Aussie Update: Test
http://mjmakay.blogspot.com/2008/01/test-blog.html
Read about my adventures in Manly Beach and Sydney, Australia! Wednesday, January 30, 2008. I've never made a blog before, but I was thinking that perhaps it would be easier than emailing everyone all the time. That way if you are bored, you can pop in and see what I've been up to, but if not, I won't be bombarding you with unwanted emails all the time. The countdown is to four days until I leave. I'll be flying out of Grand Rapids on Feb. 2nd with my friend Perri, and I'm getting very excited! You bette...

Aussie Update: April 2008
http://mjmakay.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Read about my adventures in Manly Beach and Sydney, Australia! Monday, April 28, 2008. 8230;my week off from classes! Sounds like a great way to loose money to me…. Anywho, I didn’t play Two-Up. We, the Standard Six, as we’ve been dubbed, (Perri, Kari, Dana, Joanie, Jillian and myself) headed over to the Blue Mountains for the day. We had arranged a 6.30am (yikes! Taxi to pick us up, but it never showed! We drove around to Central and Museum train stops to pick up the other passengers and were on our way!

Read about my adventures in Manly Beach and Sydney, Australia! Saturday, February 16, 2008. The first week of classes are officially over. I’ve got four classes, twice a week for two hours apiece. But in traditional, lazy (they say it, not me! Probably half of my class taught a slide, and at the end of the class he mentioned that he hoped by the end of the semester that everyone could portray the equivalent of my charisma and confidence. (! Pretty cool, huh? Friday was my first official beach day! Just d...

Sunday, April 27, 2008. Where Did April Go? Where do I even begin! Its been quite a while since I have updated you, sorry! I’ve been busy! I have 12 days until I leave the land down under… its going to be very bittersweet. But I really don’t want to talk about that, so I will tell you what has been going on! Well, on April 4. I went with Dana and Scottie to the Maroon 5 concert. Brandi Carlisle opened, and then. They were absolutely fantastic, but definitely did not play for long enough! And Design, and ...

G'Day Mate!: And then there was an Alligator
http://perrisaustralia.blogspot.com/2008/02/and-then-there-was-alligator.html
Tuesday, February 12, 2008. And then there was an Alligator. So I will start this off telling you that I did receive my luggage Wednesday evening! We ended up going to the airport to get money because our bags were lost for over 48 hours… and they gave us $350 each! It was pretty much worth not having the luggage, as annoying as it was. Also, a few of you have been asking for my address, so here it is:. International College of Management Sydney. Perri Neirman – #14158 – Room 216. Manly, NSW 2095. Thurs:...

Aussie Update: G'day!
http://mjmakay.blogspot.com/2008/02/gday.html
Read about my adventures in Manly Beach and Sydney, Australia! Thursday, February 7, 2008. Well everybody, I’ve made it down under! And based on the adventures we had just getting down here, I’m positive there won’t be a dull moment this entire trip. Once the plane was de-iced, we were on our way. I sat on the window, enjoying the absolutely delicious complimentary food and drinks. (Did you know that they charge for food now in economy on domestic flights? A nice airport shuttle said he’d take us&#...

Aussie Update: Photographs galore!
http://mjmakay.blogspot.com/2008/02/photographs-galore.html
Read about my adventures in Manly Beach and Sydney, Australia! Tuesday, February 26, 2008. Well, things have most definitely gotten a little busier down here, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! Another week of class is done, and the third is underway. I still don’t have my books or my uniform. I’ve pretty much given up hope! On Sunday the 17. We had our sunset harbor cruise of. 8230;which, with our luck, turned into a cloudy-sky-with-spattering-rain-showers cruise. We modified them into basically gian...

Aussie Update: First day of classes!
http://mjmakay.blogspot.com/2008/02/first-day-of-classes.html
Read about my adventures in Manly Beach and Sydney, Australia! Monday, February 11, 2008. First day of classes! The last two days of O-Week were mainly surf safety and team building. On Thursday I participated in surf safety in the middle of what most of us would consider quite a severe thunderstorm. Maybe it’s just me…but shouldn’t a surf safety class include not going into a large body of water in the middle of a thunderstorm? Absolutely ridiculous. That kind of killed the evening, to say the least.
