   AUSTRALIA
Question mark mood: slight headache, tired, ammused.

Thanks for the comments, Kelsey. I read them a long time ago so I don't really remember what they say. My internet is working for the forst time since I've been here, but there is no guarentee that it'll stick around. I better make this post fast.

I'm in Australia! I went from the 16th to the 18th without living the 17th. Coming back I live one day twice. It'll be cool. All my shampoo exploided, but they were in bags.

I'm next to the beach, so before school started I was going to the beach everyday to walk. I don't go so much anymore since the ocean wants to drown me. And it's winter here so it gets kind of cold sometimes. I haven't seen much animal wise. Lizards, snakes, bugs, birds, and giant bats. We have a magpie, my cabin. We named him Nox. He eats from our hands and has come into our living room. I do love magpies so much.

I used to go to the pub a lot, but that was before classes started. I was slightly embarrassed by the other Americans. Unless there is a rugby game people aren't getting wasted. But the Americans would cluster together and get wasted, leaving the Australias I'm playing pool with to ask me what is wrong with them. The Americans have since taken to drinking on the beach while I go to a local's house. I haven't drank in a long time since I don't like the taste, so when I go to this guy's house I drink lemonade while my two friends drink the beer/liquor. We go to this guy's house because he's currently sleeping with one of my friends. Things move fast here.

Romance wise for me...none. I met a cute guy the first Thursday I was here, but that's it. Just a name, and I haven't seen him since. I smoked my first and only cigarette that night. Now I can say for sure I have no idea the appeal to it. It was really gross.

Our vacation is coming up. I'm probably going to shoot down to Tasmania alone. Other people are going, but I want to explore on my own a bit. Then we're all going to Sydney after the vacation. Opera house! Zoo! I'm excited.

Alright, I'm tired. It's only 20:31 Monday here. (But 6:31 Sunday in the East Coast States.) Post later.
