This past weekend, Rebecca, Bennett, and I took the free ferry to Cockatoo Island for the 17th Biennial art exhibition “CLOSING AUGUST 1ST!!!”. The ferry ride over was absolutely stunning, what with the 70-ish degree weather and sunshine – something that hasn’t been seen in these parts for quite some time. We made it to …
School has been very…hands-on so far. On my second day, we dissected locusts in bio lab. I don’t know if you’ve seen a locust lately but these aren’t small insects. They are giant, swarming grasshoppers, each individual maybe the length of my longest finger. Everyone else in lab acted like this was totally normal – …
I may be a G, but I’m also a big dummy. That photo of 3 Creek on here is actually the house next door. So, now, I present to you, my actual home at 3 Creek Street: (to be posted at a later date.) Burthday party part 2 turned out better than expected. I sent …
These last few days have been a blur…I moved into 3 Creek two days ago by way of haphazardly setting up my bed and putting my clothes away but I have yet to actually sleep there. Allow me to explain: On Tuesday night, Lydia, Josh, Julia, and I went to Side Bar (in no way …

-Everything here is absurdly expensive. I’m talking like a chocolate candy bar is at least A$2, bottle of water at least A$1.90. I know that doesn’t sound bad, but when you add it all up, it’s nearly impossible not to spend at least A$25 a day, and that SUCKS. I guess it’s all counterbalanced by the …
After the welcome sessions yesterday, I grabbed lunch with two girls who happened to be sitting near me in the auditorium. Verena from Germany and Mette from Denmark are both here to do postgraduate work for the semester. They have that European angular, fresh-faced beauty. We mainly talked about the differences between Danish/German/American/Australian cultures. Verena …
