Sunday morning we attended "City on a Hill" church, and I loved it. They meet in a movie theater at the mall, so really comfy seats, and there were lots of young people. The music was great, the sermon was awesome, and I felt really welcome there.
Day 6
Monday morning I met with Prof Vivian Lin at the Franklin St campus of LaTrobe Uni to talk with her about the Public Health program for about an hour. Met up with Jayne at 10 and we took the shuttle to the Shrine of Remembrance.
Stopped for a coffee break before heading to the Royal Exhibition Building and the Melbourne Museum for a bit, then grabbed a bite at a little cafe thing under one of the bridges in Southbank.
Took a much-needed nap that afternoon before dinner, then David and I headed out to visit our good friend Andrew Dircks (another friend who I met at ICB here) for coffee and catching up.
Got home and booked my flight to Sydney for Wednesday - for $35! :)
Day 7
Flew to Adelaide for the day on Tuesday to visit the University of Adelaide. Gorgeous campus, beautiful brick buildings, and everyone I talked to was really helpful, though the professors seemed really keen on having me do the research track "based on your background in Psychology"...I couldn't seem to stress that research, specifically data analysis, was the reason I WASN'T choosing a masters in Psychology. Sigh..
Flew back at 5:30, Jayne picked me up at the airport, bless her, and the three of us headed off for Greek food at Spitiko, a restaurant recommended by my friend Tasha, and ended the night with Young Einstein.
Day 8
Did a quick load of laundry, packed up my bag, then Jayne took me to the airport. Saw me all the way to my gate, and bid me farewell as I boarded my flight to Sydney. A huge big thanks to them for everything! :D
