what have I been up to?

It is now november 12th and I have been seriously slacking on updating my blog! In exactally 3 weeks I will be home. It is so unreal to think that its almost over =[ Anyways so in the past 2 weeks I have celebrated halloween, Meghan came to visit, had my last week of classes, took a final, and had my farewell dinner with my AIFS family. Halloween was so much fun! One night we were zombies, another night wore togas, one night i was a hula girl and the best night of halloween danielle,emily, meghan and i were the ninja turtles! It was the most epic costume and we had such a good night! We threw a party at my house which was a huge success and really not that bad of a clean up! When Meghan was here we went everywhere! Opera House, over to Manly Beach where a seagull ate a piece of pizza right out of my hand!, botanical gardens, pancake on the rocks, Australian Beer Festival, Paddy's market, the Rocks, Darling Harbor and the Hard Rock. It was great to see someone from home and we did so much! After Meghan left it was crunch time for classes! So the next 2 weeks were pretty uneventful! The only good thing was we went on a village cruise with a bunch of people that live in the same area which was fun! Then I got deathly sick with the worst cough ever! It took me until about a few days ago to finally start feeling better! Then I go and get an infection near my tailbone and am on antibiotics! I am literally fally apart over here! Today all I wanted was to be home and have my parents take care of me =[ I called them so many times today but I know they didnt mind talking to me =] love you mom and dad! Cant wait to be home soon but these next 3 weeks are going to fly by! Next week I have 2 finals and a paper due then it is off to the Gold Coast with Danielle for 5 days! Relaxing on the beach and going to theme parks sounds great right about now! Then it will be Thanksgiving and then I will be home! It also amazes me that today at the mall... they started taking pictures with Santa... I know they dont have thanksgiving here but come on!! over a month before Christmas?!  oh well whatever makes Australians happy I guess!
