time abroad was going to go really really fast, but I didn't think it was going to go this fast. On September 29th (my birthday!) I will have been in Australia for a month!(okay, technically I did not get here till August 31st but those are minor details) That is absolutely insane!!! But a good insane at that :)
Alright so here is the run down of my week. Nothing to exciting, but let alone another week in an unfamiliar yet spectacular place.
Sunday: Sunday night I went to the Bondstock launch party. Bondstock is like the equivalent of homecoming, but not really. It is a week long event full of partying, (yes that is pretty much all we do at this school, just kidding!) music, class, and other activities. In the middle of the week there is a huge music festival to celebrate. At the launch party it was like being a little kid again. There was spinning teacups, a bouncy house, cotton candy, games, and music. It was like I was 5 years old again.
Monday-wednesday: These days are not very interesting. I just went to class, went running on the beach, and just chilled. However, on tuesday in my wine studies class, we finally got to do some wine tasting. The only homework I get in this class, oddly enough, is to go out and taste wines (see previous post, Bond Uni week one, for why this is encouraged).
My parents asked me the other day if I have been doing my homework and yes mom and dad I have!
But, really all of my classes are really hands on so homework is not really given.
Thursday: I went to my sport coaching class, and then went over to my friend Steph's house before we caught the bus for Bondstock. Bondstock is just like a normal music festival/concert (like Winstock, Jingle Ball, or Star Party), but its DJ's and one or 2 bands. It was a lot of fun!
Besides going to class and music festivals I have been in the process of planning my 21st birthday bash. Yup, it is going to be huge! I will be doing all of the normal 21st birthday things, but on October 1st I will be celebrating my birthday in a different way. I will be going sky diving! I am super excited!! So keep checking back for posts about my birthday week!
Well friends that is all for this time! I will leave you with this picture that was taken before the pub crawl last week.
