Today was pretty slow compared to the others so far. I moved into my new home in Whitley College (aka the Donut). The students living here are all really nice and have helped me figure out the ways of the college. Whitley sits between two parks and is about a block from the Melbourne zoo so I'm looking forward to exploring the area if it ever stops raining. Some of the students took me to the local shops and I was able to get a hairdryer along with some other stuff I've been wanting. In the evening I went out with my new friends for a drink before calling it a night. I will put up some pics of my new residence when it gets nicer because the wet thing does not do it justice.
PS - the whole dropbear thing was a big joke - I'm an idiot! One of the residents here started telling me about them, but his story was really different from the group leader's version so I realized that I am the most gullible creature on the planet and I need not go on a crusade for the invented critter. The opossums are real though and I saw two more last night (one was in a pizza box) but alas no camera again!

Hi Amanda,
It sounds like you are having a lot of fun and settling into your new university. I really enjoy reading your daily blogs. Have fun!

Too bad on the drop bear. That would have been totally cool to see someone get "jumped."
