I'm finally starting to get some school work, though none of it is due soon so it is really hard to get the motivation to do it. Plus, it's been hard to get the motivation to do anything because the weather has been quite gross. We've had the wettest winter in the past 10 years or something, but it looks like the sun will be out for awhile now. For the next week its 60s and sunny, which is my favorite weather.
Plus, nice weather gives me motivation to go outside and do stuff. I've been pretty good about exercising the past few days and I hope to keep it up all semester. They have some good exercise classes at the gym. One is called Body Pump and everyone here is pretty obsessed with it- it's hard but they play music and it's a good work out. I joined the Outdoor Club and I went indoor rock climbing the past two Wednesdays and kayaking on the river last weekend (it's harder than it looks!). Kayaking was fun, but I had to capsize and the water was quite cold since it's winter here! But I need to practice because I hope to go on kayaking and rock climbing trips at some point.
There is a lot of amazing scenery here. Last week I saw the sunset at the beach, which was beautiful; I love sunsets over the ocean. I've gone for a few runs along the river, the view is beautiful. One night last week a few of us went for a walk along the river at night to take pictures. My pictures couldn't capture the beauty of the night view of the Perth skyline, but I did get some pretty good ones. We've had a few events here at Tommie More. There was a formal dinner last weekend and last night we had an Informal BBQ where the Americans dressed like Australians and the Australians dressed like Americans. Most of the Australians wore either ND clothes or sweatshirts. So I've been pretty busy, there is usually something to do and lots that I still haven't seen.
