Aussie life 2.0

Hey its a 2-for-1 week! 2 blogs well instead of one aren't you lucky! :)
This week marks the 7th week that I have been in Australia (wow how time flies!), and in honor of being here this long I am beginning to miss so of the American delicacies, but finding out what I truly enjoy about the Australian lifestyle. 

What I miss:
  • I miss rain. I love falling asleep to the sound of rain falling on the roof (or side of the house), and it has only rained here maybe 5 times since I have been here. Don't get me wrong I LOVE the sunshine, but a rainy day is nice every not and then.

Eddie
  • Netflix and Hulu. -Heads up to anyone who is thinking about studying abroad or moving here for an extended period of time. These do not work here so start watching ABC shows because that is the only website that I have found that streams over here.
  • Eddie. Yes, I miss my family, but I miss him a little bit more.
  • Grocery Store prices. Everything is expensive here, but if you search around you can find things a little cheaper then other stores.
Now what I love about Australia
Surfing at Byron Bay!
  • Surfing! I have only gone once and fell in love immediately. There is just something about it that is awesome.
  • The Beach! I absolutely love running on the beach. It is so tranquil and relaxing.
  • School. Not very often to college kids admit it but I love school here. All of my classes are so relaxed and my professors are so relaxed and chill about everything. It is a totally different atmosphere from Augustana, and I like it.
Bond University
  • The people. Everyone is really friendly here and more then willing to help if you are in a bind.
Anyway that is all for this time!
Later Gators!
