April 25th, or ANZAC Day (Australian New Zealand Army Corps), is a day of big celebration here in Australia. It is a day to remember the group of armed forces from both Australia and New Zealand who served during WWI.

Susie Moskop
Keep Calm and College On
My name is Susie Moskop, and I'm a sophomore journalism/vis-comm double major here at Loyola. I came to Chicago from Peoria, Illinois, which is a town consisting of little more than cornfields and farms. Chicago is my playground, and I jump at every opportunity for a new adventure! I'm very active on campus and in the community. I work with the Loyola Phoenix, volunteer at PAWS Chicago, and much more.
Sydney, Australia
April 17th, 2013
Break part two! Sydney was probably number one on my list of places to visit while studying abroad in Australia. Calling it beautiful is an understatement. When I stepped out of the airport and got my first views of the city, I was instantly reminded of Chicago, which was really comforting to me. The crowds, [...]
Koalas and Kangaroos and Devils, Oh My!
April 9th, 2013
Easter break gave me my first real opportunity to travel and see what Australia has to offer beyond Melbourne and Victoria. I never in my life thought I would get to see Tasmania, but I did and it was beyond beautiful. I’ve been lucky enough to have met friends here at school that have the [...]
The Game of Footy
March 27th, 2013
Footy – it’s a big deal. I finally got the opportunity to see my first match, as the season here is just starting to kick off. This match was just a scrimmage at my school in preparation for the upcoming games, but it was still great fun. In my opinion, the game resembled something between [...]
O’Week at Deakin
March 21st, 2013
Orientation week, or o’week as they call it, is more than just getting acquainted with the campus and crowds of new faces, it’s a tradition here at my host school in Australia, Deakin University. Not only is it the last week until summer ends and classes begin, but the week is filled with events, new [...]
Beach Welcome Trip
March 13th, 2013
This week past week, I got the amazing experience of visiting Lorne, Australia. Lorne is a beach town about three hours from where I am staying in Melbourne. My host university set up this trip for all the international students, as a chance for us to meet each other as well as settle into Australian [...]
Hello from Melbourne, Australia
March 3rd, 2013
After 31 hours of traveling, I’m finally here! The feeling is incredible. I’ve worked for months making sure I was prepared by reading books, filling out paperwork and visiting advisors. As I stepped out of the airport I knew it was finally time for the pay off! The first and biggest difference I noticed about [...]
Finals Breakfast
December 12th, 2012
Yesterday night was the annual Finals Breakfast. It happens on the Tuesday night of every finals week, as a chance for students to take a break from studying and enjoy some free food since there are no exams on Wednesday. Since I have been at Loyola, I have attended every semester, each one equally as [...]
Operation Study Abroad
December 3rd, 2012
During my senior year of high school, I had the opportunity to travel to South Korea for a mission trip where I taught at a local school, visited many popular tourist spots and explored the Korean culture and lifestyle. Through this experience, I learned how much I loved traveling and experiencing different parts of the [...]
A Little Touch of Christmas
November 29th, 2012
Yesterday, I got an e-mail telling me I had a package and needed to come to the mailroom to pick it up. Getting a package is a big deal for me, especially when no one told me to be expecting it in advance. I headed to the mailroom and got the package. Inside, was a [...]
