That's all folks! (At least for an undergrad degree!)

I've finished! WOO HOO! I'm done! Kaput! Finito! Say goodbye to being an undergraduate! Yay! It's over.

By the way, my final assessment today was a real let down. Come on, its my last assessment, my first exam ever (in my uni career) and I finished it in fifteen minutes! It was a three page short answer test! Seriously.

So, here I am, procrastinating again, I should be packing... actually I really should be packing... I'm going to do that it just a sec, but I wanted to share the love I have for Penn with you. I know you want it ;)

These last few weeks have flown by, and here I am getting all sentimental and teary (well, I haven't cried yet, but it will come...) for a place that I have called home for the past five months. It has been an inredible experience - I highly recommend to any student who loves travelling, meeting new people and having one of the best experiences of their lives. Exchange is one of the best ways to immerse yourself in a culture completely different to the one you're familiar with. Yeah, we all say that Australia is becoming America's 51st state (or 52nd, of you count Puerto Rico) but that is so far from the truth. Perhaps our foreign policy might echo that of the United States, but I feel that's where the similarities end. We are smaller, younger country still trying to find our position in the world - coz living here has made me realise that Australia really is at the end of the world - perhaps the world's ass hole? Isolated and far away from the rest of the world's mess... whether we like it or not. But I don't have time right now to muse on about the differences and similarities between Australia and America, nor to reflect on my time here...

I'll just show you some photos that I took during this past week. Enjoy.
These are taken at Smokes, which I went to on Friday night, Saturday night, Monday night, Tuesday night and Wednesday night! Arghhhh! Talk about becoming a regular!(Photos are: Maija (aussie) Kate (brit)& I, Me & Kate, Nadeige (roommate) and Robyn (Nadeige's friend from Miami),
James (friend that spent 2 years in Iraq as a US soldier on active duty.. phwoar!) and Amma, Me James & Amma... and that's us at smokes!















These pics are taken at the Penn relays, one of the biggest (and oldest) track meets in the world - track athletes come from all over the world to compete at the Franklin Field at Penn - high school students, college kids and Olympic level athletes. Pretty cool, no? This is was the 112th event. We went on Saturday, the day where olympic athletes compete in a tournament "USA versus THE WORLD" Go world! Unfortunately, some Americans think that "Hey, we are the world." Pfft!

That's the Philly city skyline in the background....
























And these are random photos taken for the sake of documentation of crazy times....










Well, not really. It's just me and Krystal. I'm going to visit her in Texas on Monday. Can't wait! Go Bush country!



Not.
