The Blue Mountains

This weekend Kate and I got to see each other again! We went on a daytrip to the Blue Mountains about two hours away. It was absolutely beautiful. Words and pictures cannot even describe the amazing views. A few of my friends and one of her friends came, so we had a blast hiking down to and around The Three Sisters (a famous landmark there), and taking the railway up when we finished. It was really refreshing to get out of the city for the day and see what the land and towns were like outside of Sydney. It was so much fun to hike again, since I haven’t really been in mountains since going to Ecuador three years ago.

Classes are going well…Uni starts tutorials this week, which if you don’t know, are basically smaller classes that discuss the lecture, give out homework, and hand out assessments. They will be similar to what I am used to at Hope, so I’m sure I will enjoy them! My professors are all very nice too. I’m excited for my communication class, because for our tutorials we get put into groups and we get to choose a company/organization, holding press conferences with the class. It’s called media relations, and the main subject we are focusing on is public relations. I have wanted to take a PR class, so I am really looking forward to learning more about it and getting hands on experience.

I still love living in Sydney; the city is feeling more like home, and I am starting to get more and more familiar with the campus and surrounding streets. I have also met some nice Aussies in my classes—and I hope to meet more in my tutorials this week too. Thanks for your continued prayers! Have a great weekend.

Love,
Megs
