I haven't updated in a little while, but I have been busy. Reading so many books, getting tan in the spring sun, volleyball, a trip to Moonta Bay (pics on facebook), trips Semaphore beach, and yesterday a cruise down Murray river with Marie. I have been trying to save money, as I have given up getting a job until I am back at the end of December.
I still have lots planned between now and when I fly home in a month: Port Augusta volleyball weekend (aka "drinking and volleyball"), a weekend trip to Melbourne, a few more beach trips between now and when I go home. I am trying to convince some Aussies to have a halloween party. I feel like Australians would enjoy halloween, after all, as an adult, it just means dressing up in costumes and drinking (what's not to love?) and you don't really need to convince children about free candy, no matter what nationality they are. It's my personal project to bring Halloween to Australia...
They already have Christmas stuff out in stores! Yes, Australia seems to be even worse than America in jumping the gun on Christmas (I think the Halloween and Thanksgiving hurdles slow us down at least a little)
Today is my dad's birthday, which makes me miss home even more than usual. I am now creating a list of Australian items to take home, as well as a list of American items to bring back. I also have a fairly long mental list of "must eats" while I am home (I'm afraid I might gain 20 pounds while I am home...) I'll keep you better updated on the next week weeks (should have lots to report from Port Augusta and Melbourne). I am excited about this last month, but also very anxious to get home and hug my family.
