Aussie baby

These past few days have been insane - this is actually the first chance I've had to sit down and open my computer (only for about 10 minutes).

Well, I've landed safely and the flights weren't terrible. The first day we landed we had a BBQ (Aussie style) and then a tour around our neighborhood. We had free time later in the day and me and my 7 other roommates hit the beach with 8 of our guy friends on the trip. We went to Bondi Beach and ate at some Brazilian place near the beach. We were all so jetlagged, we all crashed as soon as we got back from the beach.

We also had our student orientation at the Australian Catholic University, it's hard to believe I have to take classes next week :( We got lunch at this cute little eatery market in North Sydney and then went to the beach again.

Today we had a scavenger hunt and I learned more places in Sydney and where I want to travel. Also, CAPA, which is our study abroad program, planned a cruise around Sydney Harbor which was beautiful.

Honestly, I've only been here for three days and I love it. There is such a variety of cultures here and the people are so friendly. I'm noticing differences in our culture compared to theirs and it will definitely take some getting used to. I just can't get the hang of driving on the left side of the road and walking to the left in crowds. Also, everyone dresses up here! No one wears jeans, women always seem to be wearing dresses and men in button ups.
I'm off to the grocery store, I'll post when I have time!
