As I mentioned before, last weekend Nicole and I went to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. Since you can get a pretty good play by play on her blog (click here), and pictures on her Flickr (click here), I'll be a little less detailed here.
Nonetheless, hanging out with the socialized kangaroos was pretty sweet. Probably my favorite part of the experiences, as cool as the koalas were. The roos were just a lot more interactive, especially if you had food in your hand and they weren't already full (it was towards the end of the day, they had already eaten a lot of tourist dollars). There were some wallabies too, and emus, which I find hilarious. They're pretty ridiculous looking birds. After wandering around for a while with the kangaroos and just as we were about to leave the enclosure we came across a mother nursing her joey.
We then got to cuddle a Koala named Linus and pay another 15 bucks to have our picture taken with him (we have to scan it, it will be online shortly), in the meantime take a look above to see Nicole and our buddy. We also saw some wombats (Jim...), a bunch of birds, crocodiles, dingoes and echidnas.

I'm also changing my major again, I kind of missed the business mindset and have pretty much exhausted all of the geography courses of interest to me at DU. I was also kind of steered away by the Urban and Regional Design class I was going to take- it was pretty much an engineering course. Not my cup of tea. I'll stick to the hospitality and business side of things thank you. I've always had an interest in marketing and I've done pretty well at it, plus at this point it works out best so that I can still graduate 2 quarters early. I'll have a BSBA in Marketing with a minor in Geography.

That sounds so cool! I want to hang out with marsupials. Way to avoiding engineering. You should see how many times you can change your major while still graduating on time.
