Life is good, enjoy every week, day, minute, moment... :)
Time has been going by so fast! This week has been gone in a blink of an eye. It's a bit scary to think that it has been half a year of me on the other side of the world. It by far has been the best six months of my life. The friends, memories, laughs, bonds made were life changing and I will never forget them. <3
Tuesday I had my farewell dinner at the Chinese place down the main street. :) It was a good night, about 20 people were there. Definately going to miss them. My experiance here has been that special due to the friendships I have made. :)
If I were to look back on myself six months ago I wouldnt be able to recognize me, I've changed that much. And a change for the better I reckon.
So anyways Tuesday was great, was so good to spend time with all my friends. Then I had Stevie, Kaitlyn and Emily over to stay the night. We thought the ghost was back in my room haunting us, haha so we ran into Cam's room and slept there cause we were all that scared. Was sorta funny though. Then Wednesday it was a girls day in Dubbo. Was a good time, lots of laughs. :)
We were going through the car wash and I declared a competition of who could keep their window down the longest without chickening out and rolling it up against Stevie. Haha the water was coming towards us and Stevie went out right away and rolled hers up, but then mine was halfway up and Vikki accidentially locked it on me, as soon as she did I just freaked cause the water was getting so close to my window that was halfway down, then I just screamed in terror. I guess the look on my face was priceless cause everyone in the car had tears rolling down their eyes from laughing so much. :P
Hahaha. Was a good day. Then came home and packed and was going to head out to Emily's to go rooing, but then it really started to storm bad and it was too wet to go out so I just went over to hers anyways to stay the night. Was a good night too, many more laughs. :) Man I am going to miss all these people. <3
And then got back today, family have started to come over to celebrate Chrissie. We have the slipnslide all set up with lots of soap to go with that, the pools all clean and ready to go, I helped with the ice cream cakes and the next few days will be family filled fun. :) This sure is going to be a Christmas I wont forget. <3
Life is so good, just everything seems to be going perfect at the moment. Don't want it to end. But hey, all good things come to an end at some point, right?
Well anyways that's all I have to write about now. I wish you all the best holiday season, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year! :)
Best wishes, Bailee Jo :)

Love you all, and missing you all during this holiday season, your all in my thoughts. <3

Sydney weekend.
Well last weekend we went to Sydney to visit family and that. Was pretty fun, we got to go shopping at Penrith. The mall was huge! Almost as big as mall of america! I didnt buy that much though, trying to save up my money. One of the day we went to Sydney downtown and got photos with the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We watched this one light show that light up a whole cathedral, it was so amazing! The ride home was really long but we came home on Tuesday. Then I had two daays of school left, today was my last day ever as a Gilgandra High School student. Bit sad, its crazy how fast time has flown. Feels like it was just yesterday when it was my first day of school and I walked through those doors and everyone was crowding me staring like I was some sort of alien. Haha.
Only two weeks left here so Im trying hard to squeeze in everything I can! Then next week sometime Ill have my bitter sweet sixteen/farewell party. All we are doing is going out for Chinese and having some girlfriends over afterwards.
The 28th I leave for Newcastle to live there for a month with my counselor and one week with my Canadian friend Claire. Then the 21st of January I will be moving on the Nelson Bay. No more school now untill February, were on summer vacation! Woohooo! :)
Well going to a party tomorrow night, hanging with friends tomorrow arvo, and hopefully the same for Saturday and Sunday. Spend a few days with Stevie next week. Christmas here with all the family. Then soon Ill be off. Have had such an amazing time here!
Thats all I have for now. Will write soon. Love and miss you all! But dont want to think of coming home.
Plans to stay in Australia forever..
1.) Win the lottery!
2.) Accidentally set fire to my passport. ;)
3. Marry an Aussie! ;)
One of those should do itttt! <3
Love you all. Bye, Xoxo

