I'm here!!

Just some thoughts on my first day in Australia. The people are very friendly. Quite immature though, of coarse that could be because I’m with the first years right now. It’s been fun to see the differences. Even just the small language variances that impede understanding. I constantly feel as though I’m asking them to repeat what they’ve just said. It’s weird to live so directly with boys. The general tome is very laid back. Everyone is pretty chill. It makes me realize how uptight Americans really are about the little stupid stuff. I’m super sun burnt. It’s actually scary how fast I got this burnt. Anyway, it’s going to be fun- that is if I stay sober enough to remember my time here! They’re wild about partying. I’m not sure if that’s because they’re just getting to the freedom of college life or if it’s actually the way of life for everyone here. If never quite seen anything like it; the freshman orientation had all this stuff about sex and even had people showing a fake fuck session up on stage. It’s not like it’s loose morals either- it’s just culturally accepted to do that. I wonder because you know there are some conservatives but they don’t fight like in America. Like if our Freshman orientation had been like that the university would have received tons of parent and student complaints. It’s just chill here- no one says anything. No one disagrees with the norm. No one talks about faith or religion. I haven’t meet anybody that seems even remotely Christian or religious but then again I guess it is just the first day.
