Apparently it is OCTOBER 25. When did this happen!? Maybe time moves faster in the southern hemisphere. Maybe time moves faster when your life is all fun and sunshine every single day. Regardless I have a mere four weeks left but I am determined to make the most of them.

This coming week is our last week of classes. During finals week I have three papers due and two exams. If only I could get my act together and have some semblance of motivation before finals week. It's just, when your life consists of laying outside, having BBQs at the park, and eating ice cream (but seriously), there is simply no room for analyzing novels or studying types of algae. I can't be blamed.

I have two more trips planned- Byron Bay this coming weekend (thanks WashU!) and Sydney during reading week. I wish I had more time and more money to travel. I would love to go to New Zealand, Fiji, Japan, Thailand, etc. but alas, those will be postponed until I win the lottery.

My parents sent me literally three enormous bags of each of my favorite junk foods so I have been in a semi food coma for the past two weeks. The Skittles were a huge hit around here and served to reinforce the idea that Americans do everything in excess.


That's how you know you're loved.
