In the last two weeks I have had one paper and two tests! Heavy load huh?
Alright so there really is no excuse for the absence of my blog posts except for the fact that I have been enjoying myself so much that I have not gotten around to posting.
I have finally decided that it is time to buckle down and let you all know exactly what I have been doing with my time here in Aussie land.
As I said earlier, within the last two weeks I have turned in a paper and taken two midterms, which seems to be such an inconvenience. I constantly have to remind myself that I am here to go to school and if I were back in Chico the work load would be ten times heavier than it is here.
Other than school I have been spending my time reading and going to the beach. The weather has really started to turn here on the Gold Coast and it is becoming quite warm which has made for PERFECT beach weather.
Last week I finished the book The Help by Kathryn Stockett and boy was it good! The book takes place in the early 1960's in Jackson Mississippi when African Americans were still extremely oppressed. I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone! It was very entertaining and really makes you think!
The Help was recently turned in to a movie so of course having just read the book, I really wanted to see it!
Last Friday I decided that I was going to see it. I didn't care if anyone wanted to go with me, I was going to see that movie. When I told my roommates Kevin and Clint that I was going to see the movie by myself they offered to come with me, even if it was a girly movie. They are so sweet!
We arrived at Birch Carroll & Coyle Cinemas about thirty minutes early for our movie, the boys didn't mind though because it left time to play some video games :)
Finally it was time for the movie!
The movie did not disappoint! The boy's even agreed that it was a very good movie!
On Saturday Carly and I were invited to attend the horse races. Every Saturday the Gold Coast Turf Club has a horse race and this is the second time we have attended. The first time being Griffith University's Annual Race Day.
Prior to the races we were invited over to someones house to hang out and have a couple of drinks before the race and the view was breath taking.
I definitely would not mind living here
After, it was off to the races!
It was a very fun filled weekend and it is only going to continue. Tomorrow is my last day of class before I have a week long break from school. I assume my days will be spent at the beach relaxing and reading the second book of the Millennium series by Stieg Larsson. And tomorrow my friend Austin is visiting from Melbourne!
