Yesterday wasn't too exciting. In the morning I got almost all my classes figured out.all 3 of them that is. I am still waiting to get completely enrolled but I am sure it will all work out. After this was taken care of I did a pretty big load of grocery shopping. It was pretty entertaining because Callie and I walked up and down every aisle just looking at the different products. My favorite part is the variety of starburst products. The picture is on my iphone but I will post it here soon. I got starburst snakes this time. They are delicious! Also, they measure things in here in "energy" instead of calories. It makes me feel like everything I eat is giving me energy and nothing is bad for me! Great! After shopping Callie and I enjoyed the sunshine while playing rummy. We had a running total going.. I believe she beat me by about 800 points. It was really close. In the evening there was a harbor cruise for the international students. The night was absolutely gorgeous and clear. The lights from the city and the Sydney Opera House were amazing. Unfortunately I forgot my camera..again I have some pictures of my phone which I will post later. Anyway, the night was so incredible and it was a great cruise.
Today was more of a lazy morning. I got to skype Geneva! That was pretty great. After kind of getting ready and organizing my stuff a bit more I decided to use my last day on this train ticket and visit the botanical gardens. It is so beautiful and peaceful. The entire park faces the water and there are benches everywhere to just sit and relax. I took my Bible and read a bit from that and a bit of A Hole in our Gospel, which we had to read parts of for core but I decided I wanted to go back and read of all of it. It was a perfect little outing. I also tried a "flat white" which from what I understand is like a latte..but no flavor. I couldn't decide how I felt about it. On my train ride back I got very excited about being here. I have decided that I love this city. I love all the different culture, on the harbor there are so many types of people and languages and accents all around. I also love that I feel safe here. It is a city but I feel very comfortable traveling the trains by myself (in the daytime) which is so cool. It's also beautiful and I love that I can look at the Sydney Opera House everyday. I feel blessed to be here and I am excited to see what God has planned for me. Thank you everyone for all of your prayers and support. I really do have the best family and friends ever, so I could never stay here for good. :)
