Finals
This week was the final week of our first block of classes, so I spent a lot of my time studying for my final exam and working on my final project. I did most of my studying at the Leaf Cafe down the street from our hotel. Their handcrafted cranberry lime sodas got me through some long study sessions.
Weekend in Melbourne
On Friday we left Sydney for Melbourne. Our flight was delayed, so by the time we landed we were starving. So, Stella, Lauren, and I went out for some late night Indian food and 7/11 slurpees. We ended the night by playing some cards before heading to bed.
Saturday morning we went on a walking tour of Melbourne. We were able to see a lot of the city and get to learn about the history and culture of the area. We then went shopping in Melbourne’s malls and arcades. We had some dumplings for dinner.
Sunday morning we went to Tori’s for coffee. We then walked and went to the Queen Victoria gardens. They were beautiful and filled with flowers and animals. After that we walked across the street to the Victoria Art Gallery. There we were able to see beautiful 12th-18th century art. We left the museum and took the tram to Fitzroy where we went to the markets and got French food for dinner.
