Tonight was our last night in Sydney and it is bitter sweet. Instead of going out with a bang, like the other nights, we decided to take it easy and relax. It was very nice and fun to hangout all together and pack up!

Although I am going to really miss it here and I LOVE IT HERE, I am honestly ready to go home. I miss my family, dogs, and boyfriend a lot and I can’t wait to see them all. I hope my flights don’t get canceled on my way home because I am so anxious to get there that I don’t think I will be able to wait any minute longer. This snow better hold up until 9:30 pm on Wednesday night! I leave tomorrow afternoon (Wednesday here in Australia) and will get home Wednesday night in America which means I am traveling back into time! I leave from Sydney to LA, then from LA to Chicago, and then Chicago to State College….THEN HOME!!!!!!!

I really miss America and can’t wait to see the snow! I want to go skiing when I get home but it will be a huge shock to go from 100 degree weather to 0 degree weather in a matter of a few hours and airports.

I hope this won’t be my last blog post ever because I plan to blog a bit more about my ambitions which I started and the impact this trip has made in my life.

I will also try and post a few things about my internship at the zoo and the online class that we have to take for this trip.

Thank you to everyone who has followed…I might have to change the name of my blog since I won’t be down under in 2 days!!!

As one of our assignments we had to go to a museum. After trying to choose which museum would be the most interesting we decided to choose the Contemporary Art Museum because Yoko Ono (John Lennon’s wife) had an exhibition showcased. When we walked in we realized we had to pay for her exhibit so we decided to just walk around the free areas. The first floor was very odd…I might try and add pictures later for people to look at but my iPad won’t allow me to do it ! We walked in and watched the first piece of art moving around. It was a tree stump with something sticking out of a hole and moving up and down. We were just really confused because it was a phallic. We read the description and it was suppose to be a tongue…but it was circular and we just walked away in confusion. The next piece of art was a life size, white mushroom sculpture smoking a pipe. After seeing the first two pieces we whispered, “I think this person was on drugs”. Walking deeper into the exhibit we kept seeing some weird art works. Many of them had phallic symbols or were just odd. On the second floor there were a lot of aboriginal art paintings with naked men, which was expected. But then there was a life size, spider man sculpture…with the largest bulge ever…like what? It just made no sense and had no purpose for how large it was.

I realized that I didn’t like contemporary art at all. It was just nothing that made me feel any positive emotions; only confusion. I felt that some of the pieces were weird, simple, and didn’t make sense. Contemporary art is just not my thing, especially because I feel like I could do it easily and I am not even artistic. I enjoy architecture the most and maybe should stick to that until I learn to appreciate modern and contemporary art.
