Australia!!!

I finally got to Murdoch around midday today (it's 12 hours ahead of the eastern time zone). My flights all went well, but I was afraid I would miss my flight from Sydney to Perth because I only had a two hours lay over and had to reclaim luggage, go through customs, get a boarding pass, take a bus to the other terminals, and find my gate. I made it with only 10-15 minutes to spare! The rest of the flights went well, and I even slept for almost all of the 14-hour flight from LA to Sydney!

All of the people in our CIEE group seem nice and we are going to Fremantle (the port city about 20 minutes away) tomorrow to get our phones and anything else that we need. The flats aren't very nice, and they're co-ed which is weird. I've only met three of my flatmates and they are all guys from Australia, which is weird because they said that the village is only about 40% Australians and 60% international students. I've also heard a lot of other people that were walking around speaking with Australian accents but that may just be that they moved in earlier. I'm also pretty sure that there is another girl in my flat because there are two bathrooms and one has makeup in it, but I haven't seen her yet. For dinner, the CIEE students had a pizza party. The pizza was dominoes, and made a lot of us laugh. It wasn't very good though because there wasn't any cheese or pepperoni, just gross things.

I'm not completely sure of how the internet works, but I have to buy it and don't fully understand the plan, so I'm not sure how often I will be able to get on.

I tried to upload pictures, but it is taking too long so I'll try some other time.

For now, I'm going to just relax and go to bed early! It's been a lot of traveling!
