so finally yesterday all the first years arrived (freshers... they don't use the freshman-sophmore-junior-senior system and they get confused when i do haha) so now i'm getting to know my neighbors and we're actually having things explained to us... which is nice since i've just been figuring things out on my own untill this morning.
we sat through many-a boring speach about college life this morning, things that i mostly already know but its cool. almost everyone i've met so far has been at least 2 if not 3 or 4 years younger than me, one kid on the floor won't be 18 (and so can't drink) until september. its interesting. the mild "hazing/initiation" they have for us is these rags with our names on them we have to wear on out heads all week or get "punished." i don't really mind that so long as none of whatever else they have the freshers do gets out of hand. i could pull the "well i'm actually a 3rd year so ha" on them but i don't want to if i don't have to you know?
and of course it is interesting talking to all the aussies. brandon says i'm starting to pick up an accent (sweeeeeeet) and i notice i tend to slip into it a little if i haven't talked to any americans for a while. i can mostly understand people, unless they're mumbling, which in addition to strong accents makes it quite difficult. they say mine's a pretty thick accent, or they did untill i put on a southern drawl and then they were like.... wow haha ok your not so bad.
amy across the hall seems pretty chill, and her friend julie from upstairs. britt is about a foot taller than me and also pretty cool so hopefully i've got people to hang out with and watch movies and whatever. max and matt are the younguns, only 17 but pretty entertaining. justin next door has the share network in his room and helped set me up on it so i can share all my music and movies and steal other people's stuff too :) so peter hopefully i won't need you to send me BSG because i'm pretty sure i can find it here - joy!
well we've got a barbeque going on i think i'll check out here, more later on the interesting people i'm meeting :)

Hello! I just read everything! In one sitting too! (aren't you proud?)
It sounds nice and warm. (jealous!)
It is cold here.
I'm trying to convince coach that training trip next year should be in Australia. We probably won't go. I don't think coach wants to be on a plane with us for that long.
your accent is getting exponentially sexier, bucket~
