Week 11 Blog

Week two! I was quite scared coming to Singapore as it has a reputation for being insanely strict! I have to say, I have been an upstanding citizen, not to say I wasn’t in Australia, but the punishments are very unsettling. A simple fine is between $500-$5000. A higher punishment is a long period of jail time or public lashings… After that, I think you get the idea of what the upmost punishment is. I have promised my family to keep my friends and self in check so don’t worry! Work is going smoothly! I can’t lie, it is long […]

Week 10 Blog

Hello y’all! This is my first week here in Singapore and I have to say, it is pretty cool here! I got a haircut with my pal James to get all set for work! Its a lot of walking here and the MRT is very confusing but I’m sure it will get easier with time! My first day of work is quite interesting! UL Solutions is a cool company! Kate and I are working under the marketing and innovations team, more specifically as consultants in the TIC (testing, inspection, and certification) sector! We get assigned projects where we analyze competitors […]

Week 9 Blog

My final G’day! This week we traveled to Cairns, Australia for our much needed Spring Break! All of Bucknell stayed in a hostel/resort called Gilligan’s which always had something going on! My friend and I got an Airbnb for the week because we had our girlfriends coming to visit us and as much as we wanted to be with everyone, it was much too complicated trying to get them rooms at Gilligan’s. Landing in Cairns, it was a much different Australia than I was used to, it almost felt like I was in Costa Rica! The main attractions were the […]

Week 8 Blog

G’day! Its official… our last week in Sydney Australia! I tried to spend my last days here at the beach, mostly Bondi. I really enjoyed visiting Bondi especially because as a kid I’ve always watched the TV show Bondi Rescue which is a documentary show about the lifeguards and the beach. I’ve seen plenty of camera crew at the beach and even thought about making a scene to make it on the show (don’t worry Mom, I didn’t!). It is also finals week here! I was a little nervous at first but after lots of studying, I am confident I […]

Week 7 Blog

G’day folks! This is our second to last week taking courses here in Australia before headed to spring break! A few of my friends and I decided to venture out of the city and head to Port Stephens, a beachy town about two hours north of us. We rented a house close to the beach and spent countless hours bodysurfing and swimming in the water, and even saw a pod of dolphin about ten feet away from us catching waves! This beach was absolutely incredible as it seemed like it was half desert and half tropical. We even saw camel […]

Week 6 Blog

G’Day! Surprise surprise I was at the beach again! I can’t get enough of the culture here and how friendly everyone is. I took this picture of the stage they set up in Bondi Beach for Sophie Ellis-Bextor, you might know her better as the woman who sings Murder on the Dance Floor! Although I didn’t get to see her in person, it was the thought that counts! Federal Income Tax is a super interesting class to take especially down under. Dr. Alexander has been an amazing professor and has made class very engaging! She recently brought in two Bucknell […]
