Ok, so like I haven't been on here in a week.  I am TERRIBLY sorry!  But now I am back to catch everyone up!  I have just been so busy with school work Its been insane.

SUNDAY:

Left early in the morning for Mrs. Pam's church in Brisbane called Cleveland Church of Christ.  It was a lot of fun getting to meet people of our own faith here.  And the service was good!  Afterwards we had a little afternoon tea.  It wasn't a potluck because it was just finger foods.  Anywho.. after church we made our way to the hostel.  Which was really nice by the way, we had private rooms.  We all just kinda hung out there.. took naps.. had dinner.. hung out with everyone for a long time/ watched tv.. did a little homework, and went to bed.  [Oh and did I mention we didnt have internet!?  It was such a bummer because a lot of us had work we needed to do with the computer.. it was 10 dollars a day.. was not about to pay for internet.. ha]

MONDAY:

Went on a bus tour around the city.. So that was fun; went to a cathedral, and some other places.  After the bus tour we went to a couple of art Galleries.  Then had dinner at a casino!! haha.. It was a buffet.  Pretty good, a lot better than the last casino we went to.  Thennnnn it was back to our hostels to do as we wished.  Most of us just did more homework and then hung out in our little lobby area.  And ok.. there was an Australian Cricket team from Sydney staying in the hostel.. (they were in High School sooo too young for us to hit on, haha.  even though one of the guys was 18/a senior and he was really good looking! hehe).  but we hung out in our lobby/lounge area and talked to them for a long time about lingering questions we've had about things in Australia, and they asked us questions.. etc etc.  it was a lot of fun though!

TUESDAY:  woke up at the butt crack of dawn, packed our things, and filed into the bus.  After stopping at a gas/food station for breakfast we made our way to the AUSTRALIAN ZOO!!  It was the home of Steve Irwin (The Crocodile Hunter).  It was a lot of fun!  We took our picture with a koala and we got to pet & feed kangaroos!  Among other things.. Also the whole Irwin family was there!!  His Widow Terry, and their two children Bindi and Robert.  It was so cool getting to see them and getting to watch the converse and then feed crocodiles!!  I'll have pictures up on fbook soon, I promise!  We left the Zoo around 300 and went to a place called the glass mountains.. just a vista point/look out to take pictures.. Then we went to this little shopping village and looked around.. it was fun.  Then we had a two hours bus ride to get home.  Went to bed pretty quickly after that! Actually no I didnt.. I worked on my Bibliography that was

WEDNESDAY:  classes all day... then we went out to an Italian restaurant for dinner for Andrea's 21st birthday!!  The food was really good.  I split a lasagna meal with Victoria.  After that we went up to the 16th floor apt and watched GLEE with all our glee friends! haha.  I love our Glee parties.. Then I just chilled in our Apt doing homework.. I had a speech to write and and Bibliography to finish.  Among a few other things.. So needless to say I was up until about 2am, with an 8am class in the morning.... fun!?  Not at all!A

finish up later!! sorry!  Its FINALLY SUNNY OUTSIDE!!!! :D  soooo we're going to the beach!
