G'day Mates!
Yes this title is correct, I am going on Spring Break 2014!! I know you're thinking "but Rach, that has already happened you silly goose!" And you are right!! For America. For Straya, Spring is just beginning, and I plan on taking advantage of every minute of it :)
I will be leaving on my Saturday at 12:45 pm from Brisbane and will be on the go for a week and half. I am going to the Great Barrier reef where I will snorkel my life away, get nice and tan, go on a sailboat cruise, and just bask in all of Australia's glory.
From Airlie, Meg, Kayne, (hopefully) Melanie, and I will be going to Fraser Island for 2 days and 1 night. We will be arriving there at 6 am.....yay.....no, I'm actually very excited for this trip! We have many things on the itinerary including going to see the famous Pinnacle sands, renting a 4x4 vehicle to get around the largest sand area in the world, visit Lake Makenzie, go on a Rainforest hike, visit a ship wreck and whatever else we decide to do!! If you are confused what all of this means, just Google Whitsundays Great Barrier Reef and Fraser Island (insert any name of the above) and you will be jealous.
I am very excited for this incredible opportunity, and I couldn't be more happy to get to experience everything with these incredible people :) Get ready lovelies, we are about to go nonstop!! To everyone on the other side of the world, I will be writing in about two weeks. I will post pictures, of course, but I will be limited to the amount I can put on. I will try to work out a way to put as many as I can on, otherwise, look for them on Facebook! Have a great couple of weeks everyone!!
P.S. Shout out to my beautiful mother for going through her second hip surgery and coming out of the hospital today!! I love you oh so much Momma Bear and can't wait for you to be able to go run on the beach with me one day....and by run I mean lay on the beach of course, we don't run....I love you little prodigy!! AND....CONGRATULATIONS FAVORITE FAMILY!!!! I cannot wait for the return of fat days and baby screams again...well maybe the baby screams can be reduced to a tolerable decibel this time hahaha
Peace and Love Everyone,
Bugs

The Festivities are Endless
G'day Mates,
Hold onto your seats, the past couple of weekends have actually been filled with festivities!! I have been shown around Caloundra, taken 2 exams, wrote a 5 page paper and been to the beach multiple times. Basically livin' the dream!
The sun is finally out more than it is away, and it is here with a vengeance. I broke my love heart sunnies...long live the heart sunnies. So I will be needing to purchase a new pair because my eyes cannot handle this bright sunshine! I've never seen a sky bluer than it is here, and of course the sunsets still amaze me.
I know I said I would be going to the zoo this weekend...well, I lied. But, I will be going this weekend I believe! I also think I am keen to climb another mountain this week and go to the beach on Wednesday maybe. (Please hold the jealousy eyes!) As you can see, the festivities are beginning to become endless and it's not even "spring break" yet! Which I am planning on going to Fraser Island with some friends for a couple of days and the Great Barrier Reef! So there will be a blog following that, but maybe not for a week after, which you are all used to by now. I apologize for my inconsistency.
School is starting to wind down a little before spring break and then finals. Yikes, I cant believe I only have a few more weeks till it's all over...
I can truly say this has been one giant life changing experience for me though. I do not regret anything, and absolutely love it here. I have some pictures at the bottom for everyone to enjoy this time, yay! Hope everyone enjoyed, until next time friends :)
Peace and Love,
Rach
these next pictures are some I've taken for my Digital Photography Class. Not too shabby I must say

Rach and Rugby
Why Hello Everyone,
I would like to start off by saying cheers for hanging in there with me while I was off being boring and a hermit from either rain/school. I have some exciting news though... I did something this weekend!!
I witnessed my first rugby game! So that's a lie...I've watched rugby before on television (it's apparently a decently sized deal here), but on Friday my boyfriend, Kayne, took me with some of his family to watch a rugby game in person in Brisbane! It was a great experience I'm fortunate to have. The stadium was open at the top, like most sports stadiums in the States, and the fans really get into the game...whereas I just yelled when they yelled. Because, lets be real, I have kinda no clue what is occurring on the field. I actually, funny story, yelled because I heard everyone else yelling, and I wasn't paying attention for a second, and the guy sitting to my left asked me what team I was rooting for. Hahaha oops.
I also want to share with all of you that there is a pizza place near my living accommodation called East Boy. I know you're probably wondering where I am going with this. I am going two directions. 1.) I am still the typical college student that will never turn down pizza. Ever. And 2.) I ate a pizza with mozzarella...ham...onion....and and EGG ON IT! It was fantastic! Don't knock it till you try it people.
The spring here has officially begun also. It started Monday, September 1st, and you can already tell (it's only 5:49 pm Tuesday here)!! The rain has stopped, the sun is out and beautiful, the sky is bright blue 85% of the time (other 15% is big fluffy white clouds), and people are out and about everywhere. Especially at the beach. I am actually, fingers crossed, planning on going there tomorrow (my Wednesday because I have no classes until Thursday at 4-6) and also this weekend, plus the zoo! About to get my typical "States chick holding a koala at the Steve Irwin Zoo" picture, and I have never been more excited!! P.S. don't say koala BEAR...it is not a bear, so I have been informed. It is just a koala, now you are all in the Straya loop.
I sadly do not have any pictures to show you at this time; however, hopefully I will take some at the beach tomorrow/this weekend/at the zoo (for sure). Cheers again for sticking with me! Missing and love all my mates!!!!
Peace and Love,
Bugs
