Getting Here and There in the Land Down Under
I can not believe that I have been living in Sydney, Australia for a month already! Time really does fly when you are having fun. Before coming to Sydney, I knew that I wanted to see everything I possibly could in the short amount of time here. In order to check things off of my…
1, 2, 3… Takeaways!
Is the program really almost halfway over? While the days seem long and busy, the time has been going by way too fast. It has been taking a lot of energy to never lose a moment because there is just so much I want to accomplish before I say goodbye in such a short time. …
