#58 - In Which I Miss My Internet Connection. A Lot.

HELLO EVERYONE!! FROM AUUSSTRAALLIIAAA!

Now let me give you some bullet points. Or Cheat Sheets, as my econs lecturer likes to call'em.

- FOOD : Great, Awesome, Awesome, Great, But boarding house food is not great or awesome. I'm living on Lygon, home to the great and terrible power of Italian restaurants, but I can't eat there except for Saturday night and Sunday. Gelato rocks my socks. Il Dolce Freddo's FOREVER!

- PEOPLE : Well they're okay I don't really care I guess. People randomly swear on the street. People drop precision F-strikes all over the place. Like, '....I mean what the **********!!! ***** him right!!!' And I'm walking past them like, 'Yeah. Totally man. Awesome.' And. I have a feeling that all Aussies are just a bit. Lazy. Hahaha.

- PLACE : Clean like anything. My room is huge like anything. There's a graffiti lane down in town (nearby, btw) that is GOR.GE.OUS. Supercool! The town is reaallly near. I walk everywhere. I've walked out of town. I love it. No cars for me!

- PRICE : Don't even. I pretend I don't have to convert anymore. Close both my eyes and see only AUD. No more ringgit.

- WEATHER : Spastic. Crazy. PMSing. Batshit insane. It's freezing cold in the morning, then the sun breaks out and shines hot in the afternoon, up to twenty degrees or more. Then the rain clouds come in low, darkening the sky midway through the noon. Then it drizzles. Then the sun comes out. Then the wind blows. At night it drops to below ten degrees, and you turn the heater on and off. IN SUMMER.

- COLLEGE : Whatever. Same old nose grinder. Except with nicer teachers and a much more awesome environment. Trees and benches and parks and large classes and whatnot. Okay, so my subjects are WAAAY more interesting than my previous (shitty.) Malaysian syllabus. Media and Communications, Mr. Malaysian Government? Psychology? Environment and Development? Economics (IN ENGLISH?) History, but not HISTORY, history, rather, History of 'Ideas'. English made up of drama and literature. Yeah. Malaysia sucks. XD
We supposed to call our lecturers by first name. And I can't do it, I'm sorry. They're either Miss, Sir, or teach to me!

-FRIENDS : We're all asian. All chinese looking. It's a darn second Asia here, and it's hilarious. Oh. And Australians seem to think that sushi is huuuugggeee. Oh well, it tastes good. Albert house people are all insane, like me. So we kind of suit. Ha. Ha. Ha.

- SCENERY : Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous, super gorgeous. St. Kilda beach is spectacular. As well as the whole darn city. So to speak. It's got these old gothic buildings, as well as new modern funky green red buildings. RMIT with it's redbrick and yellowstone walls next to the Melbourne central with its red umbrella-sausages and modern architecture. Victoria state library with its white stone pillars and triangular roof next to starbucks. My uni (Which my college is in) is humongoginormous. Supercalifragibigous. Megagiganticonomous. Big, so to speak. And awesome.

Well. Break for now! I'll come back to talk to you later. Spastic updates maybe. I dunno. I've got lots of reading work every week.
