Week 3 at M.E.S.S.

I apologize for not writing for a few days, but it has been a busy few days! The school days go quickly because of the large chunk that swimming takes up. It is fascinating to see how quickly the students are progressing during their swimming lessons. My teacher and I jokingly say that we...

to the city!

We left Kin Kin on the 6th September. We weren't particularly sad to leave - we felt we'd got all could out of our stay there, and while we'd learnt a lot and would miss the beauty of the surroundings, we'd spent enough time there being stressed out, tired or itching to shriek 'That's INSANE!'...

No More Ms. Nice Teacher...

Today started with the realization of EXACTLY why you’re supposed to laundry in the morning so it can hang dry all day. I threw a few loads in yesterday after I got back from school (which wasn’t until about 5) so my clothes had FROST on them this morning. So much for the outfit I had planned....

Laboring on "Labor Day"

I slept like a ROCK last night. The excitement of the weekend really took a toll on me, but I think I had my best night of sleep since I arrived last night. Today was like any typical Monday in the life of a teacher. I was busy planning for the week, reviewing what I was supposed to be...

Weekend in Paradise...Tangalooma!

What a weekend!! I don't even know where to start. I guess I'll start from the beginning. Waiting for our ride to the launch that had been arranged for us, we simply sat in the staff room at the school. Eventually one of the teachers came in and asked who the LIMO was for! We insisted that...

Frankie :)

Sunday started by a little sleeping in and a quick coffee down at the shop with some of the group. 6 of us had signed up for parasailing the previous day but it was canceled due to the crazy wind. Today’s weather was also crap, so we got our money back since we had it rescheduled for today....

Kin Kin cont'd

As time went on we got a little more settled at the property, learning to cook some fairly tasty food with what was available, playing with the dogs and exploring the surrounding area (although we were sleeping an incredibly amount, about 10-11 hours at night and usually a nap of some sort...

How did I get sand in THERE?!

Saturday started by waking up an hour before my alarm was supposed to go off, but we all got ready quick to make sure we would be able to sign up for sand tobogganing!! Sand tobogganing = sledding. In sand. How cool is this?! The tour started in a fairly large 4WD vehicle and it drove us through...

ZOINKS!

Ok. I promise that after this last weekend’s update I will blog at least once every other day!! As much as it is a look into my daily life in OZ for those who are reading, it’s also a great way for me to remember little details so when I’m back in MN I can read my posts and reflect on the...
