A is for Australia

so instead of setting up skype dates with all you silly americans i left back in the u s of a, ive decided to take a page out of some fellow campbells books and set up a little blogfest.
i can not guarante that words will be spelt right, or that anything i write will be funny or even remotely interesting........and i do not plan on using capital letters, punctuation, or anything of that nature...

with that said...
ive now been in australia for over a month....gillian and i got here on friday, july 18th...tomorrow is september 1st. it is INSANE to think that much time has gone by....tomorrow starts the 6th week of classes, but since im attempting to take the lightest work load known to man, i only have class wednesday, thursday and friday...and two of those three days i am done at 12:30- just perfect timing to bake in the australian sun. its apparently hotter here because the ozone layer doesnt exist here..im not sure about that part, but im looking forward to wasting my days away in the sand....

the weather isnt too bad, we wear shoes and flipflops now...weve been to the beach too...its only a block away from our dorm..and by dorm i mean a old hotel that the school bought. international students are the only ones who live on "campus" ...its not really a campus, its just school buildings mixed in with cafes, restaurants, some other building things. i dunno, im never really looking at the buildings when i walk..i am either scoping out my nearest surroundings for hot aussy soulmates or avoiding getting hit by cars..they come out of no where and from all sorts of crazy directions.

originally i had a ticket to come home when classes were done, november 22. but then gillian, my roomate from cabrini (we came together and are getting along greaaat) but anyways, we had tickets to fly home...
we decided to extend our trip a little..so now we are going to sydney, brisbane (where we are picking up our rental car---its a convertible) and then from there we are driving to the gold coast, then back brisbane, then hopping on a plane to go to the GREAT BARRIER REEF..and then were gonna hop on another plane and fly to fiji for a week to bake in some more hot tropical sun...and then i guess ill come home.

last nite was a guy in the programs 21st birthday..we rented a party bus which turned out to be some bus with some strobe lights in it..but needless to say, someone could have easily thought it was my birthday due to my behavior..but anyways, i have a headache and blogging isnt really doing it for me. i guess blogging is a verb? i feel like such a computer nerd.

life in australia is the best thing ever.....i miss haku though...i am going to try and find a place to rent a pet or something.

goodnite.
