First thoughts

Hey everyone!

I am going to try really hard to update this blog often.. but we'll see what happens. I am currently in the library in Perth because we won't get internet access for a few days. So far I am loving it here! It is hot, and I am already really sunburned, but it's all good! The city is really nice and the beach is awesome! Really beautiful. I think we might hit another beach later today..

I got here a couple days early so I have been meeting everyone as they come in. We have about half the students here so about 20 more will be coming. All together, there are 53 students, 10 staff in my school (the young people's dts) but there will be about 400 people at the base altogether doing different schools and programs. Everyone here is really awesome! It's cool to have so many people of different cultures and ages in one place. In my room, there are 5 Canadians (represent!), 2 Americans, one from Holland, one from Northern Ireland and one from England.. It's pretty sweet. I already feel like I've known them for a while.

Tomorrrow the school officially starts so I am excited to see how everything will work. Apparently we all have to excersise at 6 in the morning.. eww.

I've really go to go, but I will try and write more in the coming days! I hope you are all well!
