LAAAAAAADDDIIEESSSS! I've finally settled down enough to start this fantastically interesting blog that will add to your list of online procrastination tools, including but not limited to facebook, abc.com, youtube, and any other internet entertainment.

So for the past week I've been staying in a hostel because I can't move into my permanent housing until the end of next week (which, turns out it sucks, but more about that momentarily). Aside from the whole, having to fend for myself food-wise, its actually pretty legit. I've locked myself out of my room approximately 45 times, because the shower is in another building and, surprise surprise, I always forget it before I leave my room. That's okay though, because it gives me more excuses to look like a dumb american in front of the super hot guy who runs the front desk. no big.

As it turns out, my permanent housing is small and I would have shared a room with this extremely dirty/weird girl, which I refuse to ever do again. It's also mad far away from campus so I decided to get an apartment closer by with another girl Katie who goes to Indiana University. We're moving in next week and I am SO excited.

I haven't really done anything too thrilling yet, aside from going out every single night (aussie's party like there is no tomorrow), I've been to the harbor and wandered around the university aimlessly. I don't start classes until March 2nd so next weekend we're probably planning a trip to the Blue Mountains, and other great places.

I'll do my best to end every post with an interesting fact about Australia, so here's the first:

On Koalas:

1) The entire population of Koalas carry Chlamydia, which is exacerbated by stress. moral of the story, don't scare a koala.
