In just a few days I'm shipping off to Australia! I have not yet begun to pack and am kind of freaking out over everything I still have to do. I have NO clue what to expect, but I hope to keep in contact with everyone while I'm gone! I'll try to post here as much as possible with pictures and info of what I've been up to!
In the meantime, anyone can always write to me at:
202 Oberon Street
Coogee UNSW 2034

My SKYPE name is: michael.koppel (i needed a break from gramkracka). For those of you who do not know what Skype is, it's just like AIM but it's a free way to actually speak to other people online. So, if you have a microphone or a webcam, you could download that and talk to me. (Click the link to go to the download page!)
Otherwise, I bought a number which allows you to use any phone - house/cell/whatever - to call my computer and we can talk that way. It's a PA number, so whatever it would normally cost you to call a PA number, that's how much it'll still cost. It won't give any sort of international fee. Plus, if I'm not there, you can leave me a message, which I would still love! That number is: (215) 764-6324. Call me all the time! I need to hear what everyone is up to! (And basically... I doubt I'll ever be able to actually call anyone myself.)
I'll still try to get on AIM as much as possible!!! (and if I'm on Skype I'll most likely be on AIM at the same time...) And I'll eventually post a photo site because I know I won't be able to post them all on here. (For those who have facebook, they'll all be there too!)
I leave this Saturday and arrive in Sydney the morning of Monday, February 19th. Remember, it's 16 hours ahead there! And just in case any of you feared for my safety travelling all alone (I know... I would, too!) I found a friend online named Caryn who's on my flight. (Honestly, she made me add this part.) I will refer to her in later posts as Cookie --- as in, "Cookie made me hold her hair back as she puked all throughout the 24-hour flight."
So, until I hear from you all next, I hope you have a great... 4 months without me? Comment, email me (gramkracka@verizon.net), IM me, Skype me, call me, write me!

(By the way, do NOT keep me updated on TV shows. First off, I'll never speak to you again. Harsh, but true. Second, I hope to keep myself updated online. I'll initiate the TV talk! And lastly, if you throw out a "CAN YOU BELIEVE ____ GOT KICKED OFF SURVIVOR LAST NIGHT?!?!" just to be funny... I think I'll come home and kill you.)

I am soooo excited for you! You really are going to have the best time, ever (as long as the snakes/spiders/jellyfish/octopus/wallabies/etc don't kill you). So, if you're in Perth, remember to take care of that little deed for me. Otherwise, I will be talking to you on Skype very soon! Oh hey, don't forget to talk to my friend Elizabeth (the one who was there fall semester) if you have any questions on what to expect. Have a great flight!
I love your little website and am waiting for pictures of everything. Can't wait to do the Skype thing with you for real.
