About this blog

I fell in love with Australia when I spent a semester abroad in Sydney during college. I vowed to myself that I would find some way to return to this beautiful, laid-back country. Three years later, I have a full scholarship to the University of New South Wales to earn my Master's degree in Applied Linguistics! Join me as I reacquaint myself with life Down Under, and try to balance study time and beach time...
