It has been a crazy busy week! I was super home sick Monday/Tuesday, but after my Law School orientation on Wednesday/Thursday it seems a bit better. I was a little worried that many of the law students would be much younger (as you can enter the LLB program right out of high school in Australia), but most students starting this term are taking their JD, which requires at least an undergrad degree. Adam was less than impressed with all the 18/19-year-old exchange students hanging around the campus and bus stations, so we've been avoid those areas when possible.

We went to Brisbane on Thursday night to meet Adam's boss, Ben and a guy named Ken from Adam's team. Ben and Ken brought their girlfriends and we ate at this very high end seafood restaurant. It was amazing, but very over priced! They also have Entres, Sides, and Mains, which was very confusing for me, but in the end I had the most delicious dinner and WAY too much wine, as Ben made me finish off the bottle. A little drunk, Adam and I walked around downtown Brisbane making our way back to our hotel. Thank you Origin for a wonderful dinner and hotel in Brisbane!

We spent Friday afternoon, very hungover, driving around the little towns between Brisbane and Gold Coast trying to see where we would like to live. Nothing really seemed that great, but I'm not sure if that was the crappy weather, or the hangover.

Friday was also our Anniversary, so we had planned a nice dinner and a night out at Jupiter's Casino (which is across the street from our hotel in Broadbeach.) The casino has a wonderful buffet, which happens to have a seafood night on Friday, so we had another feast of seafood and drank too much wine again! I also ate my first Morten Bay Bug, which is a whole lobster that doesn't have any claws... it is really just a lobster tail, but very tasty. We hit the tables, but got cleaned out by a blackjack dealer. All-in-all it was a great Anniversary! I love my husband!

Saturday we did some running around and took the train into Brisbane to try to find Adam's office. The train ride was not as bad as I thought it would be and seemed to go by faster. It takes 1.5 hrs to get to Adam's office and I think he will need to invest in an Ipad if we live in the Gold Coast. He plans to take the train next week to see how it is during rush hour. We had dinner at a pub and then went to see The Change-Up, which was super funny and I would recommend it!

Thanks to all my friends and family for the kind emails and messages this week! It has really helped. I am still home sick, but it seems to be getting easier. I really just can't wait to start class!
