Whaddup, October has come and gone. Halloween is FAR from taking hold down under, making November 1 a regular teaching day (sorry, my Canadian counter parts!). This month felt FULL of activities with my friends, from coming home from our Stuart Highway trip (3600 km in 9 days!) with Sydney, to finishing up term 2 courses and celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving with all the Canucks down under.

Only a baby post to wrap up April, probably because I was only home for 10 nights of the whole thing – this girl’s been making tracks! My time in Australia is going faster than ever, and here I am trying to soak up every single second.

November has come and gone in the blink of an eye! It was a less busy month for work, between Melbourne Cup day and my trip to the Whitsundays I was basically working part-time, with only two full weeks of work over the course of the month.
