So I am going to try and keep this thing updated while I am in Australia. I am not sure how well that is going to work out but I will try.
The flight over was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. All 4 of my planes were delayed but I didn't miss any connections. The worst flight were actually the shortest ones and not the 12 hour one from LAX to Auckland (it probably had to do with the fact that I slept through half of it and they had a great movie selection). I left on the 22 and arrived mid-morning in Australia on the 24th (some how I lost the 23 in my travels). While it is winter here right now you would never guess it by the weather. Every day has been in the high 60s to mid 70s, bright blue sky and sunny. I don't think any of us were prepared for this weather at least not this soon.
Orientation has taken up the days so far but it has included fun trips such as a Sydney Harbour boat cruise (which was 3.5-4 hours long...who knew the harbour was that large) as well as a trip to Bondi Beach which is only about 30-40min away from where we live. We have had the evenings free so there has been time to go out and check out Sydney at night. Today we registered for classes which reminded us of the fact that we are here to take classes. As of right now I am taking Australian Art and Architecture, Australian Cinema, Australian Culture and Society as well as the internship. I had an interview about what I want for an internship and I am not quite sure what I am going to end up with. They dont get many PT majors (although there are 3 this semester) so they don't have a lot of connections. Hopefully it works out by the time they begin in mid-October.
