So....this is my blog. It's about me. And Australia. And maybe some kangaroos. Perhaps me riding some kangaroos.... who really knows? Anything could happen "Down Under"....
As you probably already know, I'm spending my fall semester down in Sydney. I'll be there July 19th - sometime in November/December. While there, I'll be taking a number of different classes on the culture/history/politics of Australia in addition to a few art specific courses. I'll also be volunteering at a local nursing home - reading to the Aussie folk there and leading activities (I'm sure I'll come back an amazing BINGO caller. wait...do they have BINGO there? maybe it's called DINGO...) - as a part of my study abroad experience. Guess what...I have an Aussie "mum" for the semester! During my stay, I will be living (along with three other U.S. students) with an Australian woman named Gail at her apartment. Gail works at a local hospital and has hosted U.S. students since the program began.
I'm not exactly sure how much I'll be on the internet while there, but hopefully I'll be able to keep this blog updated about every week or so (with photos, i promise!). If you'd like to get ahold of me while I'm down under, the email address that I'll be checking regularly is jen.poppinga@student.indwes.edu. And then, of course, there's always snail mail. I love to get letters!
