School.

Well, here I am in Australia. I've been here for about two and a half weeks. I think one of the things I have appreciated the most so far is the abundance of outdoor activities and 'adventurous' things to do. Playing with jellyfish, frequent visits to the beach, learning what stingers are, and surfing. Although these times were good, attending classes is inevitable. Now that classes have started my schedule has changed...I occasionally have classes which allows only half days at the beach!  :o) 

Classes have been good so far; they are not too different from the states. One professor does have a bit of a thick accent though so it makes it difficult to understand at times. There is one difference that I really enjoy, however. For one of my human movement/exercise science classes I have a fitness lab and we get to have it outdoors. Its amazing to be able to do that. A difference from U of I is that all of my classes are far from Tommy More. They are at the furthest building on campus so its about a 30min. walk every morning (not my favorite in this 100 degree weather).

I reckon that is it for now. (I'm trying to use my Australian vocabulary).
