I haven't written in this thing in ages, but am of the opinion that switching continents is cause for a livejournal entry.
I'm in Canberra, Australia, which is the political capital and is located somewhere between Sydney and Melbourne. It's winter here, and I've already managed to get myself sick, probably due to the fact that they do not have central heating in most places in Oz and it gets quite cold at night.
There are plenty of differences between here and the States, and I notice more of them every day. That said, I'm making some Aussie friends, am now friends with some Americans from my exchange program (besides Mike, although it isn't as if we've stopped being friends or anything), and have met a fair amount of exchange students from other countries as well. I met two Japanese kids last night at dinner, a Russian, and my neighbor is a Bangladeshi who lived in Zimbabwe for most of his life but now lives in South Australia. I would say that this is quite the international campus.
Anyway, I feel like I had a lot of things to say when I set out to write this entry, but they've all left me now.
