An Afternoon in Nimbin

     It has been awhile since I have posted because not a lot has been going on.  Pretty much all that I did last week was go to class.  I feel a little more confident about classes now that I am in more of a routine.  I know what they expect and I think I will do just fine.  My Music and Children class is going to be my toughest class just because I am not comfortable performing in front of people.  It hasn't been too bad yet though.
     Yesterday was Canada Day so we had to celebrate with Nicole since she is from Canada of course.  Basically all we did was wear red and listened to Canadian music.  It was still fun though.
     Today we went to Nimbin for the day.  It is probably the smallest town I have ever been to and true hippies live there.  Everyone was happy go lucky and it was fun to people watch.  They also make a lot of crafts so we were able to pick up some sweet souvenirs.  It is not a place someone would want to spend a lot of time in, but it was nice to get out of Lismore for a while.
     Tonight we are planning to go down to Tommy's to celebrate one of the Aussie's birthday and listen to Nicole's roommate's band play.  I am excited to hear some live music and they write their own songs so it will be interesting to see how their music compares to what we listen to in the States.
     Next week is going to be a busy week as we are going to be heading out on our first camping trip 7am Monday.  I cannot wait to go camping and experience some more of Australia.  I will, however, be missing 3 of my 4 days of classes, so I will have quite a bit of make up work.
