Monday October 6th: Today I woke up at 6:45am and read my bible, checked my emails and northern classes, and texted the family. Then Ryan and I brought Celest her birthday cake. After breakfast I studied for my auditing test until2pm. Then I fell asleep for an hour. When I woke up I studied one more hour before my auditing test. It took two hours to take my test. Afterwards I went and talked with Ryan for a little bit and then came back and studied accounting theory until 8:30pm. Then Ryan and I watched a movie.
Tuesday October 7th: Today I woke up at
6:45am to shower and get ready for the day. I then read my bible and looked at
my notifications until Ryan came over. We then went to Kristy’s room and talked
with her until it was time to go to Celest’s birthday breakfast. We went to the
Chat Room Café. It was a cute little café and good food and coffee. Quite a few
people showed up for her birthday so it was fun! Then when we got back I went
to the library to ask if they would buy back textbooks, but they don’t. So I
went to the residence office and she said she will see what they can do and I’m
to come back tomorrow. When I got to my room I updated and uploaded photos to my
computer. Then I studied accounting theory until 1. I then tanned until 2, when
I headed to the gym to bike and do plank routine. When I got back to my room I
looked at my northern classes and studied non-profit accounting for a while.
Then I wrote out all my accounting theory on note cards, so it’ll be easier to
study and I did that until 10pm.
Wednesday October 8th: Today I woke up
at 6:45am and read my bible. Then I tried reconnecting my computer to the
internet but couldn’t. After breakfast and asking around, I got my computer to
reconnect to the internet in time to log into my collaborate session for non-
profit. But I realized I calculated the time zones wrong and it wasn’t for
another two hours. So then I went to the library to print off my non- profit
notes and my flight itinery. I then
talked to Kristy and she said she would love to sell my textbooks for me. Then
I got back to my room and logged on again for our collaborate session which
lasedt an hour and 15 minutes. Then I studied non-profit for a little bit before
I laid out to tan. AT 2, Ryan and I headed to the gym. I aqua jogged for a half
hour and then did ball routine. On our way back we stopped at the JCR to sign
all the international kids’ flags. Afterwards I showered and studied non-
profit a little more and then took the test. When I got done with the test I
went over to Ryan’s room and talked with him for a little bit. When I came back
I studied accounting theory for the rest of the night.
Thursday October 9th: Today I woke up
at 6:45am and read my bible. Then I read over my accounting theory note cards
before breakfast. After breakfast I kept studying my accounting theory. After a
while I took a study break and started packing my stuff up. Then I went back to
studying accounting theory until 2pm. At 2, I headed to the gym to bike and do
an ab workout. Afterwards I showered and then did the last little bit of
laundry I had and kept studying accounting theory. At 5:30, Ryan came to my
room and had me come out to the kitchen. He had made me peanut butter, banana,
chocolate chip pancakes, eggs, and sausage; it was so good. We did the dishes
and then around 7pm I started studying accounting theory until 9pm.
Friday October 10th: Today I woke up at
5am and headed to the gym to bike and do an ab workout. When I got back I

because she was leaving at 7 for Sydney. I then studied accounting theory until
breakfast. After breakfast I studied accounting theory until 11:45. Then I went
to Ryan’s room and we headed to dinner. They had a bbq outside for dinner today
which was good! Then I got back to my room and looked over my accounting theory
until 1:15. Then I started the hike to the gym for my test. When I got there I
stood there for about 10min until people started lining up to be seated and
realized I forgot to bring my student ID card and without it I can’t sit for my
exam, so I sprinted back to my room which is a half mile away. So when I got
back I was out of breathe and sweaty and the lady who checked my ID thought I
was crazy. But then I went into the gym and I didn’t know where to sit so I had
to go up in front of everyone and ask the lady where my seat was. We found my seat
and I got through a three hour test in an hour and 20min. Then I went to the
gym to say goodbye to Katelin and Hayden. Then I went back to my room and
showered and then packed everything up and brought it to Ryan’s room. I then
checked out of my room and Ryan and I went to supper. After supper I said
goodbye to everyone and met Celest at the office. Celest dropped me off around
6:20pm and I checked in. My flight to Brisbane left at 8pm and we arrived in
Brisbane around 9:15pm. I then camped out in the airport for the night.

in at 4:30am and my plane left at 6:30am. I landed in Melbourne at 9:30am but
they had a time change so it was actually 10:30 and my next flight to Los
Angelos left at 12. This flight was for 13 hours and 45minutes. When I landed
in LA at 8:30am I had to go through customs and recheck in my luggage. My next
flight left at 10:45am to Minneapolis. I got to Minneapolis at 4:30pm. I then
got my luggage and then looked for my family who were waiting for me at the
other end of the airport. But I was so happy to see them, they had signs and
everything. It was awesome to see them!!! Australia was a great experience but
it feels great to be home!