Rotary Weekend at Tocal.
This past weekend I traveled about five hours east to Tocal, a town close to the coast for a required Rotary weekend together to prep the outbounds and hang out with the inbounds.
We left on Friday, I rode with a Rotarian and another exchange student from Poland. We left around three and got there about nine at night. We stayed at some motel thing, and Karoline had a pretty quite night, we shared the same room. Was'nt the same without Annick, but she will be back in January. :)
Then we had to wake up super early and head over to the Tocal Ag college, where the Rotary weekend was held.
We had quite a bit of seat time, where we would just talk and brief the outbounds going out. Then we had a game of cricket with the rest of the inbounds, I ended up being pretty good at it. Most likely from all my years of softball. It was actually alot of fun. Afterwards we got to head down to the pool and we had a game of water polo. The pool was really nice with a great view of mountains in the background. Saturday night instead of a bush dance this time we had a trivia night with everyone and won lollies and prizes. Then we stayed up till about five in the morning just hanging out and talking. I was so exhausted when I woke up, I could barely function. Haha.
Sunday morning we had chapel at eight, then we had more seat time and played some space game, then there was a speaker and lunch and then hit the road again.
I was a really good weekend with all the students, I love hanging out with them, were like a big Rotary family. :)
The ride home went by very quick because I slept five hours. Got back to Dubbo around six, drove home to Gil, unpacked, swam some laps, and then went off to bed after watching a little bit of shark week.
This week Ill still be in year eleven, and on Thursday we will have our year ten dinner and get all dressed up, then we leave for Sydney shortly after. Then just one more week of school after this one, and holiday break! Wooo hooo!
For holiday break I am just going to be hanging out with friends, Christmas with the Gardiners, then soon after head over to Newcastle and live with my couselor for a while, come back to Gil for my birthday by bus, then back to the coast to live with an exchange student from Canada, and shortly after moving to Nelson Bay to start my second half of my exchange. :) Busy busy! But it's good to keep busy.
Well thats about all I have to write about, having a good time still. :)
Leave your addresses, or email them to me, Im writing Christmas cards and hopefully will get them sent off soon!
Love you all. Thanks for reading. :)
I'll write next week after we go to Sydney to tell all about it.

WORK EXPERIANCE! :)
Well I have had thee best two days at the Dentist in Narromine for work experiance! It's been so cool!
So what I do there is, yesterday I learned how to do the cleaning up after every single patient and how we wipe down the chair and the equiptment and I learned how to set everything back up again. But also whenever a teenager would come in for a teen check I got to do the flouride treatment. :D That was where I would fill these mouthgaurd things with the flouride foam and put them in the patients mouths, then use the suction straw equiptment to get all the saliva out and would have to have my fingers in their mouths to help it move around. Haha I was always so excited when a teenager would walk in! I watched alot of different procedures and learned how to deal with children that are apprehensive about the dentist and picked up some really good tips, asked so many questions, and helped as much as I could. Im just so curious about it all! And then today I got to do alot more, on top of the cleaning and the flouride treatments I got to be the dental assistant. So I would hand her stuff and then got to help put fillings in and use this special light to harden the fillings and use a different suction thing also when cleaning the teeth. I was awesome and Cate (the dentist) said I did a very good job and was proud of me. :)
When I go back home it would be really sweet if I could maybe get some sort of trainee ship just to learn more about dental and the works. Because it would give me a huge benefit for when I head off to college. So.... if your reading this and your from the dentist in PR, just keep an open mind! ;) I would absolutely love it, even if I didn't get paid. :) The experiance would be awesome.
I have had such a good time, I know for sure that is what I want to do now. Since I was five I've had this dream, and this has given me an edge on it.
Sadly I dont have work experiance tomorrow, but Thursday I do and I can not wait!
Friday I head over to Tocal, for a Rotary weekend! Keen as for that!
This past weekend was very busy also, it was a great weekend! Saturday we went shopping and I got my dress for the dinner. :) We came home and headed down to the river to do some fishing. I went for a motor bike ride with a friend which was really fun too. :) Then we all went swimming. There was me, Brent and Cam, Adrian, Joe, Brendan, and George all kids from school. The only girl. :/ Haha, nah it was all good. After we all went swimming we decided to give golf fishing a go and we got a bunch, I video tapped it too so Ill have to figure out how to put that up. :) We got home very late from the river, had tea, skyped a friend, and then was exhausted.
Sunday I hung out with my friend Mallo. we chilled at the pool and went to the park and had some hot chips. Was fun, but got sunburnt, by accident. :/ Then came home, we put up the tree, and then went for a walk and to bed cause work was the next day.
So all is going amazing here! :)
Loving life at the moment! <3
Just a little something for you all... smile; cause life is so good, you only get to live it once, dont take a single thing for granted. Make every day an adventure, time goes by with the blink of an eye.
Thats why Im taking in as much as I can, living up my 'Aussie Adventure'. :) Life couldnt get any better.
Love you all. <3
Best wishes,
