Bright and early we're off to Tully! The most rainy part of Australia! In march 1950ish they had a flood that was over 7 meters high. The town now has a gumboot that high to represent the flood because apparently they were proud of it.
We learned more about Aboriginal people and has some delicious food. There was dip that was sooo good. It was like cream cheese, onion, and a bunch of stuff. It was tasty.
I went kayaking for the first time! It was more demanding than I had anticipated! It was a 5 mile loop and I didn't even fall out! I did lose a shoe though it floated downstream and the Aussie man rescued it. Phew thank god. I just bought those. It was really fun though! I definitely want to go again.
That's pretty much all we did today it took a long time. The rainforest smelled like weed. I'm super sleepy so nighty night

Rain in the Rainforest
Today were on our way to mission beach! It's a 3 hour drive from Port Douglas so it should be a fun drive. The have sugar came growing in fields instead of corn.
I HEARD 5SOS AGAIN. I swear it keeps getting better.
AUSSIES
brb fangirling
it's like the best thing ever when I hear it. I gasp out loud every single time. Luke is my absolute favorite. I'm going to start asking everyone who looks my age if they know of 5 seconds of summer and maybe I'll meet one of their friends and I'll have a connection!
The beach is right across the street it's pretty awesome. I loveeee the water. Call me half mermaid. I'm pretty sure my fins started to show when my feet hit the water. The apartments were staying in are so nice. They have kitchens and living rooms. I can deal with that. I miss eating ramen. Crave
We went for a walk in the rainforest at night. The frogs and birds were the only ones out. I was hoping to see a python. But there weren't any! It was actually very creepy I thought I was going to die at one point. It was raining in the rainforest which I found ironic 😂 we're going kayaking tomorrow so it should be super exciting. I have no idea how to even attempt to do it. I guess I'll learn!
Ohhhh I learned more slang "deadly" used in a sentence would be "those shoes are so deadly" meaning they are cool or awesome. It's making a negative word into a positive one. I feel so sleepy I took melatonin last night and it killed me. I've been sleeping at every chance I've gotten today! I only took it because I couldn't sleep because of that lizard.
haha okay bye! ✌️

Port Dougie
PORT DOUGIE!
we're heading to port Douglas today! It's about a 2 hours and 30 minutes long. So not too bad! Landing and take off is the best part. The view from this plane window is awesome. I finally got a window seat ❤️ yessss! We're flying over the ocean it's pretty cool. I've taken like 20 pictures 😂 I can see ships roaming around.
Posting these are harder than I thought because of wifi but hey a couple days late is better than never. Happy birthday shoutout to my momma ! 🍰
We're going to the wildness today so hopefully I survive. Random fact for all of you, the Great Barrier Reef will be gone in a few years. Which SUCKS because it's beautiful ❤️
that flight was ammazing. It was soooo pretty 😊 I wish would would have came here first!
After we got to our hotel we planned on meeting at 5 with everyone but they decided to leave early so we got left behind. So instead we went to a pizza place which was really cool! The beach is really nice, the water is a little cold though! I got some shells from the Pacific Ocean! I love PORT DOGUIE. I would literally move here in a heartbeat.
There was a lizard in our room and when we tried to capture him to take him outside his tail accidentally got chopped off 😂 no worries according to Spider-man it'll grow back just fine.

Life Changer
I HEARD SHE LOOKS SO PERFECT.
it's life changing. Hearing 5SOS in Australia is so much awesome than hearing it in the US.
We rode the ferry around the Brisbane River and it was so pretty! I love the look of city lights. It took such a long time though because it was free. It was called the city hopper if we would have taken the blue ferry we would have gotten places a lot faster. But that costs money and we're all poor. Everything costs more here.
We played bingo with transgendered women. Chanel told us she's having surgery tomorrow to become a woman. They were nice people. One of them looked like Lady Gaga it was great. Tomorrow is the big rugby game down the street and I wonder if the tickets are sold out. It'd be wicked cool to see an Australian rugby game.
The lectures here are so boring. Well they're boring in the US too but these make me want to sleep. We leave for Port Douglas tomorrow (port dougie) it's by the beach so hopefully I can work on my tan. 😂
I went shopping and got a ton of great souvenirs and stuff. Shoes of course. I forgot to bring a purse so I'm carrying my backpack around hahaha.
Okay byeeee!

