it. is. weird.<br />
i had the best time in NZ, one of the most beautiful places on the face of the earth. we saw the milford sound - considered to be the 8th wonder of the world...but i'm pretty sure the 9th, 10th, 11th & 12th wonders could also be found there. <br />
it was great to see all my friends & family at christmas. mike & i went to chicago for new years, where we basically just ate great pizza all weekend. having yellowtail bubbly at midnight made me miss australia...and i do, a lot. now that i'm back to the daily grind of going to class, and the highlight of my weeks being thursday nights at plums, i am eager to do something else fantastic. next summer is in the works....bye bye beercart.<br />
boston next week to celebrate spenser's 21st and reunite with my east coast loves i met at bond :)<br />

<br />
i can't believe I only have 19 days left here. as much as i need to see my family, especially ollie & chloe, i'm really not ready to leave. i could have easily done a year over here and wish i had. i guess i will just have to pick this whole thing up sometime next year, maybe come back for my masters or find some other excuse to avoid the real world.<br />
<br />
this weekend i'm heading to new zealand for "study week," or "travel week" in our book. i'll report back with kiwi news in a few weeks. xo<br />
<br />
p.s. christmas music is in full swing 24/7 in my life. i may or may not have spent 65$ at target on a plethora of santa hats, candy canes & garland...what? who said that.courtneycrockett.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17480330593117922503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809456465263611853.post-84128284020762187502010-11-29T20:07:00.000-08:002010-11-29T20:07:27.253-08:00love this.<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Bm5iA4Zupek?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Bm5iA4Zupek?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>courtneycrockett.http://www.blogger.com/profile/17480330593117922503noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809456465263611853.post-87244983232073463682010-10-27T19:20:00.000-07:002010-10-27T19:26:07.955-07:00caving.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I finally caved and made a blog.

I've done so much already- scuba dived in the Great Barrier Reef of Cairns, hiked in the Daintree Rainforest, watched my first rugby game in Brisbane, and learned how to surf in Byron Bay. If I ever did take up semipermanent residence in Australia, I think it would be in Byron. It has a hippie, free minded surf culture that I think I'm in love with....along with great boutiques and gelati shops on every corner. what more could you ask for? Jack Johnson having a beach house & being a a regular probably wouldn't hurt.</span></span></span><br />

This is a problem for me since I LOVE Halloween and am very dedicating to celebrating it. So, all of us americans are headed to the only place they do somewhat of a celebration- </span></span></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Sydney.</span></span></span></i></div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></span></i><br />
