I don't remember what I did other than some studying and watching the Big Bang Theory today. I do know that we had the Study Abroad and Exchange Semester 2 Farewell dinner at 6. We got free pizza and a free shirt. We were also given a diploma type thing to remind us about studying abroad and a picture of Perth in a paper frame thing. The two heads of study abroad, Russ and some other guy I don't know, talked and we watched a slide show with different pictures that everyone submitted from this semester. Another thing is that they found a gas leak on campus, and had to shut down the gas. They have no backup gas line, so we have no gas for the time being. This includes the village. We can't cook except the microwave and there is no hot water. I hope they get it fixed soon.
When I came home from the farewell dinner I wasn't sad about going back, but the opposite. I got really Hope-sick. I know people don't want to hear about it and just want to hear about my adventures and stuff because I'm in a place that most people will never go in their life time. I need help thinking of things to write about, though. Please leave a comment!!! I also was looking up places to get a summer job working in public health. It is really hard because so many say that you have to have at least part of your master's already! I also am just having a hard time finding jobs that are just over the summer. I never had to look for a job before (my mom has gotten me my previous jobs and I just replied to an ad for Upward Bound) and it sucks!
(The dinner was called the farewell dinner, and the word farewell makes me think of the song of music, hence the title.)

You could write about the ways in which your semester abroad has changed you. Do you have any new insights that you didn't have before?
You should post about the things you will miss the most/least about Australia when you come back to home and Hope. Also you could post about the first things you want to do when you get back to the States.
Love ya!

Oh, and post about your expectations versus the realities of studying abroad. Talk about your biggest surprises (e.g. coed flats!) and what you thought would be different but really wasn't.
