Yeeehaaa!

As requested, I am writing another entry in my blog to let you all know what's new with me.  I think this actually marks about the mid-point of my trip here.  Can you believe it? I worked last week in a couple odd jobs, most interestingly enough as an extra.  I will be in 2 commercials and in the background of an Australian television series.  It was fun to do something different, and next week I'll continue the trend.  I'm going to a Jillaroo course (aka Australian Cowgirl).  We will be learning things like lassoing, cattle and sheep herding, sheep shearing, and natural horsemanship.  They do offer the opportunity to set you up with a job afterwards if you're interested, but whatever the outcome, I think it'll be nice to get out of the city for a while.  Plus, I hope to come back with some great pictures!
