Animals are like Palm Trees

"Animals are like palm trees, which aren't animals but you get the idea...

Turtles are like palm trees, but by palm trees I mean coconuts. Turtles are like coconuts."



That above is a direct quote from one of my professors. Interesting right? Just finished my first week of AUSTRALIAN UNI! It seems really weird to me because of the whole - Americans going on Spring Break now. No big plans for this weekend as of yet. Going to Willows and the thrift store tomorrow to look around and 2 of my friends are getting their noses pierced. I want to do something drastic while I'm here but I don't know what. Sky diving is too expensive, I don't want more holes in my face... not sure. Suggestions?

I'm struggling with the "making the most" out of my trip to Australia.
..though I think I'm going to Melbourne over break (in addition to my 3 day camping trip during that break and a field trip this Sunday)
