Easter Weekend & Travel Plans

Hey everyone,

I've been pretty busy with a lot of things lately so I haven't really had time to write. It's wednesday and I don't have class until 6 so I thought I'd try to maybe upload some pictures. Amie is in Cairns for the week so I'm all alone until monday but Warren came over this weekend and we did a lot of site seeing so that was nice. There was this festival going on at Darling Harbour this weekend called Hoopla where there were all of these street performers, we also got to walk around Circular Quay and see the opera house up close, I'll try to post some pictures from that. We also went to Victoria park, which is right across the street from me as well as the Royal Botanic Gardens where thousands of bats go to sleep during the day in the trees...they start waking up in the afternoon and it's quite loud.
Here are 4 pictures (it takes forever to load them so I probably won't be posting too many but I wanted to at least put up a few). There's one of me sand boarding near port stevens, me sitting on the steps of the opera house, the Rocks/Circular Quay where these huge cruise ships dock, and you can see the Harbour Bridge in the background and finally one of Amie and my room, with her sitting at her computer... we have two big windows so our room is always nice and sunny.
I've taken over 500 pictures since I've been here and I wish I could put more up but it just takes so long, I might put them on snapfish since I know a lot of you have access to it, but right now I'm still loading these pictures...it's been over 5 hours since I started. I might have to leave my computer open so it can finish while I'm gone. We have midterms and a two week vacation starting on April 14th and so far I only have 3 midterms all ending by the 17th, I'm going to Cairns from the 22nd (moved up from the 24th) to the 28th, so I'll be able to explore the Great Barrier Reef and all of the rainforests up there. Warren and I want to plan a trip to Uluru and the Red Center (Alice Springs area) but I don't know how we'd go about it, it would be too expensive to fly but it's a famous part of Australia that I'd hate to miss out on. I'll try to update you on what my plans are when I get it figured out!
