Haven't really had much to post about lately. Everything seems to be coming to an end, including my time in Australia, which makes me incredibly sad! We had our last rugby game, all of my tv shows, including LOST had their season finales this week, and we had a meeting for international kids who are leaving after this semester. I've only got 39 more days left in the awesome country that is Oz. Ah! How is it almost time to leave (expect to hear that in about every post between now and the time I get back to the states)? And I only have 2 weeks of classes left!!! Crazy.
On the bright side, I still have many more adventures left before I have to go. This weekend, I'm doing my advanced dive certification on Magnetic Island. Included in that is a dive that I've been waiting on since I got here: the Yongala. I'm just ready for the dives this weekend. We start out with a night dive on Friday and then the Yongala is on Saturday. I don't really know the rest of the schedule, but I'm sure it's going to be fun. Also, a bunch of the kids I hang out with are doing their OW certification that weekend too, so we'll all be able to hang out on Maggie!
The weekend after that, I'll be heading to Melbourne and Sydney with Julia and Leandra. It should be pretty fun. We leave Townsville at 7:40pm on Friday, hang out in Melbourne on Saturday and Sunday, then head to Sydney at noon on Monday. We get back to Townsville Thursday morning (which happens to be my sisters' last day of school in the states!) It should be a fun adventure, staying in hostels always is. After we get back, I have another week off to study, and then exams Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Then it'll be time to pack everything up and leave:(
I've been talking to the lady at STA travel about changing my flights to include a stopover in Hawaii, and I found out you can only fly from Fiji to Hawaii on Sundays, which cuts my Fiji stop down considerably. Considering it's not the safest place to be unless you're staying at a resort (which I will be doing), it's okay with me. So I go to Fiji with Julie, her mom, and Emily from June 26 to June 28, then I fly to Hawaii and stay for a week! How crazy is that? Look at me being all adventurous and staying in Hawaii by myself! Crazy, eh? Though I'm still open for travel companions! Then I will fly back to good ol' SC on July 5th, after watching the fireworks at Pearl Harbor on July 4th. Woot!

In the past two weeks, we've had our last two games of rugby season: GR and John Flynn, the last of which we almost won. Final score was 15-10:( Oh well...it was a fun season and I can't believe it's over!

I also crashed the WC Tradies/Ladies party...just got dressed up and hung out. Fun times:)
That's all for now...expect long posts in the coming weeks! Love and miss y'all!
