Having Internet is Amazing!

I finally have internet! It might not be the best and it's limited, but it definitely makes life 1000x better here. Not being able to communicate lately has been a killer but this is definitely a big help! So now everyone can Skype me and I can answer and hear your voices!

I WILL have pictures up soon. I promise! I just think it's gonna take up too much memory to do it here so I'll have to on campus or something.

I went into Sydney today for the first time with my friend Caryn and it is soooo nice and clean. Saw the bridge... saw the Opera House - now I really feel like I'm here. Being at the beach is amazing but getting into the city was definitely needed to feel like I'm really in Australia. We took a ferry to the Taronga Zoo and it was amaaaaazing. I took so many pictures of everything, including a bear going to the bathroom in mid-air. It was pacing back and forth across a log and I realized it was just like Teddy and Kolby before they're about to explode. Anyway, that was fun - so was seeing the middle of a ridiculous gorilla fight. Saw kangaroos and koalas for the first time here - along with the apparently "cuter-than-cute" Bilby - and the usual lions, tigers, zebras, and the most photogenic giraffes in the world.

I'll definitely update more later - although there hasn't been so much going on - or maybe there has and I've just had too much to drink and forget it all. That's happening way too much in too little of a time period but I'm sure things will slow down once classes start.
