I thought I would write a quick note to everyone reading! I've been very busy and haven't always had access to internet so I apologize for being a horrible blogger. Everything is going well. I'm definitely starting to notice the homesickness, which I've heard kicks in after the second week being away from everyone you know! This weekend I got to see the farm where the movie Babe was filmed which was absolutely beautiful! I also met a lot of new college aged students that are also studying abroad at a local christian college who mainly come from Canada. It's funny how everyone here assumes that Canada and the United States are the same place.

School is going great. I'm starting to teach more and next week I'm going to be switching to a year 6 class which will be a big change from year 2. I'll try to post more later this week! Enjoy the pictures from Babe's Farm! I'm finally going to the beach Sunday :) My host teacher offered to take me all the way to Sydney, so that will be fun and hopefully you'll see some pretty pictures.
