Tired.

Hello hello hello!

So here's a brief update, since not much has happened since my last massive post. We have started O-week (orientation week). It's a big deal. There are all these events going on to help new students adjust to life here. We went to what we thought was international student day yesterday (Tuesday) but it turns out it was on Monday and we missed it. Bravo eh? But we met with someone anyway and he asked us all these questions and it turns out we managed to have everything done on our own that people would have helped us with anyway! Nice! :)

But we did sign up for an excursion on Saturday which will be really really fun. We're going on a dolphin watching cruise, and then to a fauna farm where we can feed kangaroos and pet koalas. I'm so so so excited. I need to charge my cameras for that one! :)

I should probably mention that there are cockroaches here like you wouldn't believe. It is kind of difficult walking at night because I always keep an eye out for them- they're constantly underfoot. Gross.

And there are also these huge ships that go into the harbor that's kind of near my place, and they ALWAYS honk their super loud horns, and it scares me every time. This morning they jolted me out of sleep at 7 AM. Thanks ship guys. Thanks. I always manage to think it's my phone vibrating for some reason. Stupid... haha! I'm really tired today for some reason, even though I got a good, normal amount of sleep. I think it's because it's cloudy today. We might be going to the beach anyway though.

We went grocery shopping yesterday and I found some comforts of home- ketchup that actually looks like ketchup, along with cheese (yes!) and grapes. Really yummy grapes. So I'm getting used to stuff. Life has been so much better now that I have a fan. I feel like I'll be forever grateful for that!

I'm still missing everyone from home a lot, and I'll be on Skype tomorrow (your Wednesday) probably around 5 or 6PM your time so if you want to chat, let me know!! :)

Love you all.
