I'm still alive! I know I seemed to have disappeared off the face of the earth for a while, but I have excuses for why this is! Once school started and assignments were becoming due, things just got really hectic! Then, right after Danae visited for a week, my computer decided it didn't want to work anymore. I took it to the nearest repair place and they had to send it somewhere and all this junk that took over 6 weeks to fix. That was really crappy for when I needed to write papers and stuff! I've been trying to keep in touch with people on facebook and stuff but it's so freakin hard when I've got so much to do here. So, I got my computer back a week after mid-semester break was over... then I went up to Brisbane again and it was taken from my room in my hostel. Turns out the maid had put it in lost and found... but I didn't know this until I had already flown home to Sydney. So the hostel shipped it to me after not having it for another week and I got it back two days ago. That's the story. Now, I am going to try to go back and fill in all the crazy fun stuff that I did over break and all that... but I'm sure it won't ever get done until long after I've already come home to Oregon. We'll see. For now, I am preparing for a crazy halloween night here in Sydney, but I have to take it easy because I have bronchitis... I hate being sick!

Until next time (minus the 2 month long gap!)
