We got to the zoo and broke off into a couple different groups. Emily, Becca, Laura and I went off to see a seal show which was really entertaining and here's a little portion of it:
After the seal show, we walked around and saw lots of koalas, giraffes, gorillas, lions, meerkats and more...the only thing we didn't see much of were the kangaroos!! They all seemed to be in hiding when we went into the kangaroo area, but I'm sure that we'll see plenty in our near future!
Ater we got back from the zoo, we got ready to go out to a bar called Cargo which is in darling harbor, right on the water. It was REALLY nice and had lots of places to sit or stand outside which was great because the weather was beautiful once again. We stayed out until about 3am and on the walk home, I experienced my first kabob. For those of you at northeastern, it would be the equivalent to your cappys. Kabobs are wraps filled with chicken, lettuce, cheese, tomato (obviously not on mine) and whatever sauce you like (i got hommus) and then they press it in a toaster and it's warm and delicious!! I don't think I'll be partaking in much kabob eating, but it was good to have just one...just to see what it was like :)
Today has been pretty low key. The weather isn't too good - cool and cloudy, so some of the girls and I did a little shopping in the mall across the street (don't worry mom I didn't spend much!!) I did go on a great run this morning all around campus which made me really happy! There are lots of grassy areas so I decided that at the end of every song I would find a grassy spot and do 20 "burpees" which are a cardio exercise with pushups and jumping...it was really funny and I got some interesting looks but I had a blast doing it! Then I sprinted up some hills to finish off the workout. Basically the whole time I was thinking about the kabob I had eaten the night before and it kept me going for a good 45 minutes!
Tonight we are planning on cooking dinner and going to see a movie at the theater across the street. We're going to keep it low key because we want to be well rested for our trip to palm beach tomorrow!
I have really enjoyed skyping and chatting online with people from home! It makes me feel like you all are experiencing some of this with me which makes me really happy! I miss everyone and hope to keep hearing from you all!!
Love Love Love,
Lauren
P.S. Here are a couple more pictures of our nights out!

OK, so just so you don't think you're the only one having fun, here's what I've done since you've been gone:
Worked at the Gap:- you don't have one
Shoveled snow:- you don't have any,
Watched TV: you don't have many shows,
Pet my cats:- so you have koala, kangaroo....bla bla
and last but not least,
ran on the treadmill because the windchill factor is 10 degrees and you have to run along beautiful beaches.
So I ask anyone reading this, Who is truly having the better time.
