I'm sitting in my apartment wearing a couple of sweatshirts, looking out over the beach watching the biggest waves I've seen in this quiet little bay and listening to the wind howl through my not-perfectly-sealed windows. I guess it can only get warmer from here!! (and it's a great excuse to make stir-fry and watch movies with my roommates tonight.)
I've had a little more time to explore Sydney since the last post. A bunch of us went to the Sydney aquarium in Darling Harbour (I have to change the spelling settings on my computer so 'harbour' becomes acceptable and I don't fail my classes for spelling errors.) Anyway, the aquarium was really fun! There were about 15 of us, so we got a student group rate and ran around the place for a few hours. The shark exhibit was pretty impressive, AND they had a whole section of the aquarium devoted to Nemo and friends.
We also walked around Market street downtown, Sydney is really beautiful, kind of a mix between London and New York. Last night we went on an adventure to a club in North Sydney (which we found out is VERY far from our apartment) and drove by the Opera House and over the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
At orientation for UNSW they spent a lot of time selling us vacation packages for spring break and free weekends, there is so much to do around here, it's going to be tough to get in all in! I am signed up for a surf trip at the end of October, probably Fiji on my way home at the end of November, maybe Thailand for spring break at the end of September, sailing in Whitsundays at the end of August... now I just need to find time to get to the Outback!
Ok, its time to brave the cold ~ I'll post pics when we get real internet next week!!
