Imagine that? I've been in Australia for almost a month now...
Thoughts so far:

• I hate winter. I'm excited about the prospect of spring soon, now that we're finally getting up from the 40's and 50's to a much happier 61 degrees F today. Yay. Weird to think about Christmas summer vacation though... Christmas dinner = shrimp on the barbie?!! Maybe.

YES!!! Life has suddenly become so much better!! I've got some shopping to do but later on I wanna post up my kangaroo picture because I have the net at home now.
I hope everyone is well back home (or wherever you are!!) and today I start my first days of class here in Melbourne. It's crazy to think about the fact that I've already been here a week ( Read more... )

The sound of a busy bee working on her feminist paper. Damn you men. *shakes fist* You are all the ills of the world.... Or something. I dunno. I'll leave you with this:

If men can run the world, why can't they stop wearing neckties? How intelligent is it to start the day by tying a noose around your neck?

Naga Mii just boarded a flight to Bootycon and I must admit that I'm jealous. But I know that I made the right decision not to go.
I've got a Japanese presentation tomorrow, a Japanese essay to turn in as well, a report to write by Monday on the gender stratification in anime and manga, Japanese final on Tuesday, and Macroeconomics final on ( Read more... )
