Awesome life

I haven't updated awhile because I've finally been busy with my internship. I work at Spectrum Communications doing public relations and marketing work. It's in North Sydney and is not too far from the ACU campus. I get to pass the Opera Houseand go over the Sydney Harbor bridge everyday for school and work. I'll definitely miss that when my trip is over. Everyday is different, but I usually work on media monitoring reports, go to meetings, look at magazines for client mentions, and site visits for events. Everyone there is so nice and laid back.  Almostof all of their clients are in the tech industry so I read a lot of tech-based magazines to try to learn more about it. This is their website that probably explains what they do better than I do.

I usually work there around 25 hours a week and I'm taking three classes: intercultural communication, international marketing, and ourmandatory internship class. The classes are 3 hours long, which is painful. The only reliable Internet I have is at work and occasionally on campus unless I want to go to a cafe and pay for a coffee.

The weekend I went to Port Stephens which is 2 hours north of Sydney with 5 other girls for a day trip. We went to a wildlife park where they had a lot ofr eptiles which were gross. My favorite part of the park was that there was a kangaroo with a joey in her pouch that came up to me that I got
to feed.

After, we went on a dolphin watching cruise out in the bay.

Halfway through they lower a net into the ocean that hangs from the boat and you're basically sitting in the ocean. A couple of dolphins came right up to the net and just hung out for awhile. It was amazing.

 For the end of the trip we went sandboarding. They take you on an RV out into the sand dunes thatare massive and you get to sled/board down them. You have to climb back up the dune yourself each time so I only made it 4 times down, but I'd love to go again. A huge storm was on the horizon as we were finishing up on the dunes and it began to downpour a few minutes after we got on the bus. It was the perfect day.

On the 18th a big group went on a wine tasting tour in Hunter Valley, which was fun. I haven't done anything like that before so it was nice to know more about wine. The amazing views didn't hurt either. Reminded a lot of Jurassic Park not going to lie. That's probably me and my roommates had a dinosaur photo shoot or just because we're really weird.

Time is going by so fast here. It feels like I've only been here for 2 weeks, but its already been a over month. I'm sure I'll be back in the frozen tundra before I know it.
