I have found that the blonde upkeep is a little bit too expensive for my taste. I had got it done right before I left, and then I did for my birthday, which was NOT cheap. Then my roots started going back to their dark selves, so I figured it was time to go back to my brunette self. Plus, I could use a change :)
It was my friend Jamin's 22nd birthday! So we went out to an Indian restaurant, Masala. I had never gone to an actual Indian restaurant before and it was really good! We shared a few things between us to cut the price down a little and then we got to try a couple things as well!
My friend Verena let me borrow this dress to wear to dinner, because I had nothing to wear. I really like the color and lucky for me she said she hasn't worn it forever and I can keep it :) Score!
So just like I knew it would, exams are in full swing, and time is flying by! I had my first exam on Monday and I think I did pretty good on it. Final exams are different here. At home, they are just like a normal test, in our classroom with our teacher. Here, they give you a whole speech before you enter the room, you are not to say a word once you step through the door, you have to put all your stuff in the back of the room, have to have your ID with you, and the exams are given in different random buildings all over campus, and there are cranky old people that run them- they are called "grumpy grannies." They walk around creeping on you the whole time to make sure you are not cheating. People are serious though, walking in I saw people taking out their phone batteries and taking the plastic wrapping off of their water bottles. I felt more like I was going to take my PPST education testing or something rather then a exam!
So I have two more exams next week, on Tuesday and Friday, but am done for this week! I have already started studying a ton for my next one so I can hopefully enjoy some of the weekend. This will be my next whole weekend left in Australia. Then NEXT Sunday, I fly out. At 6am! Yuck.
Countdown:
-10 days till I fly out of Australia
- 13 days till I am on Wisconsin grounds!
Cannot wait to see all my friends and family!!!
I do have mixed feelings about leaving though. Cant wait to get back to my family and friends and leave this education and work system here! But, I do know I am going to miss the tropical Queensland and the lovely people I have became friends with here a ton!
