Midterm Week

(This map shows most of places I am going over the break. The first week we will be going to Northhampton, Kalbarri, Shark Bay, Coral Bay, and Exmouth. And, then the second week to Albany!)

As this week is midterm week, I have actually spent a lot of time working on papers and studying for my math midterm, which is tomorrow (friday) afternoon. I am the only student from our class who is taking the midterm before break; every one else is taking it two weeks from tomorrow, which is during our two week break. This week has been long and hard, but I know it is going to be worth it because I won't have to worry about studying over the break!

Now, as for the exciting part, I am going on two main trips over the break. The first week I am traveling up the west coast with a big tour group. Jenn, Matt, and I signed up for the trip together. We will be going to a lot of national parks and beaches. We also are going to the famous Monkey Mia, and there we will be able swim with Dolphins! The farthest north we go is Exmouth, and then we travel back down the coast and stop at a few other places. I am also excited because it will be warmer up north, and it actually is starting to cool down in Perth. Today the high was about 75 F I think, which is a big change from Febuary and most of March when the temperature was in the upper 80's and 90's.

Then, the second week of break, Jenn and I are going to Albany, which is about a 5 hours southeast of Perth. We will take the bus down, and it will probably be about a 6 hour bus ride. When we arrive, we will stay at our friend Rhys's house. We met him through Matt because Rhys is one of Matt's roomates. I am not exactly sure what will will be doing in Albany, but I know it will be fun :)
