Lisa the Australian - Part III

Whew. Today was a long day: I had the final exam for the first class in my Master's course - not the worst experience ever, but not the best, and I'm relieved it's done. Anyhoodle...

So, remember how I was talking waaaaaaay back in January about becoming a dual citizen? Well - tomorrow is the big day, because I'm taking the citizenship test! I had to make the appointment months in advance, so this has actually been coming on for a long time - I can't believe it's finally here!

I'm a weensy bit nervous, although I think it will be relatively easy, at least going by the sample test the Department of Immigration has on their website.

I love this. LOVE it. Australia is SO into sports...I'm dying to know if the USA asks questions about Joe DiMaggio on their citizenship exam.

I have to travel to Dubbo to take the exam; we're staying overnight, so while we're there we're going to check out the Taronga Western Plains Zoo - I love zoos, and we're doing a special dawn tour where you get to see areas that are normally off-limit, so it should be pretty awesome!

Squeeeee! Giraffes! My favorite animal at the zoo, along with elephants.

I promise to bring back as many photos as my little point-and-shoot can handle (which between you and me, it isn't many - it doesn't do well in low light conditions, and I'm assuming I won't be able to use a flash for fear of a rhino stampede)...wish me luck!
