oh how much I miss "the land down under" . . . . . . . .

I love Sydney.  I miss the weather.  I miss the people.  I'll be back in Sydney hopefully in May - June again.  Until then . . . .

Just spoke with Abraham on the phone.  I miss the aussie accent.  His accent kills me. 

I call australia home - the home away from home. . . . . 

Lindsay, Mike and I have come up with a plan to move back when we graduate.  Its on. 

Jack Johnson is the man  . . . .

Roommate Marcs a.k.a Myrtles Birthday soon.  21.  Thats dangerous.  I gotta go call the police to warn them. 

I remember just sitting there with the girls in my apartment.  Empty as anything looking at them and they stare back at me.  They start to see a glassy glare in my eye.  I blink for a split second and thats when the tear drop fell down my face.  The tears then became contagious.  That I no longer wanted to board my flight for the 9th and I wanted to come home later.  I'm going to miss those girls. 

The smell of our apartment every morning when I wake up.  I'm going to miss waking up and just walking straight into the bathroom and towards my left is my roommate Norm who is the true epitome of rise and shine in the morning.  Or my roommate myrtles wit.  His stupid ASU wit.  His infamous quote of which norm wrote on our fridge.  "Alcohol is not a depresant, it's the lack of alcohol."  Which I must say is true.  Walking in from a long day of classes and seeing the three stoges on the couch just rippin it morning and night.  Right norm, myrtle and raider? 

I walked into Newark Airport today at 11:00pm because the flight got delayed a little and my brother came to pick me up with his girlfriend.  Once I saw them, I started crying.  Couldn't help it.  Its an amazing feeling to see a familar face but at the same time wished I wasn't home.  (oh and by the way I left sydney at a steaming 90 degrees and when I get back here its fricken 40 - OH HOW MUCH I MISS SYDNEY).

So I guess I can close this chapter in my life and look back at the past 5 months in Sydney and smile.  Smile because I shouldn't be sad that it ended.  I should be smiling because I had this opportunity.  I can call Australia home because there were so many memories that I look back at and cherish.  That I'll never forget this experince and the people whom I shared it with.  Thank you. 

ROCK ON AUSTRALIA -  we come from a land down under

PARKLANDS UNIT 2 WHAT?!!  (and as i'm writing this, June and Jane are sitting in my apartment by themselves since all of us have left already in our apartment.  They're just hanging out there because so many memories have happened in our apartment)

a really good friend told me, "what was once old is new again" (it really is norm)

back from fiji yesterday - amazing.  Partied it up with a couple of people back at Macquarie Uni here and we were all hungover on the island the next morning.  But it was so much fun seeing drunk people skinny dip.  Especially their white asses.  Came back to the apartment.  All the roommates are gone which i miss oh so very much.  I LOVE YOU GUYS.  and then leaving oz tomorrow to go home!.  I'm going to miss this place.  But everyones home so i'm meeting up with everyone when i get home.  I'm going to organize my pictures on webshots when i get a chance and add the other 1000 that i have.  Heres to the end of the best semester of my life!

So i'm back in a couple of weeks.  Sad enough.  A 22 hour flight back home won't be as anticipating as it was coming here.  I'll fly back by myself reminscing about the past 4.5 months.  Lindsay from upstairs left today.  I didn't cry but she sure as heck did.  But we're going to see each other in December when she comes down to Jersey to go Snowboarding. 

I'm done with finals and i'm done with school for the year.  Traveling to Fiji in 6 days and chilling out there for 5 days.  My intentions are just to relax it out on the beaches and go from island to island before I make my journey home. 

Happy Thanksgiving.  Had a great Thanksgiving here with some crazy people and celebrating it yet again today with my crazy roommate Marc.  Its just going to be me and him chilling out but hes doing all the cooking. 

All my pictures are posted up and updated so check them out besides the pictures from botanical gardens by the opera house because I want to go home and blow them up so no ones seeing those. 

So i'm writing this while i'm drnk in Junes apartment.  We're all hammered. 2 weeks left to go!  Whats up guys?!  I'm with Tiffany, Matt, June and Jane chullin in the apartment on a Saturday night.  Everyone else went out but we decided not to go out because i'm beginning to think i'm going broke soon enough.  I"m going to Fiji in about 2 weeks.  I ended up talkinh to Drew tonight.  he came over and he said, "Cynthia, Don'tbemad at me" and i said talk to me when your sober dude."  If your close to me and you know me enough you'd know the story of what happend in the past three dyas.  So mcuch drama.  Anyways so we eventually tok a walk and we talked about evrything.  That he said he was sorry gfor punching me and that he didn't delibertly mean to do it and he meant to hit him instead.  He eneded up touching my face telling me that he would never mean to do such a thing since he's cared for me for the past 4 months of being here.  Hes funny.  HAHAHAHAHA.  That he waold never want to jepordize our friendship.  EMAILING.  wasdkfjakls;!!  PAUHHFHFHWWW!!
