Today Martha and I visited the Sydney Sea Aquarium. I was amazed how great this aquarium was considering the little space that they have. They had fish from all over Australia including many fish that I’ll be seeing in Cairns when I visit the reef. I have never heard of a dugong before which is […]

It’s finally the weekend! Today my friend Martha and I decided to go out and explore. We went to Glebe which is a little area in Sydney near the University. I never realized how confusing the bus system here was and they do not wait for anyone! Unfortunatley we missed our bus, but we eventually […]

I had big plans for this weekend, but unfortunately due to very heavy storms it ended up being a weekend spent at the hotel. Most public transportation stopped running, it was very cold, and there was a lot of flooding. I decided to cook an Australian dish for dinner tonight. Rack of lamb with a […]

Today I woke up bright and early, got dressed up in my best business attire and headed to work. Today was a very exciting day because Power2Motivate was having their Lunch and Learn event and I got to participate. Though I played a minimal part in the big picture, I helped with the presentation and […]

Today was a busy day at work in preparation for the Lunch and Learn event tomorrow, but it was also very exciting because we got to participate in a TEAN cultural event and attend the State of Origin Game. The two teams were New South Wales and Queensland. I had expected rugby to be very […]

Today I was able to sleep in. We headed to Darling Harbor for our whale watching tour around 12:30pm. We picked up a snack on the way, and being the Americans that we are, our snack option was McDonald’s. Its amazing how much nicer the restaurants here are compared to the states. We boarded the […]

I decided to not write about work everyday to keep my blog fun and interesting, so unless it’s something majorly exciting, I will mostly only blog on the weekends. My first week at work was informative, but intense. I learned the ins and outs of marketing, created a poster for a social media post, and […]

Monday morning I woke up at 7am, jumped out of bed, found my most professional outfit, did my make-up, and was out the door headed to my first day on the job. As I have mentioned before I am interning for a company called Power2Motivate. I was one of the lucky ones in my group […]

Saturday we said farewell to the group members interning in Perth, Canberra, and Newcastle. Sydney was where we all met for orientation and most of us will be meeting up again at the end of our internship up in Cairns, Australia for the Great Barrier Reef excursion. I decided to have an easy weekend researching […]

Today I woke up bright and early because we were getting to go to the Taronga Zoo. To get to the zoo we took the train to Circular Quay, then took a ferry over to the actual zoo. Once we got off the ferry, we took a cable car up to the top of the […]
