In 38 days I will be boarding a plane to Sydney, Australia! I am currently home in Washington so will first fly to Los Angeles to meet up with the other students from my school, Rollins College. I am so excited for this experience, and started a blog to record my adventures!
For now my pre-departure planning is consisting of facebooking friends who went to Sydney for the same program in the last two years. I especially need to know what students wear there before I start packing (or overpacking as I usually do) for the trip. So far I have heard the Australians are a bit more conservative in their attire so I suppose some of my more revealing clothes (perfect for nights out in Orlando haha) will remain here in America.
This morning I received the information on my homestay family! They live about 10 minutes from the University (yes!), have 3 kids (10, 12, and 15), 2 dogs and 3 cats! Tawny Najjar is also staying with this family as we requested to live together and check it out--we even get our own rooms! Tawny and I both study Psychology and are also pursuing our Honors Degrees at Rollins. I have known her since freshman year when we met in our first ever college honors course and we are so excited to live and study in Australia!

Australia's Physical Environment
I am so pumped! I have heard that the class about the Physical Environment has field trips on the weekends such as camping out in the bush! I am sure the Aussies will appreciate my renditions of the great Steve Irwin!
Well I am off to check out bus routes to the school as well as wireless internet options. The internet is a definite must while I am in Oz.
