Early morning, early morning, around 4 a.m. We'd left a little late, so we walked briskly to the train, with a bit of a sprint at the end. We made it, though it wouldn't have been a disaster if we had to catch the next one...
September 23: Beyond the Genome lab wasn't much of a lab; it was basically just computer analysis, but that was fine. I had a great time with Tanya. On my way home, I was bombarded with people trying to get me to participate in the student election. I…
At 10 a.m., the little ones were at my place, all of us taking the bus to Circular Quay (pronounced like the English "key"). Mom isn't used to buses, I noticed, haha. We took the ferry to Manly. That ferry goes...
This morning Cailene came over to my house; she wanted to hear me play guitar and see if I could teach her something. It was fun! We didn't stay that long, though, because we had to catch a train. She did say it was her...

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…
I flew to the Blue Mountains (Katoomba and Wentworth Falls) with the Dutch guy I was sitting next to. It was a long two-hour train ride before I even got there. Unfortunately, it was a rainy day, so yeah, the view was, uh, yeah...
I did it! I woke up at 4:00 AM! Way too early. Luckily, there were already buses going to Town Hall station, where we'd arranged to catch the bus to Macquarie Lighthouse together. Even though it was early, we still had a nice chat…
Not much done yesterday. A big deep clean of my room and a quick call to family. This morning started with a scavenger hunt across campus (library, sports center, college buildings, cafes, hidden spots, etc.). Meeting people from Mexico, Belgium, Ireland, and the United States…
I ran around from my house to Blackwattle Bay, beautiful view! And got a small heater, because it gets quite cold in the evenings (most Australian houses have no heating and poor insulation).
