Colin! Wow Colin, that is quite the adventure you now have under your belt. I am glad you're have such a great time. I can not wait to hear about some of your experiences in person. If you see a cheap t-shirt lying around... be sure to grab one up for me and i'll pay you back... I am sick of brands as well!!!
Miss and love you!!! Happy Thanksgiving down under...
hi coin! can you bring me that koala? just have peg smuggle it under her shirt, she will still look really skinny, and it probably won't bite that much. thanks!
still summer here Hey Colin,
Towards the middle of your blog you made a reference to the lame people still living at home in their mid twenties, but thankfully i know you are not talking about me, seeing as that I am only 24, but you must be talking about your lovely brother... ill make sure to tell him. Glad to hear you are still having an amazing time seeing the sights. Do you have a website of just pictures? If not, you should add them on facebook or something cause I would love to see them. Well as summer is starting down where you are, summer just wont seem to leave us. Its the middle of october and monday will be a high of 78! oh well, ill just enjoy it as it lasts. Justin is up here for his birthday and we went apple picking yesterday. Nothing else exciting, so write some more so I can live vicariously through your life. glad to hear you are having so much fun and just remember that hindsight is 20-20. Enjoy whatever you can about your university and keep doing the side trips. If Macquarie University had been amazing, you might not have seen all the cool stuff you have. enjoy the red-light districts and talk to you soon.

so exciting! Hey Colin, I was so glad when I got your first few blog e-mails. I am very jealous of all the new things you are seeing and doing. Your classes down there sound like some of mine at school. Now I know who to go to when I want to head down there. What exactly is vegimite and what does it taste like? I heard it was really popular, but didn't taste that great, but I have never tried it. Also are these trips you are writing about part of the program or are you doing them on your own? Keep the updates coming and post as many pics as you can. Can't wait for some more fun stories!- Celin
Jealous :) It sounds like you are having a lot of fun Colin! I am so jealous, I wish I was there too! Have a great week, looking forward to your next blog! Love you very much xoxo -Heidi
We Miss You! Hello Colin-
Colorado is just not the same without you, but your adventures sound amazing and I cannot wait to hear them in depth face-to-face. A little brief on Colorado: Everyone here seems to be getting along quite nicely. Tuesday nights my roommates and I cook dinner for anyone that wants to come over. We have had it 5 or 6 times already and each time has been a total success. Whit, Peter, Kirk, John, Katherine and Jordan Riddle are the regulars that come, while it was Stuebe, Petey, and Dave’s first time over last night! It is just fun to feel at home in college and have a nice meal in front of you, you know? You are invited when you come back from Australia- don’t worry.
Ski season is right around the corner and Peter, Whit, John and I have been more than excited. A-basin opens TODAY, but it is not going to be great skiing until November/December. I bought a mountain bike yesterday, it’s a Giant Hard Tail, I have not been able to take it for a trail ride yet but hopefully that will change this afternoon. Peter has already helped me fix it up by taking the reflectors and chain guards off (he says they are not allowed on- oh well).
The boys house (Stuebe, Dave ) has a quarter pipe thing in their garage. They have been working on it for a few days strait now. I am actually amazed on the wood working they have done, you’ll see it hopefully no one will have gotten hurt by then though. Some parts look a little dangerous.
Weather in Colorado is the same, beautiful like always. I am sure you are tanner than me because in the eyes of Peter I am Indian, but I am just coming to the acceptance that I am naturally always tan- so ha! to all the girls that go fake tanning and pay money to get my dark look School is going well. Junior year is very hard though, and time consuming. Writing about school- I actually need to run to class. Write more about your trips, I love reading them. Miss you like crazy and I hope you continue to have a great time. See you on skype soon??? Love always- Jordan ox
