Monday September 8, 2008
On Mondays we start at 8 with breakfast and a devotion. From there Dan and I spent the entire day getting orientation talks from different staff members and different departments – lots of information. Luckily, they don’t expect us to remember it all!
Also got to do some archery so that was fun as I had been teaching it all summer but had spent little time actually shooting myself! Would have enjoyed the whole experience a bit though had I not still been sick; coughing, nose blowing, having a headache and probably a fever – ugg. Hopefully the antibiotic starts working soon and does the job!
Got out T-shirts and keys and everything so I feel very official now!

Welcome!
This blog is my attempt to keep in contact with family and friends during my nine month internship in Australia! Starting in September and ending in April, I will be living and working at Shoalhaven Conference Centres, located near Nowra, about 3 hours South of Sydney! Check back for updates as I venture to the Land Down Under and experience my first year in "the real world," sort of!
Title Explanation
Messin’ – Not at all intended to imply that I will be “goofing off” in Australia; as the main purpose of this trip is to work and serve in a new setting in which I will learn and grow whilst hopefully having heaps of fun!
-During sophomore year I acquired the nickname “Mess” and it stuck, hence the Messin’ :)
Oz – If you haven’t figured it out already, Oz is a common and fondly used nickname for Australia, shortened to Aussie, pronounced Ozzie, shortened to Oz :)

I hope you are on the mend and feeling better by now. Just FYI - when you are sick you are supposed to rest!!! Your body is trying to tell you something when it has a fever of 101 & 102! You crazy girl. Instead you go shopping and RUNNING?!? Are you nuts? Good that you are drinking lots. Hang in there and hope your ear is better too. Probiotics will be in the mail to you tomorrow along with a few other requested items.
