I'm on a student exchange right?? Well, that means that I have to go to school. . . .bummer I know :) hehehe, nah it's alright. I meet people and it makes me more of a local. Rather than just going to live in a foreign country for a year and being a tourist ya know. I actually LIVE here. . . .Don't know where I'm going with this. . . .Anyways. . . Here are some photos of the things I see every day. Not so exciting I know but I thought all you people back home might find it a tad bit interesting. . .just maybe ya know?? :)
This is the bus that I take from Kybybolite (we already went over how to pronounce that so I'm not gonna do it again:) hahaha) to Naracoorte (same goes for that one). The trip is about 20 minutes long. All the buses look different here. No two are alike, much like snow flakes :) Some of them are even coaches. Like the thing you would take on a cross country trip. Anyways. . . I wake up at 7, well that's the time my alarm goes off. . .I hit the snooze button a couple times before actually moving. I catch the bus at 8, there isn't a snooze button there so I have to catch it at 8 every morning. And I get to school at 8:30. Class starts at 9 and just hip hip hooray from there on!! I mean who wouldn't be excited about 9 hours in a stone building??? :) These are all of the different buses.
This is our bus stop, it's pretty rad. I've whipped out the Vanna White pose :) It's got a couch in it. For when it rains ya know. Cause the last thing ya wanna do is sit on the cold cement when it's raining. Ya know, get your uniform dirty. That doesn't fly cause you've got to wear the same thing for a couple days. I've only got two shirts. . . :)
This is the lovely school hat I get to wear every time I set foot outside. Sexy I know :) It's a law or something. I have to wear it till the end of term 1 next year. That's till April or something. I'm eating an apple. . . Australia has amazing apples. Pink Lady. MMMMMM!!!!!!!!! :) They're magical.
These are our lockers. They look nothing like American lockers. And most people don't really use them. They aren't big enough for a backpack so there are school bags laying everywhere.

Oh!! And they have grass ceilings here!!! It's something to do with insulating the building or some shit like that. This is a photo of a classroom. You can kinda see the grass ceiling. They don't have fancy-pants desks here. Just tables. That are broken cause we sit on them rather than the chairs. What every floats your boat right?? :)
Righty-o. Well I've got to go. Catch ya. Hopefully my next post will be a tad bit more interesting :)

"wuch you talkin bout Willis?"
ok... I have to admit, thats a little weird. Photos, or it isn't real. No, I can't see the grass ceiling in that picture, btw. Maybe I'm just blind. Anyway, more info on the grass ceiling please... :D
