YAY! A NEW POST!

Hey guys!
Sorry it's been so freaking long. I don't have internet access AT school...so I have to make my way into the little town of Bowral to get emails and update this lil blogger.

Things have been totally amazing here. I arrived on January 28th and basically spent the day settling in. That whole week was "orientation"...aka rules etc...kinda boring, but I guess it needed to be done.
THIS week however, was WAY more interesting....I have an idea...here's a "day-in-the-life-of-Barb" thinger...

6:ooam...I wake up and get ready. I usually have about an extra half hour just to sit and have tea. A little morning chat with God while looking over the river in the BEAUTIFUL Southern Highlands of Australia.
Brekkie is at 7:30am....toast and cereal..EVERYDAY...gets monotonous...but yummy because I have SO much vegemite.
Lectures go from about 8:30am to about 12:30pm....with Morning Tea at about10:30am...Lunch is at 1pm...and then we're off from lunch to Tea..which is at 6pm. After tea we usually have another lecture starting at 7:30pm and ending at 8:15pm....except Fri-Sun because thats the weekend....Curfew is at 10:30 on weekdays....midnight on weekends....Wednesdays are different because its WORK DAY! YIPPEE! We have to clean everything and do gardening and ... basically everything that you could wanna do at a house gets done by the 52 students once a week.

That is my bubble.
I love it.

In fact....I wanna stay for second semester...except Im poor...so feel free to sponsor me if you'd like! :D

I have made some AMAZING friends here...I have Sarah, Shereen, Melissa and Rochelle...like my best buddies....Along with Kevin and Evan and Joel..
That is my groupie pack....but I love everyone here and I would really love to put all of their names in that. It's so inspiring to be able to be with a bunch of christians 24/7 knowing that they are praying for you and that they're there for you no matter what. My roomate (also named Melissa....) is awesome as well...Things probably couldn't be better...

....and I know you girls are wondering.....

....no I don't have a husband yet.....