Off to the Wetlands!
Today we went to the wetlands!
We didn't see any wildlife beside birds. I was hoping to see an alligator or something. I had like 200 gallons of bug spray on. FIGHT AGAINST MALARIA! they actually don't even have malaria here. The bug spray was like hazardous material. We have to get 3 survey done by this Thursday and luckily I got all 3 done today! WOOOO!
I found this super cute dress at a shop and I think I might buy it 😊
I learned some Australian slang.
Let me teach you. "to pinch" means to steal. I'm learning a lot of random facts while I'm here it's great! I wish I was a marsupial it would be so cool to have a pouch.
That's all we did today pretty much! I've been looking for water shoes because I forgot them :o oopps oh and they aren't called water shoes here either. They have a cooler name just like everything else! I've got some great souvenirs and can't wait to show them to all of you! 😊 maybe if you're lucky you'll get one. I still haves few questions left to do on my module so bye!
I'll talk to you soon!
Cheers.

First Real Day!
Were finally here!
Cross #38 off my bucket list! The plane ride didn't seem as long as it was thank god. I slept most the way so maybe that's why! The weather here is so nice! I haven't found 5SOS yet :( it's okay I still have time ! We're staying in a hostel and it's interesting. The group is still great!
We went to a place with Australian animals and I took selfies with kangaroos! The kangaroos were so precious. I was surprised they let us get so close! I fed them little pebble food and they gobbled it up! The kolas were cool too! Minus the fact it pooped on me! It was surprisingly heavier than I expected! I also saw dingos they look like those chow dogs.
we went around and checked out Brisbane. It's quite a cute city! They drive on the wrong side of the road here. It confuses me! Our bus drivers name is Ian he's a nice man. I should have packed more shoes though! My accent is improving so that's exciting
I'll talk to you tomorrow!

TODAY IS THE DAY!
Good morning everyone!
Today is the day that I leave the US! I'm soooo exited to have more stamps on my passport! This trip will make 4 total 😊. I'm going to the airport now to fly to LAX! And of course you know I'm looking for famous people. I'm like paparazzi but less intrusive and demanding. I'm like a sweet little fangirl who just wants a picture. I literally crack myself up All day everday. I actually liked being back in Phoenix for a bit! I got to see my friends who stayed for the summer. 😎 oh and let's not forget about the weather AMA-ZINGGGGG. I'm pretty sure I got tan lines walking to the pee train. And my hair looks almost normal. Arizona is better in so many ways. Semi speaking of the pee train there are so many interesting characters who ride it. I have a teletubbie key chain on my backpack cause I'm cool and some random dude had a lengthy conversation with me on how he won a life size Tinkywinky at the fair. It cost him $10 to play the game!
So I've been to the Phoenix airport a million times and today I got lost! How does that even happen? That's how good I am with navigation. No worries I figured it out and life is good. The line to check my luggage was surprisingly long today! They told me to pack light which I find extremely hard to do. I only bright 3 pairs of shoes! That's a record. OMG A DAY IN HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE.
Mental note to self:
-post cards
-Australian flag
Apparently there a papers due. Actual written pappers and stuff ! 😭 I HAVENT DONE THEM. but it's okay because no one has done them. There was never a due date posted anyway so who knows then they are actually due. Hopefully never. 😂 lord help us all. Off to LAX! ✈️
We've landed! This layover is 7 hours so I have plenty of time to crank out some of this homework! 5 page paper watch out. It shouldn't be too hard crossing my fingers! Only a few more hours and I'll be on my way to an unforgettable summer.
I'm attempting to finish this assignment up before we board the plane! It's 14 wholeee hours. Ohhh dear. It's cold and I wore shorts so my legs are unhappy! Off to Australlia I go!
Helloooo Aussies

Off I Go!
Hey folks!
So as most of you know I'm going to be studying abroad in Australia and Fiji! Wooooo excitement. I won't be able to use my phone so I've created this to keep you all up to date! I'll try to post everyday or whenever I can find free wifi. Key word being free 😂 I'll try to post plenty of pictures too! I'll be creating an album via Facebook when I return. So recently (like the beginning of time) I've been fangirling over this band called 5 Seconds of Summer andddd they are Aussies! I'm going on a mission to find them! I've already done a little research and I've discovered they are going to be in Australlia until this weekend. That means I don't have much time to find them! Haha I'll give you updates on how that's coming along. Hopefully it goes well. CROSS MY FINGERS! I'm on my way to the airport. I can hardly believe I'm going. THANKS MOM!
I'm at the airport and the weather is terrrrrible! The sky is dark and according to the voice in the airport there has been severe weather in surrounding areas. (Probably meaning a tornado) as of now no flights are leaving or arriving until it's clear. I have 2 hours until my flight...why am I so early. So hopefully mines isn't delayed! Why is airport food so expensive? lets make something $6 when in reality it only should cost $1.50 ahh logic. I'm going to go wonder the airport ✈️
I spent $9 on a sandwich 😭 I question my decisions. The plane is boarding soon and it should only leave a couple minutes late (30-50). Oh well! I have nothing to do tonight anyway. I'm reading a book called Fangirl it's interesting. I'm bored so I'm giving you every detail of my day.
haha okay I'll stop.
wheels up and you'll hear from me soon !
