Sydney Week 5 – Nicole Wilson

Week 5 was great, as we got to start our new round of classes. On Monday, Michelle and I went to the cafe downstairs to watch the Super Bowl. We were rooting for the Chiefs because Travis Kelce is Taylor Swift’s boyfriend and we just wanted her to be happy. I had a lot of fun teaching Michelle the rules, and we both got pretty into it, and I even yelled a little bit at the screen. Right at the end, Nicole burst into the cafe, since she had just gotten back from New Zealand, and I had been sending […]

Sydney Week 4 – Nicole Wilson

Week 4 was another lovely week! On Monday, I was awoken at 4:40 am by Nicole getting home from the final night in Melbourne. We then had to frantically pack our bags and get to the lobby by 5 am. We got to the airport by 5:30 so we had a lot of time to kill. We got some food and I had time to call my parents from the airport before boarding. While on the plane about to take off, we realized that Zane and David didn’t make it on the plane, so we got to listen to Dr. […]

Sydney Week 3 – Nicole Wilson

Week 3 was great and ended with an amazing weekend in Melbourne!! On Monday, I got coffee at the cafe with a friend to recap the weekend before I had to jump on Teams for an interview (that never actually happened due to a mishap with the link). We had Global Management in the afternoon, and then we had a quiet night at home. On Tuesday, we had class at 8 am and then again at 3:30. In Global Management, we had an activity that was meant to simulate cross-cultural negotiation that was really cool. We were split into two […]

Sydney Week 2 – Nicole Wilson

Week 2 in Sydney was just as amazing as Week 1! On Monday we had class from 3-7 and then John and I had to work on our presentation for Aussie Life and Culture after that. The presentation was actually very interesting, it was about the gender roles in Australia and how the common images of Australians in the media help contribute to the sexism that is still prevalent in the US. After finishing my presentation, we had family dinner afterward with Ned and Manolo. Manolo made Vodka Sauce again, Nicole made salad and Michelle made chicken (I funded the […]

Sydney Week 1 – Nicole Wilson

Our first week in Sydney has been pretty amazing. On our first day, we arrived very early and got an initial tour of Sydney. We walked around the Botanical Gardens and found a nice spot to sit and talk. For our Welcome Dinner, I got a Chicken Schnitzel Burger, but some of my friends tried Kangaroo. I couldn’t bring myself to try it, but people mostly told me it tasted like steak. The next day our classes started, but I only had one, Global Management, and it wasn’t until 3. In the morning, one of my roommates and I took […]
