No longer homeless...

Sorry it's been so long since my last blog, but I have very good reasons.

1. I MOVED INTO MY APARTMENT! That's right after 3 and half weeks of being a nomad, I have a home. And it is absolutely wonderful. It's so nice to come home to MY bed! Ours was the last apartment finished, so there are still a few things needed to be done and delivered, like our second fridge, and some cabinet handles. But other that that, it is absolutely AMAZING. The view is unreal. I will be getting the internet there within the next week so the must anticipated pictures will finally be posted. So just hang on another week.

2. I FINALLY STARTED SCHOOL. And I absolutely love it. I adore the campus and really enjoy my classes so far. I am taking three; Art History, Contemporary Australia, and an English Literature class. I only have classes on Tues, Wed, Thurs, which is also a plus, especially when I start planning trips. I also have a job working for Toby's uncle at a phone company, so I will be trying to be productive with my time. I actually start tomorrow, which is exciting. So I will also be getting an AWESOME phone soon, perks of working at a cell phone company!!

Other than that, I've just been getting settled in and into a routine. We have been walking to school, which is definetly something new to me, it's about a mile each way approx. but I think I'm also going to get a bus pass soon, because I also plan on going into the city a lot, because it's a lot of fun down there. And we walked to the bar last night, which was also about a mile each way. I've never done so much walking in my life! But it's good for me...they say...and the gym membership here is really expensive, so walking and playin soccer at the nearby park will probably be my exercise here.

I might be going down to Sydney next weekend, but that's still up in the air, and there's also been talk about trying to go to the Commonwealth games in Melborne. We will see, still living day by day, not really knowing what the next day will bring.

I will also be on skype once we get the internet, so if anyone wants to download it, it's free, and we will be able to talk for free over the internet. And it's not like instant messenger, it's actual talking..like from your mouth!! :) The website is Skype.com I also have a webcam, so my mug will be on there too!

Alright well I'm off to get my work visa.

Love and Miss you all! xoxoxo
