Well, I made a New Year's resolution to push myself out of my comfort zone more and to be more social. It's kinda hard! I was never a very social person anyways, but coming to Australia has made me even more anti-social. I greatly enjoy my own company but it's gotten to the point where I have some serious social anxiety. So what have I done? I've gotten a job working at a very fancy cafe. I've even had to buy a dress and am learning how to use makeup. AAAHHHHH!! If you know me, you know I don't do girly things haha.

But when not pretending to know what I'm doing in the cafe, I've been able to enjoy the island. Lots of hiking and swimming. And I'm doing some coursework so that I can get my scuba diving license!

 The Black Pearl has made harbor here!!

 After the rain there's a whole bunch of these tiny cane toads

 Rock hopping
