50 Days and Counting!!!

Everything is falling into place! I have purchased my luggage, schedules classes, finalized my airline tickets, finished the online videos and tests, gotten my debit cards and travel identification cards, got my scuba diving certification, and finished the paper work to move out of the dorms...now its time to enjoy the last 50 days I have to spend with friends and family before this amazing journey begins!

 Here is a picture of Lennox Head and the area we will be living. Our Lodging is located at the northern end of Lennox Head, between Seven Mile Beach and Lake Ainsworth! Our Housing is located just off the bottom frame of the picture-each cabin sleeps four students in two bedrooms and has a kitchen. I cannot wait to for this journey to begin!

In order to get to know the people going on the trip better one student had the bright idea of having an Australia Group get together so last week we all got together for a night of partying and getting to know each other! It was great to meet the group and find people with common interests on the trip. A lot of people on the trip are scuba dive certified and also enjoy climbing, i have a feeling we will be enjoying Australia and all it has to offer!!

This coming week is my last week at Ball State until next fall semester. I finish my final exams on Friday and move out out Studebaker West for good! Christmas Break will be spent at home with my family along with a few short trips to see other loved ones before I leave. Good Luck on Finals!!!!!!!
