Hey all, me again! As promised, not as large of a gap between posts. So, i've been in Melbourne visiting my friend Lauren Mendis for three days and a bit now. I caught a train on friday night, and ended up being in the last car, car G, which was pretty much unoccupied. At the start of the trip, there were three of us in it. An older Aussie lady, myself and a mid-20s British guy. The british dude Steve and i ended up talking for quiet awhile, and he took a lot of delight in ripping on the 'Yanks' as [View Full Entry]

Hey all, I know its been awhile since my last post, and i still dont have any pics uploaded. Sorry, but think of it as good things come to those who wait, ok? so, I've been to and from wollongong, which is where my big brother Nick goes to uni. I've pretty much fallen in love with the place, and am considering doing a sem exchange or maybe even a full year there.

So, its day three here in lovely Sydney, and i think i might be over jet lag, or getting pretty close to it. I woke up at 7am, and its almost 6pm now and i'm not ready to take a noise dive due to exhaustion. YAY! I met my 3rd roomie today. Shes from Germany, and her name is Chris. She seemed really relieved to have someone to talk to when she first arrived (both our other roomies were hung over from the nights festivities). She's very ELS, but those who know me well know that doesnt really stop me. Or [View Full Entry]

Hey all, Just wanted to let everyone know that i managed to make it down under alright. My 14 hour plane ride to Sydney from San Fran was pretty long, especially because i was in the economy section with all the little babies. Who liked to cry. I landed in Sydney at about 6:15 am local time (i dont know what that is back home, just that i was reallly tired), got through customs with my brothers two wishlist items ok, and managed to get to the hostel via shuttle bus. I met a Canadian university student from victoria who had [View Full Entry]
