Sweet As...

Here is one of my favorite slang words that I have heard in Australia: Sweet As: (Translation) "I confirm that what you are proposing is good by me"



Well here I am, it’s my final day here in Newcastle. I can’t believe how fast the time has gone! It feels like I have really only been here for just over a month. Then again when I get back to thinking about sand boarding, skydiving, and even spring break feels so long ago!



I took all of my exams this past week and was able to hang out with several of my friends this weekend. It was sad though because I had to start say goodbye to so many of my now good friends. What makes it harder is knowing that I may never see some of them again. I have made some of the best friends I here during my time and my goal is to stay in contact with them. Tonight will be the hardest of all the goodbyes so far because I will be saying it to so many of my close friends here on campus.


I keep thinking that as I am packing up for home and Fiji that I will be coming back to Edward’s Hall just like I would be after any other or my times travelling here in Australia. Eventually it will hit me, but when will that be, as I am laying on a beach in Fiji, during my last 2 nights spent in Sydney, when I sit in the airport terminal to go home in Sydney on the 28th, the plane ride home, or will it ever fully hit? One thing I do know for sure is that if I ever make it back to Australia it won’t ever be the same as my first time. If I return to Newcastle it won’t be for school, the people would be different, and I would probably be here just on vacation.

Here are some pictures from my last few days here in Newcastle hanging out with my friends. I can’t wait to update you all on my 10 days in Fiji, 2 final nights in Sydney, and guess what 2 weeks from now I’ll be home! See you all soon!
