I am SO EXCITED because in two days I will be getting on a 7 am flight to Broome, Western Australia! That means getting up at 415 AM!  I went shopping today to get supplies for the trip- mostly to hand-me-down stores because we need shorts, t-shirts and shoes that will be thrown away. We also need a special sunscreen and bug spray (It will be 100 degrees the WHOLE time), and a hat to be worn at all times. We haven't been told anything about the trip other than we are not allowed to bring cell phones or watches. We will be cooking our own food, sleeping in tents and learning from an aboriginal tribe. Rumor has it that we eat TURTLE and ride camels on the beach! Hopefully my camera lasts the whole week because I will be taking SO many pictures! I will gone Sept 24th- Sept 30. The following day we leave for our Roadtrip..

 Our first plan was to roadtrip along the southern coast of Western Australia but then switched our plans and are now going north.. we wanted it to be warm! We rented three vans (ALL manuals YIKES) that the boys will be driving.. each has room for 4 people, a bed, and camping equipment... we are packing food and one backpack each.. And thats all I really know right now!

FILM= We had our big TV package due in film class this week. We went to a tattoo parlor in Fremantle and interviewed Mark, an australian tattoo artist. We have different shots around the parlor, Mark sketching and then actually tattooing someone. We each had different roles making the film- Martha edited the film, Louise wrote the script, Elise filmed and I was the interviewer. It was very fun and our professor seemed to like it!

 For community dinner last week all of the students from Africa prepared a traditional meal.  It was the BEST community dinner yet- a dish of a fried egg, rice and vegetables in an amazing sauce... :)

 Well, my theology oral exam is OVER and I am so glad... He asked you ONE question and you had to sit for 5 minutes and just talk.. mine was.. describe Revelation in Vatican II. I thought I did pretty well but I can't even imagine my answer compared to what all of the priests in my class had to say!!!

 There has been a full out prank war between the boys and girls at the p&o hotel this semester. It all started off with Jake putting my BED on the ROOF. I came into my room one day and my bed was just gone. I asked everyone where it was and no one would tell me for about an hour... I am walking along the balcony and spot my bed on the roof..... they all just thought it was SO FUNNY and we took a couple pictures..Well then I decided since Jake and Bob leave their room open to mess around with their computer screensavers and facebook accounts. They were not too happy. Next, Jake and Ryan took every single book from the P&O library and filled the door frame of Elissa and Emily's room. When they opened their door in the morning they could only see a wall of books and they all tumbled down.. which could have knocked them out! Next, the girls took every clothing item that Peter owns so that in the morning he would have to come to class in his pajamas.. and he came to class and we all were sitting there with his clothes on!! That one was the best yet... so now the girls are waiting to see what will happen..

 

Last wednesday at the Orient Bar downstairs, they hosted an ABC party (anything but clothes) you have to make an outfit out of well.. anything but normal clothes! I will post a couple pictures of what people made... martha and I came to take pictures because we didn't have time during the day to make outfits because of our film editing 

Tomorrow night I am going to a concert at a place like the Target Center in Downtown Perth to see The Script!! One of my favorite bands right now... I am going with Micah, Elissa and Katie after our Senior Seminar

Well, I wont be writing for about two weeks after my two big trips !!!

Love

Abbie
