Made it safely here! After the longest 24 hours of my life.
Just got into my room about an hour ago, haven't done any exploring yet.
They drive on the wrong side of the road here, and wow it's just like America they have McDonald's and Target, looks like Florida, cool (that was dedicated to Kevin Morgan for pre-meditating my boring blog).
So far the campus looks incredibly nice. My room is nice, has it's own bathroom and balcony. I haven't met my roommate yet but she's from Northeastern.
I need to lay down and let my body soak all of this in, but I hope to update with something more exciting soon.
This is not real.

Pre-departure
Hello! This is my first, pre-depature blog post for all of you here in the good ol' USA eager to hear about my adventures. I have a lot of time on my hands here doing nothing in New Jersey so I apologize in advance if this blog ends up actually containing only one or two posts.
I am leaving this Friday, January 6th from Boston Logan Airport at 5:00 pm - arrive at LAX at 8:30 pm - depart 11:50 pm and arrive at 7:50 at Brisbane, Australia on January 8th. In other words, I will be skipping two days in a 20 hour period. Time travel.
I will be living and "studying" at Bond University on The Gold Coast. The Gold Coast is part of Queensland, on the east coast - about two hours north of Sydney, and one hour south of Brisbane.
I'll be taking several Psychology and Behaviour Management courses - at least that's what I have planned at this point.
As of today, Sunday January 1, 2012 (wow) - I have nothing packed. I'm kinda hoping my suitcases will pack themselves because I don't have any idea how I'm going to not bring every article of clothing I own. I'll take any advice anyone can offer for how to pack two suitcases for 4 months of living in another country.
That's all I have to say for now. I've selected a privileged few who I think might be interested in hearing what I'm up to, and I'm purposely not posting this for the public on facebook. I don't think the world needs to know what I'm doing. But feel free to share this with any friends/family interested!
I will definitely miss everyone from home - but this blog should serve as a good way to keep in contact since the time difference will make things difficult.
I can also be contacted via skype - username eab320 and email (which is my first and last name, no symbols or numbers, @gmail)
