Answered Prayers

Hey everyone!
I've been a bit.. oh I dunno a little disappointed so far with how everything has been going over here in Australia. With my classes not being available, money issues, friends and weather change it's been a bit rough. The first day of classes wasn't much since all we're doing is introductory stuff anyways. I must say though in my creative arts class we sang for about 15 minutes! that was fun. If you have taken Drama in the Classroom with Dr. Mac, I think this course is going to be a lot like that. :) LOADS OF FUN ACTIVITIES!! so looking forward to that! Today I didn't have any classes but no way was I staying in my room another whole day, so I went down to the Plaza (kind of CLUs SUB) and took a yoga class, very nice! Then I realized I had to climb the mountain again ... good thing I had properly stretched this time.
We had a "Commencement Dinner" for all the international students tonight, not only from this semester but those that stayed from last as well. It was semi-formal but people went as casual as going to the park or as formal as going to prom! I was in the middle of that :) Around 6pm the bus picked us up to go to downtown Lismore where our event took place. As you can see it's a pretty large room and the food was decent (by that I mean no sausages or pizza!) Then the best part! I met someone from CALIFORNIA! ARCADIA! yup yup her name is Ali and she was soo stoked I wasn't from WisCOnsin or Minnesota (most of the US kids are from there) and then I met Sarah! She's from Ohio and of course Dani was excited about that since she was an Au Pair in Ohio for a year! Sarah came back to our place and we had about a two hour convo on boyfriends, religion.. and the rest and it was sooo great!! We're planning to go to the bible study tomorrow night and I'm soo excited! ok that's WAY more than anyone needs but I was a little excited! :) Toodles! Yvonne
