October 6th 

Trafalgar is in Victoria, Australia

Hello friends and family! As a lot of you know, I will be traveling to Australia in ten days to complete my student teaching. I decided to start this blog so you can read about my adventures if you want to. I will be moving to Trafalgar, Australia which is in the most southern part of Australia. I will be staying with a host family during my time there and teaching at Trafalgar Primary School. So far I have made contact with my host mom, who is the vice principal of the school that I will be staying at. She has a son and daughter that is my age and seems very nice. I still have another week and a half to run around like a chicken with my head cut off and get things ready to go! There seems to be a never ending list of things I have to complete before I leave. My plane will be leaving October 16th from Indianapolis, IN at 7:20pm. I wont arrive in Melbourne until Friday October 18th at noon. That is one long flight! I have a layover in Dallas Wednesday night and another in Brisbane on Friday morning. Australian time is 16 hours ahead of ours, I believe.  Wish me luck to get through this week!
