Settling in!

So I have successfully moved into my new place at the International House on campus! I have made friends with a Dutch girl and a Canadian girl who im sure I will spend most of my time with, I also have made some friends with some guys from Washington who I met on the program intro! Im living in the international house "townhouses" so im considered a "townie." What that means is that I live in the more "mature" housing center. Theres 6 of us in our townhouse and I live on the 2nd floor with my own room and the shower is down the hall... we all share one bathroom on the 1st floor. Theres another shower down there as well. I have only met 2 of my housemates, Lee from South Korea and Bernt from Germany, no girls get, but im sure I will meet them today! I dont currently have internet at my place so I havent been able to post the awesome videos and pics from my scuba diving adventure and my travels in the rainforest!

I signed up for a weekend surf trip with a bunch of other students I met on the program intro, so I will learn how to surf which is fun!

Im currently going through "O" week, which is orientation week. Its ok so far, alot of information that Ive hear many other times. Im looking into getting a job, and also joining up with the Ultimate Frisbee team on campus!

The city 0f Newcastle is alot of fun, and Ive been out with some aussies and americans so far! Ive also been shopping to get all the neccessitys!

Its exspensive over here! So im dealing with trying to pinch my pennies in a naturally expensive place! Its gorgeous though, like walking in paradise, very green and tropical!

I will update everyone with more info later!

Cheers Mates!
