I have never been as inspired as I have this past semester. As a journalism major, I sometimes find myself walking out of class feeling more determined about an assignment or moved by a piece we had to read for the following class, but I have never felt such excitement about the future as I have these past five months.

I was sitting in the kitchen Monday morning with the radio on when I first heard the news: a man had entered a café in Sydney’s central business district and was holding hostages. I was living with a host family far out in the suburbs of Sydney at this point, but the siege was occurring ten minutes from my old apartment in the heart of downtown. That morning, my host had gone to her office, which was located in the area. One of my housemates contacted her to make sure she was all right, and she replied that she was fine, but her building was on lockdown. We did not know if she would be allowed to come home that night. We kept the radio on for the rest of the day, but there was little news until early the next morning.

My name is Ellie, and I am a junior at UR studying journalism but am currently studying abroad in Sydney, Australia for the fall semester. Welcome to my blog! Here I hope to offer some insights into studying abroad, my life in Australia and maybe just some general life tips I have picked up while living in another country.

Students looking for summer internships or abroad experiences might be able to get the best of both.

MELBOURNE, Australia -- Because of my weekly travels and studious nature, I have been a bit behind reporting my adventurous activities abroad. I have failed to skip (or finish) my action-packed spring break with the Extreme Adventures One Fish, Two Fish trip. I could write pages of my nine-day adventure traveling the western coast of Oz and had every intention of reporting all of my quirky encounters and detailed experiences, but I just realized that my spring-break journal is nearly seven pages single-spaced and could just about be considered a short story. I shall try to keep it to a minimum and will accept questions after.

MELBOURNE, Australia -- It's 9 a.m., and the sun exposes salt residue on my legs as I peel of my socks, only to reveal two massive blisters on my right foot. Grossly enough, I am pleased; in fact all smiles as I gaze at the finish line in the MCG, the finish line that I crossed one hour and 48 minutes ago.

MELBOURNE, Australia -- With the $2.00 of remaining balance I have on my Global Gossip internet card, all I can say is that my Extreme Adventure spring break has been just that, extreme. The rainforest walk this afternoon is the last of the organized tours on my One Fish, Two Fish trip, but I have made more memories in these past nine days, then I thought I would. In three days alone, I went white water rafting on the Tully River, jumped out of a plane at 14,000 feet, bungee jumped at 50 m and scuba dived in the Great Barrier Reef. I also bronzed at one of the top three beaches in the world and sailed the Atlantic in a multi-million dollar boat. Oh gosh, I have less than 5 minutes of credit remaining, but more to come when I get home in 2 days, pictures and all!

MELBOURNE, Australia -- Apart from my studious nature and countless pub crawls around Melbourne, I do take the time to be your typical American tourist with the fanny pack and huge camera around my neck. Okay, so not quite that extreme, but yes, I have been fortunate enough to tour some of the natural attractions of Australia; although I do have to whine a bit -- or, I guess, laugh -- because it would be my luck that three out of three tours I have been on, I haven't been blessed with the best weather. By that I mean, it rained every time, I got stuck in a hail and thunderstorm on a beach and our Great Ocean Road trip turned into the coldest day Australia has seen in 10 years; but I will elaborate more on the not-so-perfect-day-weather-wise trips in just a bit.

MELBOURNE, Australia -- So here I am in the land down under, 9,463 miles away from America and eating vegemite sandwiches. My original assumption was that Oz was similar to the United States, but as the weeks pass, I realize the only thing in common is that both countries speak English! These Aussies lead a completely different lifestyle than a typical Richmonder.
