Another update! It’s Sunday evening here, just got home from the beach with a bunch of people. We went to Manly again because Sydney was supposed to be crazy today because the Queen Victoria is leaving the harbor today and there was a big sporting event. To get to Bondi you have to go through the city. Still haven’t been there, but I have 4 months for that.
Last night I went downtown with two friends and we walked around the harbor, Circular Quay (pronounced ‘key’), and checked out the opera house. We got gelato and had a drink at Sydney’s oldest pub, Fortune of War. It’s in a place called The Rocks, which is sort of a hip younger place with some pubs and a few tourist things.
Spent the whole day at the beach today, tonight will be dinner and relaxing since school starts tomorrow! I’m really nervous because classes here are supposed to be pretty tough. Luckily I’m only taking 3, 11 Australian credits (about equal to 14 or 15 American). It’s not a full load, which I thought would be bad, but my academic advisor seems to think it’s fine, and I suppose this is the best semester to take it easy.
I hope to get pictures up ASAP but I want to do it on campus so I don’t use too much of my internet (since they do it by information passed, not time, here). This week wireless should be available to me on campus and then they’ll be pictures.
Hope everyone is doing well!
