Down Undaz!

Upon stepping outside the airport in Melbourne this morning, I was attacked by a pack of rapid kangaroos. Well, not actually, but it would have been cooler than what did happen. Customs was a breeze. I actually checked on my card that I had meds with me and nobody asked about it. I should have actually brought a few boxes. A German girl was flying in shortly after me so Nassir, the guy who picked us up, and Tina (German girl)drove us to the Int house. Tina was pretty cool so after we dropped our stuff off, we hung out most of the day. Went to a Thai restuarant just past the uni. It was ok, but pretty expensive. 4 of the tinest spring rolls I've ever seen for $6AU. Crazy. The place I live isn't exactly close to anything. There are 3 Christian girl schools within 2 blocks of here. Luckily, one of them is a college. The place is ok. The gym, pool and "spa" weren't exactly what I thought they would be. The gym is enough for me, but being that there are rooms for 83 people on this compound, it may be difficult to work out. The pool is too small for laps, and the "spa" is a jacuzzi in a tiny room where the rain leaks in. Ahh well, no worries. There is a lounge with a very big-screen tv and a pool table. I've been feeling quite good about everything. The plane ride was pretty crappy, but I didn't get upset, or angry or anxious or anything.

A nice Vietnamese girl named Hang came to set up my computer and I made her promise to teach me some Vietnamese. She is the only Asian girl I have met here so far. There are too many Westerners in this place. German 1, Danish 1, Swedes 2, Americans 6 that I have met so far. I am the first in my apartment to arrive. No clue who my flatmates are, but I have a strong feeling it won't be the hot Japanese and Thai girls I had been hoping for.

I am pleased with my internet connection, but the computer is pretty rough. My email account can hold more than my hard drive can. As for RAM, don't even ask. Guess I'll hafta take it easy on the porn and games after all. I suppose its for the best.

I have 50 invites now for Gmail. Anybody want in?

Here I am with a few people I used to work with while we were at Fridays bar that we frequented.
