Soaking it all in!

One month in Sydney and I can't complain about anything! The sun is still shining and the beaches are amazing!

We headed to Manly beach this past weekend and it was absolutely breath-taking. To think that after taking a 15min ferry ride out of inner city, you're able to feel the sand between your toes and take a dip into the pacific. We met up with Ciara's friend who had just purchased her 1st surf board and ready to hit the waves on her own. I haven't had the chance to try the whole surfing gig yet but in a week, Adam is coming down and we've got a day camp booked off Bondi Beach so I'm really excited to wipe out hard! A board purchase might just be an option! The beach had an amazing vibe to it, people from all over the world stopping to chat and sharing their travels with us, playing TONS of beach volleyball and soaking in the rays, what more can you ask for? okay, except having Jack Johnson by your side! Naturally, we polished off the day with Fish and Chips...nothing like feeding your stomach a greasy meal after sporting the bikini all day!







I must admit, it's been pretty hard to gear down with the books with all the distractions of the city calling my name at a nightly basis but I've tried to discipline myself by locking myself in my dorm to get work done. The courses have been really good so far. At this point, I only have classes twice a week and in May, I start my clinical practicums. A lot of independent thinking and reading compared to my undergrad which is challenging (in a good way!). I've met a solid group of girls who are quite studious (Asian of course!) so it's nice to have that academic support.

As I mentioned before, Adam is on his way down next week! I'm really excited to show him what Sydney has to offer! We're heading out to NZ for easter break to visit his brother, Mark in Auckland. The last of the Turner brothers for me to meet so I'm really excited to have the chance. We're also planning to head out to Blue Mountains after returning (a national park just outside of Sydney) before Adam heads back to Singapore.

Hope all is well back home and the snow is starting to melt away for you! Ku and Braja, take care of Ma and Pa. Good luck to my peeps in Uni, one month left before the summer...keep trucking, April showers only brings May flowers!!!!

love ya all
