So What Am I Going to DO?

CAPA hasn't yet said who I'll be rooming with, but everyone I talked with definitely wants to explore the city during every minute of free time that we get.  SO, I've come up with a list of things that I want to do/see/explore in our free time!
- sydney harbour (tour or ferry, or something)
- walk from the opera house to the botanical garden
- explore the opera house (obviously!)
- manly ferry
- the rocks
- sydney aqauarium
- wild life zoo
- some sort of outdoorsy sport (paragliding, possibly?)
I'm sure this list will grow in the coming weeks, but I'll be there in just two short months!  I can't believe it!

First Meeting Info

Hi all!  We had our first group meeting on Tuesday, where we got to know everyone, chow down on UHOP, and get some more details regarding our trip.  Everyone seems really nice.  Most of the group is in PT, but I don't know anyone well - probably a good thing... I'll get to know more people who I don't already know!
I have to register with CAPA within the next couple weeks, and then it'll all be set!  We'll be leaving Boston on May 21st, and we'll be getting back on June 20.  Our activities aren't finalized yet, mainly because CAPA doesn't yet have the schedules for May and June.  I need to decide who I'd like to room with for a month, but at this point, I don't really care.  Everyone seemed great, even the professors!  They're best friends, and it's adorable watching them interact!
Like I think I said, we'll be taking class on campus for two weeks prior to the trip.  Classes will be in the morning, leaving the rest of the day open for me to do whatever I want.  I'll probably be staying with Steve and Amy on the weekends and help out with the little one, which I'm very excited about!  During the week though, I'll probably be working with a few people on our final project that's to be presented at the end of the trip.
Our next meeting is on March 27th, so I'll update you all then?
Have a great one!
