October is coming soon which means my birthday is coming up. I do not have any plans to go anywhere for spring break so I will probably just continue to explore Sydney. I really want to make it to the blue mountains and I want to go on the Coogee to Bondi beach walk. I think it is really weird how time is going by so quickly. I really need to think about all the final things I want to do here before I leave. I attending a Rugby game which was really fun, we had great seats and could see the players really well, which made me happy! Academically, I have noticed that things here are a lot more tough. Grading is a lot harsher as you start from a score of 0 and earn points verses starting at 100 and loosing points. They stick to a system in which the bell curve is utilized. The majority of students will remain in the “credit” middle range while some will fall either above or below that. It is very different from the American system in which many students will receive an A or a B. Luckily, Rollins takes this into account and our grades are translated respectively. Also I am unsure how I am doing in my classes until the conclusion of the semester so we will see how that goes. Otherwise, I am enjoying my time here and look forward to have good updates upon my next post!
