First 24hrs

Okay, still jet lagged. Joan and I woke up ridiculously early, and went to bed ridiculously early, but everything seems to be chugging along. It's a little bit overwhealming, and I hate that. I just feel like there is so much pressure on me to succeed and make sure everything appens for me, and I don't even know where to begin.

Things I do know.

I got here at 9:30 in the morning yesterday, it was mine and Joan's goal to stay up for 10 hours, and not go to go to sleep before that. Well Joan made it 7 or so, I made it 12 or so. The hostel is really nice, we have bunk beds, hah! They started playing, at 8am this morning, Ring of Fire. Yesterday they were playing something equally as strange for a hip little hostel in Melbourne.

It's cold. Like not bitter winter cold, but it's like 55-60, and it's the heart of fall. Trees have no leaves, and we are walking around in cardigans and sweaters. It's sorta weird, not because it's cold. But because it's fall in June. That just blows my mind.

The city is the hippest place I've ever been. Not even joking. The skyscrapers are art deco, the big squares are crazy looking, everything is just...hip. All the kids wear uniforms to school, but I'm guessing on the weekends they are just littering the town. The tram system seems really easy and reliable. Not too expensive, $140 for a month. I got a phone, which is a piece of shit, and if you saw me with it you'd probably laugh your ass off because of how stupid I am with it. But it was cheap, and should work fine for a year.

I have internet that I'm stealing, and Joan and I are about to ride into the city to grab free internet from a cafe or something, because she doesn't have it at the hostel. Stealing internet to find internet to steal. Hah.

I don't know what else to post really. I'm excited, but worried. I can't wait to make friends. I can't wait to have my own place. I can't wait to just sit around in Melbourne and know that it's my life now, rather than any other place I've been. This is home I guess.

Don't expect many pictures on this blog, I didn't bring my camera so any of the pictures will be from my webcam in my computer. We will see though.

Okay, we're heading into town. <3
