Belated thank you EM! I only just read this! It turns out that I am not the tech savvy individual that I thought I was, prior to this moment having no experience with "blogs" other than laughing at the funny name. But having just had my attention directed to your lovely 2008 Birthday (20th) wishes, I just want to say- THANKYOU SO MUCH YOU WONDERFUL PERSON!! Talk to you soon.
You Got the Wrong Bridge! Hey
the bridge you crossed is not Story Bridge, it is called the Green Bridge.
the Story Bridge is the old bridge linking Fortitude Valley and Kangaroo Point.
Hi Sweetie! I'm glad that Friday Harbor's going well. I wish I could go dock-jumping with you now; that would be quite refreshing, because it's about 100 degrees here in X'ian. I miss you like crazy! I can't wait to talk to you!
<3 XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Hi Sweetie! I'm glad to know that you made it into Friday Harbor okay. I don't know if you've gotten my e-mails, but I'm assuming this one will go through. I look forward to hearing from you!
<3 XOXOXOXOXOXO
Emily, what a beautiful recollection of our night. Don't even think of the effort or time it took us, we would have made it bigger and better if we thought it would have been more fun.Anything for you guys, you know that. Keep on remembering it fondly, it summed up our time together. Fun, Hilarious, Food (hehe) and lots of smiles and love. Have a beautiful time with your family and Jon (we are missing him too so i know you'll be enjoying your time with him)
Don't contemplate leaving Australia; contemplate the fact that I get to see you in 3 days and make you a nice homecooked meal! That should be a more comforting thought than leaving (at least the homecooked meal, lol!)
<3 XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Emily i am so excited for you going home! I read this and I have a suggestion. You should do a study of crows, compare the crows back home to the ones here, they really do sound different in Qld and NSW, they must sound really different between countries.........weeeeird! The best part of conducting that study could be staying here. HOORAAAAAAAAAAY!
hi hey, sorry this is so late in coming. what book did you read and like so much? I'm glad you did that and remembered how much you like doing that. I def remember you loving to do that all the time in high school. and hearing a song we heard in london is really funny! and what'd you have at the japanese restaurant? i'm actually taking japanese next semester!
Hi Emily! You're sure making the most of your time in Australia. Kudos on your energy to see and do so much while keeping up with classes. Trader Joe's sells Greek yogurt but I'm sure that it, like so many things back in the States, will pale in comparison... xo Thea
You got such great pictures! I think I see a Facebook picture in there (that is, of course, if you'll allow me to use your copyrighted photo, lol!) I can't wait to talk to you!
<3 XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Approximated conversation:
Nell: Hey, i think it has babies! What's that under it?
Emily: Um...nell...that's it's balls...
Me: So, she was close?
Emily: They are the baby makers....
I loved the pictures of your trip! You took great pictures, as always. I hope you have a good rest of the weekend; I can't wait to talk to you!
<3 XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Have a great trip, Sweetie! I can't wait to see all the pictures when you get back. Only 29 days until I get to see you; I'm so excited!
<3 XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
I'm abroad this semester at the University of Queensland, in Brisbane, Australia.
Stay on top of my scholastic adventures and wild wanderings!

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror
The wide brown land for me!
