We took the train from Redfern Station to Milsons Point. The train crossed the Harbour Bridge! Cynthia and I apparently took the same train, but we only discovered that when we got off. We grabbed some breakfast together and waited…
Slept through my alarm again, oops. That afternoon I volunteered at a USU "sandwich making" event for children at school without lunch. It was quite a funny experience and gave me a sense of accomplishment. I was one of…
