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.
One of the major downsides of going abroad to Australia fall semester is missing out on all the autumn festivities in Richmond. I imagine the leaves around Westhampton Lake are incredible right now, I miss all the festive drinks at 8:15 and I’m really sad that I will not be home to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. However, one of the major highlights of being abroad in the southern hemisphere is getting to celebrate Spring Break twice!
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.

The University of Richmond women's tennis team defeated West Virginia University 7-0 Friday. It's Richmond's first shutout of the season.
ROTC Spider Battalion's cadence calls reached University of Richmond students' ears as early as 6:45 Saturday morning as the unit conducted a three-mile run through campus.
Rumbling down Route 60, crammed in the back seat of an over-crowded Jeep, the vestiges of Saturday night's debauchery still lingering, I half wished I had stuck to my usual Sunday routine of noontime D-Hall and an unproductive afternoon in the library. But as soon as we rolled onto the gravel driveway and saw Demas Boudreaux standing in front of the 19th century estate that is home to Commonwealth Birding, I knew I'd made the right decision. In front of us, we had an afternoon of quail hunting in beautiful rural Virginia.
Cadets from the University of Richmond, Virginia Commonwealth University, Randolph Macon College, Virginia Union University, Hampden-Sydney College and Longwood University gathered at Fort Lee, Va., Saturday for the Spider Battalion's Leadership Lab Weekend, where they practiced techniques and skills that will be used in the field.
