Update

Hey everyone,
It has been awhile again. There isn't anything too exciting to write about, so I'll see what I can come up with. We are sadly, nearing the end. A little over a month to go, I can't believe it! It seems like we just got here. We travel up north to Cairns before we leave. We are finishing our Oz Experience bus trip. We hope to go scuba diving and sailing. We'll see how much money we have when we get there I guess. We both vowed not to take out any more money until we leave...we'll see how that works out.

On a good note, it has finally stopped raining. Although, on those rainy days Michelle and I had fun making different food items. Michelle likes to just make up recipies and surprisingly enough, most of them have turned out very good. She just tells me what to put in and how much. Some stuff we've made on those rainy days include, brownies, lemon cake, bread, granola, choc-chip cookies (they don't turn out very good if you don't have enough sugar), bran muffins, scones, and today we made pikelets. They are just like little pancakes with more sugar and milk. Nick told us they are a pretty popular Australian breakfast food. You can eat them with ice cream, with jam and whipped cream, or maple syrup or just about anything actually. We can get pretty bored around here sometimes, so we have to keep ourselves busy.

What we should be doing is homework. Both Michelle and I have a lot of it in the next 2 weeks. I think I will get to know the library a little better in a day or two. We have over 20 days to schedule and take our finals and the nice people that they are, schedules 2 of my finals on the same day...ugh. All I can say is I can't wait until it is over with!!

We both will be ready to leave, but of course we will dearly miss Australia and all the people we've met here and on our travels. We've come across people from many different cultures and have learned alot about them and their way of life. This is truely a great experience and we are very grateful for it. Hopefully you've all gotten a little taste of it by reading this blog...

Oh, we saw Kingdom of Heaven for $5.40. It was good.

Home remedy for cold sores: Nail polish remover. Apply with Q-tip. Ask Michelle if it worked!!

Well better go before Michelle sees what I wrote. Love ya and miss ya all!

Hilary and Michelle
