Love this life

Hi Hi-

Wow. It's been awhile since I've written hasn't it. Sorry about that everyone, I've just been super busy. I have so much stuff to update you on, so get excited! Haha. Friday was probably my favorite day in Aussie thus far. Jason, Kim and I decided to go to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary (none of us have class on Friday). It was AMAZING. I had a smile on my face the whole time we were there. There were SOOOO many different kinds of animals, we had such a fun day. Some highlights from my day there. I took zillions of pictures of cockatoos, cookabaras, lizards, bats, wombats, tasmanian devils, crocodiles and dingoes! The best part of my day was when I got actually hold and have a picture taken with a KOALA! How awesome is that! His name was Mr. Peabody and he honestly was the cutest, softest and most adorable creature I've ever seen. I wanted to just give him a huge hug, I wish you could have all been there to see it! I didn't want to let him go. I have pics of this too though so don't worry, you will be seeing them soon! We also got to go into the Kangaroo Plantation. There were kangaroos, wallabies and joeys EVERYWHERE. I got to feed and touch so many cute, little jumpy kangaroos. They are so cute when they eat out of your hand, ahh so much fun! To wrap up this awesome day, as we were walking out of the sanctuary I hear this cookabara say "goodbye" to me. So I return the favor and say "bye" back to him. He goes on to ask me to "scratch" and opens his wings and lets me pet his feathers. It was adorable and we got so many pictures of it. Come on, how many people get to say that a cookabara asked them to scratch their feathers, I DO! haha. Honestly one of the best days of my life. Oh fun fact for you all. Tons of celebs and famous people go to this Koala Sanctuary and there was a picture of Taylor Swift on the wall, so I asked the woman working there if she got to meet Taylor and she goes on to tell me that she was there the day before me! Taylor Swift is in Aussie, I'm going to find her! haha. (Be expecting pictures up soon of this day.) Today was a lazy day. I have tons of homework to do and articles to read so I'm just spending the day at my house catching up on schoolwork (it sucks but it has to get done). This week coming up the girls have planned a trip to Byron Bay so we are getting super excited about that. Oh! Other cool information. I got a package in the mail Friday from Mom and it had a stuffed animal bear in there (that I named Mr. Peabody after my koala friend, hehe) and HSM 3!! She sent me the movie so me and the girls can watch it while we are over here! How cool right! Ahh I was so excited. Oh, had quick an interesting morning today. So I really stink at cooking (I need to take a class or something) and actually set the fire alarm off in the house today trying to cook a cheeseburger. I felt so bad because my two roomies came FLYING out of their rooms in their pajamas and were trying to help me turn off the alarm. It was quite funny. I'm so stupid. I think I'll just stick to PB & J's from now on haha. Oh lord Amanda. Well that's all the news for now but I'll hopefully have some interesting stories soon to come! Love you all and stay beautiful.
