Week 5 Blog

G’Day! This week was very eventful as we began our new block of classes! I am taking both Organizational Behavior and Federal Income Tax which are both very interesting! I have no class on Mondays which is very nice! Apart from settling into my new classes, we went on a wine tour this weekend which was absolutely incredible! We went to Hunter Valley where we toured both Brokenwood Winery and Restaurant and Around Hermitage Winery. It was an eye opening experience to talk with the management and learn the entire wine production process. Additionally it was also super cool to learn about each of their sustainability practices. Sustainability is something I want to incorporate within my field of work as I believe that this will be the future and my peers and I asked lots of questions as to what the vineyards do in order to produce wine sustainably. Their answers were very professional as both wineries have been working rigorously to reduce their emissions in every field while also working in other fields to give back to the planet. Apart from the informational sessions of the tour, we got to enjoy lots of cheese at lunch and sample lots of different wines. I had a grand time with all of my friends and urge everyone to experience this at least once in their life! Apart from this, I was able to go to the beach a few times to catch some sun! I have yet to surf here in Australia but believe me when I say I will! I can’t wait to see what my classes have in store and experience the Aussie lifestyle for as much time as possible! G’Night!
