I know it's been quite a while since I last wrote but I've been doing a good job of keeping myself busy! I guess I'll just start with a recap of last week. Monday night I played in my first division one frisbee league game and it was SO much fun. It's a co-ed league and I'm not actually on the team but my friend Mike asked if I would play for them for the night because they were missing some of the girls on the team. I agreed and when I got there we found out that our team only had 2 girls and you're supposed to play with 4 guys and 3 girls on the field so that meant we had to borrow a girl from the other team and it also meant that we wouldnt have any subs for the entire game! I was a little intimidated because when I started to warm up before the game I was throwing the frisbee with a girl who told me she's been playing for 9 years!! But once the game got going I started to play pretty well and ended up scoring a few points and doing pretty well on defense so I was really excited. The team asked me to play with them again next week so I have my next game this coming Monday. They were all really nice and I had an awesome time!
Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday consisted of doing lots of school work (crazy I know!) and not really too much else. The girls and I would take some breaks to hang out in my room every once in a while which kept us sane:
Friday (yesterday) I had my gender class and then I took a long nap and went to the gym with Emily before heading out to the Orient Hotel which is a bar on the Rocks that we went to last weekend. Becca has a friend here who was studying in Queensland and his semester is over so he and a bunch of his friends on his program are visiting Sydney for a couple days so they all came to UniLodge and we hung out with them for a while before heading out for the night. We had a really good time with everyone and it was a nice release after having studied all week! Here are a few of the many many pictures that were taken:
Laura, Emily and I in Laura's room before heading out for the night
Alex, me and Justin...he's making an angry face at me because for some reason I did that to him in all the pictures last weekend, haha
Aaron, Emily, Laura, Justin, Me
...aaaand of course what would the night be without some of my signature dance moves?!
So that's about it for now...sorry there's not much to update you on. It's really getting to be that time where our school work gets heavy so we haven't been able to do as much during the week. We only have 4 more weeks of classes and then one week off before finals! Unfortunately it seems like all of my big assignments are due within the same 2-week period so I'm spending the rest of my weekend doing lots of reading, researching, writing and studying! I know...so lame! But I'll continue to write updates when anything new and exciting happens!
XOXO,
Lauren

Reading your latest blog reminded me of the many emails I wrote when I was living there. The first ones were filled with adventures and then all of a sudden...it just becomes your life there. Anyway, I still look forward to anything you have to say. Oh and btw...you look AWESOME.

Yes!! That is exactly what's happening. As much fun as I am still having here, it has become my home away from home so things are just becomming more like every day life! Nice to have someone who's been through the same thing!
LOVE YOU
