Spring is coming...

Uni is in full swing and I am very ready for spring break. Only 2 more weeks! I am so excited to see my parents, explore Melbourne, and camp under the stars in the Outback.

This past weekend I went to Cronulla with my friends to enjoy a day at the beach! It wasn’t quite warm enough to wear a swimsuit, but it was fun to sit and lay out in the grass overlooking the beach with huge waves and Aussie surfers. It was about an hour train ride from Sydney Central Station, so we just spent the morning and into the afternoon exploring Cronulla, getting some sun, and admiring the cutest Australian family ever! It was Father’s Day on Sunday, so there were tons of families out walking, playing catch, and riding scooters. My friends and I sat on a grassy hill, and a young couple came with their three little boys to play catch. Noah, Joel, and baby Will were adorable  Joel came over and talked to me and Danielle. His accent was so cute, even though it was hard to understand him since he was only 2. Noah was probably about 6 and he was playing catch with his dad. It was so funny because he was just learning to catch, and when his dad threw the baseball it almost hit his face. Noah said, “Dad, you nearly whacked me in the face!” We all tried not to laugh, but it was SO funny and cute. I love kids with accents.

On Tuesday I spent the night at Katie’s house in Gladesville, two bus rides away (about 40 minutes) so we had fun watching my skydiving video, eating Domino’s pizza, watching “The Guardian”, and relaxing. The next day I went to Kate’s favorite coffee place, Angela Jane’s, in Drummoyne where her school is, and studied for a bit before heading back to Sydney Uni for class. It was nice to get out of my apartment for the night and be with my sister. I am so happy that we are here together!

This weekend Kate and her friends and my friends and I are going to see a symphony perform at the Opera House. I am so excited, because although I have seen the Opera House many times, I have never been inside. The Sydney Symphony is performing a show called ‘Crime Time’, and they’re playing music from ‘crime’ movies like the Bond series, Secret Window, and the Sixth Sense. It should be great. I am also happy because it will count as one of my required concert viewings for my music class. It may be warmer this weekend as well (about 76 degrees) so I think my friends and I are going to go back to Wollongong and hang out on the beach.

I hope you are all doing well now that school has started and fall is on its way. I think about you often and miss you, no matter how much fun I am having! Have a great weekend.

Love,
