Prepped for the Prom
Well this is gonna be a rather short post, since it’s late and I need to get to bed soon. Last Friday I went out to James & Ali’s house (some family friends), it was a very relaxing day, and very good to get off campus for a few hours. While I was out there […]
Still coughing
Well, I’ve passed the two-month mark of my arrival here in Australia, it’s hard to believe it’s already been two months. But most of the last week has been dominated by this awful cough that I still have. I saw one of the doctors at the Health Services office in the campus centre last Thursday, […]
Already September?!?
Another week is in the books, and it’s already September. How did it get to Be September already?!? I’ve been down here for very nearly exactly two months, and the semester is already half done. Time sure is flying! Last Friday night I went to a footy game at the MCG with my friends Rowan […]

Fair Dinkum Aussie Tucker
This past week has been full of new experiences for me. Last Friday right after I got done with class I went down to South Melbourne, in response to a flyer I saw in my dorm’s common room earlier in the week. The ad was looking for American males who were interested in some voiceover […]
G’day from down under!
I’m in Australia! I’ve been preparing for this trip for so long, it’s hard to believe that it’s here already! After saying goodbye to family and friends, I flew out of Minneapolis back on July 4th, and after a bit of a layover in Los Angeles, I arrived in Melbourne back on the morning of […]
