First Day of School

Hey everyone,

Well, today was my first day of school...pretty exciting. So we made it to our apartment last Saturday and there were already some cockroaches living with us so that was a nice surprise. Just my luck. If anyone knows how much I hate bugs, I'm sure you're laughing right now. So school...we've been to the beach, shopping and that's about it. There are some fun bars around that we've been to. The uni is practically forcing alcohol on us--ha, glad to hear that huh dad? I've met some really cool people, Aussies and Americans. We had a free dinner at Underwater World and also went to the Zoo for free, Steve Irwins zoo that is. Michelle and I live with a local named Nic. He is only 17 and likes to make fun of Americans but other than that he is really nice. Having my own bathroom is awesome and bedroom for that matter. We have to watch out for toads, snakes and spiders when walking at night but other than that the bugs are ok. There are kangaroos all over campus too! I almost forgot about them. Walking by one on the way to class isn't a big deal anymore. I'll post my address too, not that I'm expecting mail but for those of you who want it.....57/8 Varsityview Court

I miss you all and will try to get a picture or two posted. I would also love a comment once in a while, I like you hear back too. Well I have a dentist appointment in a bit (i'll keep you updated on the results--ha). See ya. Luv, hil
