Monash university

so im staying at Monash University in australia for the semester and let me tell you its beautifullllll and so big. Like i'm gonna have body builder calf muscles by the end of this all the walking you have to do, in flip flops (or thongs as they say here). Well so far the aussie kids havent moved in (p.s dont you love how im adding in all this australian slang like i've been here forever its been three days i need to relax lol), ok so anyway its just the exchange students and study abroad students here so far. i've met people from the U.S, sweden, england, and here in australia. Its cool meeting people because they all have really cool accents, people seem to really liek my name too so bonus points for me. So the campus is huge, the dorm rooms are tiny tiny tinyyyyyyyyy, we have a room to ourself and co-ed bathrooms to share with the floor (so that means im gonna be seeing hotties get out the shower for the next five months, yes be jealous its only appropriate lol). So let me tell you, the bugs are eating me alive, my ankles are covered in buggie bites idk what kinda bugs either, the bites dont itch or turn into bumps they are just red dots. i dont know, whatever tho right. anyways, so they drive on the opposite side of the road here and its weird cuz i'll look at a car and see a kid in the seat where the driver side is for us and im like ahhh you're too young to drive but then i see the steering wheeel is on the other side lol..The weather is really nice, very very sunny for the most part theres a cool breeze in the afternoon which makes it so nice to lay out and get skin cancer but not be ridiculously hot. apparently i've been told theres no o zone layer here, idk im not a science major i could be lying to you right now im just telling you what i heard so google it first before you spread that lol. Umm the accents are ridiculously sexy just like you imagine. Yes the drinking age here is 18 and yes i've already gotten drunk lol Liquor is ridiculously expensive so wine and beer is where its at for me because im so cheap lol..the hardest part about being here is not being able to contact my family whenever i want, for the first two days i couldnt call or use the internet, i have a phone now and am working on my internet now..speaking of phones let me just put this out here, vent a little bit about my issue. Ok so T-mobile um im leaving yall i mean soon as i got to new zealand my phone stopped working and hasnt worked since, maybe you thought i didnt want or need to use my ohone since im not in the USA but um yea i do thank you for the jerk move on your part...ok back to the blog lol..So yeah i liek it here a lot, it doesnt quite feel like school yet, it seems more like summer camp. Speaking of school i need to get my classes together ugh i had to change my schedule like 50 times cuz my classes conflict with each other and i dont have that power to be in two places at once...Slowly things are becoming less chaotic as im getting my technology and connection to the world back...Oh wait i must tell you, loyola univesity has a terrible reputation here for beign messy drunks and only sticking with each other which i can confirm about most people on this trip. So im trying to keep myself apart from that you know, cant have a bad rep, im a good girl you know lol...But overall i love Monash University and Australia!
