Day 1 - Adelaide, South Australia Australia Agh. Finally on my way to Adelaide. It was still a challenge though. I found online that there was transport from Bendigo to Adelaide, but because I couldn't find or determine if it was via bus or train I just assumed it was by train. So when I arrived at the train station this morning asking for a ticket to Adelaide the employee looked at me strangely. I don't know if he was confused about my request or if he couldn...

Day 125 (LaTrobe University) - Bendigo, Victoria Australia I still get excited when I see that it's 11am or 4pm because that means The Price is Right or The Ellen DeGeneres shows are on…even though I haven't seen either for the past five months.

Tonight's feast included my personal favorites: French toast, scrambled eggs, and bacon. Thankfully Gabby was able to help me cook. Nathan tried to help, I thi...

Day 95 (LaTrobe University) - Bendigo, Victoria Australia Today was tiring. I haven't been able to sleep in past 8am since last Sunday. But I will tomorrow. Out of nowhere I became exhausted and had a sore throat, like three hours ago NNNNNOOOOOOOOOO! I can't be sick AGAIN! Rest, fluids, and medication.Check, check, and check. I'm going to get the b****** before he gets me…Navigation today. It was a pain, getting a map and having to navigate in the bush to f...
