Today just seemed to drag on forever! My day didn't start real well when I forgot my name badge/blue card at home. Tina so kindly drove and retrieved it for me. From then it was a busy, long day. I took roll call and found out what the students' favorite foods were, several of them being pizza,...

Pushing through for Summertime

My last day in Noosa! I'm excited about seeing the rest of Australia between here and Cairns albeit at breakneck Speed! The main place I'm stopping is Airlie Beach on Saturday, where all the sailing trips around the Whitsunday Islands leave from. Then it's quickly up to Cairns, only stopping...

First Day of School; nervewracking yet exciting!

I didn't sleep well last night, partially because I got warm in the middle of the night but mostly because of nerves with this being the first day and having to teach a lesson. I woke up excited nonetheless, and ready to take on those 3rd years! Upon arriving at the classroom Miss Wright showed...

Is it week 3 already??

I know I haven’t updated since last week (and even THAT was a weeks worth of recapping) but when lesson plans are on my mind every night after school, the blogging kind of gets put on the back burner. Then napping comes second :) So I’ll try to remember as much as I can from the past...

Weekend Explorations...

Sunday began, as it should, with going to church. Tina helped me find a Catholic Church here in town and Kelly asked if she could come with. We attended St. Eugene of Mazenod and were overjoyed to find that they sang MANY of the same songs as we do in our Catholic Churches. After church, Tina...

Fraser Island

I got up at the ungodly hour of 6.15 am to get ready for my pick-up for my Fraser Island Explorer tour. A fair few people had told me that it was better to do an overnight trip to the largest sand island in the world, but my bank balance told me otherwise and I was happy enough to get to see...

The final phase at Vintner's

On our first day back we had an early start to visit the nearby Apple Tree Creek market, a very country affair, with plants, homemade crafts, some frankly disgusting fudge, chooks, farm implements and one or two hippy-esque stalls. During the next week we did a variety of tasks: from...

BBQ & Brisbane

It was nice to get to sleep in for once, even if I didn't fully sleep the entire morning. Tina had an appointment at a clinic along this beautiful beach. While she and Trevor were there, I sat along the beach, checked out some of the seashells, and read my book. It was quite peaceful, and...

I've survived my first full week in Australia!! And boy, what a week it has been! Apart from the lectures and orientations at the Caboolture campus, we've had a few very exciting excursions. Wednesday we visited the Wamuran school near the QUT campus and it was great to see a day in the life...
