This week school is in full swing, with all class and labs meeting. My workload is starting to pick up and its starting to feel more like school and not vacation. Today its been a month since I’ve landed in Australia, its only seems like a week or two. Its been great getting to know everybody here in Tommy More. Everyday I meet someone new here.
This week was our first formal dinner at Tommy More. I wasn’t really sure what to expect but it turned out to be a really fun evening. Formal dinners at Tommy More always start off with Catholic Mass since the Catholic Church runs the residential college. We proceeded to mingle outside the dining hall and take lots of pictures while some wine and other drinks were provided. Inside we were served steak, eggs, shrimp, which was really good. After the dinner there was a party down the street at one of the residential colleges. There were a ton of people there maybe 400-500.
On Saturday I embarked with 8 other people on an adventure to the town of Mandurah. Mandurah is about an hour south of Perth by train. This weekend there was a crab festival, which brought many people to the town. We decided to rent a boat for 3 hours and go out into the bay. We got to drive the boat wherever we wanted, so we were able to see a lot of the beautiful houses that sit by the water. That evening there were fireworks so our group decided to stay for them and they were well worth it.
I’m in the process of putting together a Spring Break trip up North to the Ningaloo Reef, which is like the Great Barrier Reef, except better because less tourists visit it. Spring break is only 6 weeks away!
