So... here's a post I wrote on a friend's wall earlier today. It pretty much sums it up. Although, I have to make note of our chaplain, Fr. Gerry. Today, he told us that we could call him "Chappy G," and yesterday, at Mass, he was talking about Jesus being a "good bloke." Oh, I love Australia! But here goes:
Australia is AMAZING! We spent the last week in Sydney doing all the touristy stuff, and just got to Fremantle (Freo) a couple days ago. Today is our first day of orientation, and we spent the morning exploring Perth in our own form of "the amazing race". It was pretty awesome. Sunny and somewhere in the eighties... it is HOT! :) We have our awards ceremony around 4 pm (in about an hour), so then we'll get to see how we did. Umm, I don't know too many of the Portland girls really well, but yeah, I think it's a pretty good group. We also have 5 other girls from different schools living with us--including 2 from France. We also formed groups with kids from the other schools today for the race, so we met some of them--they're pretty cool too. Hmm, yeah, that's about it; probably more than you wanted to know. :) But I will say I'm glad it's all girls here (where we live): we don't have to dress up for the guys, and we get an extra bathroom! :)
Now to bed. We have 4 hours of volunteering starting at 8 am tomorrow!

Hi Katie! There were no comments on this day, so I decided to add one so you;d know someone read it. Altough it will probably be poorly spelled because Ozias is helping. He says AAAAHHH by the way. It sounds like yo're having lots of fun. I'm experiencing Australia vicariously through you, so make sure you include lots of pictures and details.
