the end (of lectures)!

Hooray! Today was my last day of lectures, and tomorrow I'm headed to Sydney to meet Dad! This week has been a bit hectic, with essays to turn in and a dirty flat to clean. This afternoon I had the pleasure of cleaning the fridge - a task that took almost an hour. It was foul! Tonight I attended Wine Club with my friends Tori and Chris, and we tasted "Wines of the Empire" - in other words, wines from NZ, Australia, and South Africa. Apparently the "motherland" does not make sufficiently good wines for us to bother with.

Over the next two weeks, I should have internet access (thanks to Dad's mad hotel-booking skills) so I'll try to post when I can. Here's our ridiculous itinerary:

June 10 - meet in Sydney

June 12 - fly to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for one night (we had to stop there on our way, and we're going to see a friend I met on my first flight from Atlanta to Los Angeles in February)

June 13 - fly to Bangkok, and avoid mosquitoes (and malaria)

June 15 - fly to Beijing (and see my dear friend Grace from Wake Forest)

June 21 - fly to Taipei, Taiwan to meet up with cousin Bill

June 24/25 - fly overnight to Sydney, then to Auckland, then to Christchurch
