Look Ma, I'm famous!

Forreals. Yours truly is famous. I was in the newspaper, specifically, The Fremantle Gazette. Jealous? You should be. Check it out.

How sophisticated do I look?   I know, my maturity is a little overwhelming.

Sarcasm aside, how many people can say they've been in an international newspaper? I think it's pretty cool. My excitement for the article to get published is what has kept me from posting. I wanted to wait until it came out to post (I'm a loser), so that's why I haven't blogged in a while. But a heads up, since school has actually started and I have lots of work to do, posts are probably only going to come once a week or so. I know, sad times.

Since I last posted not too much has happened. Classes as usual during the week with my internship thrown in on Tuesday, and the occasional (ha) night out. Friday we went to the Fremantle Prison for a torchlight tour which was a lot of fun. The prison is no longer in use (don't worry), I think it closed down in 1991, but I can't remember. The tour is meant to scare you, they have things that fall from the ceiling, people that pop out of solitary confinement cells, and a "ghost" who sings to you. It was a little creepy, but not that scary. But our CIEE coordinator, Paul, doesn't go on the tour anymore because an aboriginal man told him he had gone too many times and had opened himself up to the "spirits." Kindaaa funny.

One of the prisoners was allowed to paint on his walls as a way of therapy


Saturday I spent the day at the beach with Caroline. It was 73 degrees and sunny and it was soo nice to just lay on a beach and relax again. I can't wait until it starts getting warmer and we can do that more often.

Sunday was spent doing homework (boo). Then Monday and today I worked at my internship. Two days this week since I'll be gone next week on the North West Trip, which I will tell you alllll about when I get back on September 4th :)

I'll write again after the 4th.
