My New Roommate

Australia is still pretty amazing. Although I have not traveled around yet, the people here at St. Paul's are awesome, welcoming, and fun. Things are still a little bit lazy here; everyone is preparing either themselves or events for "O" Week. I am so stoked for the festivities to begin. Here is a list of my major accomplishments over the past few days:

1. Getting a job in the kitchen washing dishes/cleaning. It looks like I will work between 7-10 hours a week and will get paid...what's that, how much? $18+ an hour! Money in the bank.

2. I have been running, and not in the kind you do to escape a dingo or crocodile, but rather, the exercise form that some people call enjoyable. I have been doing probably like 2 miles, maybe a little bit more but then I have to stop because of the heat and humidity. I have also been hitting the gym on the days in between running days. I am set on not turning into a chub down here.

3. I am officially going to play rugby. More information at a later date.

4. I went out to the Tavern last night. All I have to say is Australians take consuming alcohol to a whole new level. I think I not only surprised everybody here but more importantly I surprised myself...enough said.

5. I have a new roommate...although, he creeps me out a little. I don't know how he got in and he doesn't touch my stuff...he's more like a fly on the wall. My neighbor said his kind are keeping the bugs at bay, so I guess that's a plus. I don't want to be controlling or anything but I would like to know where he is at all times even though I don't. Here is a picture of him...better than a spider, that's what I say.
