G'day everyone! It's 5pm here on Wednesday. I've missed American Idol and am trying to cope with that but I think I'll make it. I still don't have internet yet but hopefully will by this weekend. I am seriously going insane without it! I do have a cell phone though, so if anyone ever has a phone card and wants to call, my number is... 416813538 - but you have to put the country code and all before that. I think you add something like 01161 before but don't trust me with that. My mom knows and the internet probably knows, too. So get at them.
It's so damn hot and humid here but I'm having a great time. Monday I got in and got my classes situated. Then got home and passed out. Yesterday I got up, met some friends at the Study Abroad Office and bought phones. Then I went out with my housemates to one of their friends' houses and had a lot of fun and met some really nice people. Granted I drank way too much and had not eaten since about 11am - it wasn't pretty. We headed out to a bar called The Palace, which apparently is the hot spot for students here. (I can't believe I just said that - I sound like I'm 90.) I don't remember much there... except sleeping next to the toilet and then throwing up over a wall onto the beach. I probably shouldn't talk about that but it was pretty funny. Then we all sat on the beach for a little and went home. Today I went to the beach and laid out for a while. It's so nice there! I have pics and will post as soon as I get some damn internet!
That's basically what I've been up to so far. Tomorrow is orientation so hopefully I'll meet a lot of people. I don't remember if I mentioned my house yet, but people are still moving in. Everyone so far has been great, though, even if our house is a beast. Dirty as hell... dead (mostly) cockroaches laying all around. We actually did get a brand new fridge today which is great. The other one was covered in mold.
Hopefully my next post will come from my room (which has a TV in it - randomly - the only one besides the one in the common room) with pics and all. As much as I love it here, I miss everyone so so so so so so much and love to hear from you. So comment here, email me, text me (i can get them on the cell phone number i wrote before - i might not always be able to respond because it costs like 25 cents a text but I'll definitely try).
By the way - I have yet to see any kangaroos or koalas. I thought they were supposed to be at every corner! What's up with that?!?!?!
And another thing: this is the hilliest place I have ever been. I swear if walking as much as I do every day does not get me in shape, the world is against me!
Until next time!!!!
Michael
