First Australia Post!

Hello from Australia! I arrived Wednesday morning at 6am after 24 hours of plane rides and stayed awake all day until about 10:30pm. It was a loooong day, probably because it was 2 days and I missed Tuesday completely. I am still not over the jetlag. Yesterday we walked around Waterloo and the areas around Sydney and went to a Hotel.

Fun fact: Hotel is essentially a pub or a bar here because places that served alcohol used to have to have overnight accommodations. Hence hotel!

Felt like freshman year all over again walking around in a group of 30+, but at least we had a final destination. Jackie, Courtney, Miranda and I successfully navigated a bus home! Goo us! Small victories. Then I promptly passed out by 10:30.

Today we had orientation at Australian Catholic University. Beaaauutiful. Although, still had construction going on like good ‘ol UMass. I hear we got a foot of snow back home? Life’s rouuuugh. We got lunch at this little café and our waiter adored us. Apparently Americas say thank you much more than Australians do, and he appreciated it a lot.

Not much else has happened yet. They have Seinfeld and Ellen on TV though, yippee!
