Greetings,

I was on summer break for the past few months and it was glorious: my family came to visit for the holidays, I traveled across the country to Perth and explored the southwest (perhaps Australia's best kept secret), celebrated Australia's biggest party weekend (Big Day Out music festival and Australia Day) in the country with my friend Rob, visited my friends Dylan and paddy in Batemans Bay, and then went home with my friend Luke to his house in the Blue Mountains. Needless to say, it was a busy summer.

Since I got back, I've been working for Student Marketing Australia promoting subscriptions to the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper ($30 for the academic year!) on campus and adjusting to the new semester that started this week.

I'll provide much more detail about my adventures, but I wanted to get a quick email out to let you know that YES, I'm still going to keep up with this blog this semester! I officially got wireless internet hooked up in my apartment this morning (FINALLY) so no more excuses: I'll start posting soon.
