We finally made it!!

So we finally made it to Lismore!!! Fiji was amazing, but I think we were all ready to get to our rooms and not live out of a suitcase. Anyways, I'm going to be keeping this kind of short for right now (we have an internet quota on the amount of time that we can use, so until we get that figured out, these are going to be short and sweet) Last night, we got into Brisbane and waited for our bus to Lismore. It was a long bus ride (about 4.5 hours) but the country is beautiful with a ton of rolling hills and greenery). We met our roommates (so far, I have one from UW Stout named Sara and one from Japan named Wakana). They're both really nice and I think we have 3 more people arriving today or tomorrow, so we'll see!! There was also a welcoming BBQ last night (with VEGGIE burgers; i love these aussie ways!). After that, we hung out with some of our flat-mates and played cards and met a ton of new people (i think we should all wear name tags, haha!!) We also went to the store for bedding and we are going again today for groceries, ect. Everything is extremely expensive though, so I will definitely be spending wisely!! Hope all is well with everyone else (has anyone that's read this figured out how to leave comments or if you can?) I'll update again soon!!
