Right now I am on the first week of a two-week break from school. Five weeks of classes are complete, five more weeks remain (with one day a week spent in practicum) and then I have five weeks of full-time practicum and the semester is over. It's flying by and I think it will just go by faster when I'm actually teaching. So I hope to take advantage of my time off and see a bit more of the local area. The weather has been a lot nicer lately and Friday night we went to Mooloolaba Beach to have Thai food and watch some fireworks over the ocean. Saturday we went to an outlet mall outside of Brisbane to find some clothes for teaching (and I got a new bathing suit for $10!). I went to Brisbane on Sunday for a rugby game: Brisbane Broncos versus New Zealand Warriors. It was actually really exciting, even though the Broncos kind of suck. I'm looking forward to going to more games.
Broncos game at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. I'm glad we were sitting in a shaded area.
And Tuesday I saw Alice in Wonderland in 3D:
I liked the glasses.
It was good. I definitely recommend it. The rest of the break will include a boat tour, koala sanctuary, Easter potluck dinner and egg hunt, the Gold Coast, and lots of beach days. I'll post updates and pictures along the way.
Feel free to email me at vanderburgt.jennifer@gmail.com or jmv006@student.usc.edu.au, too. I'd love to hear updates from you as well!
