The Palms

So after surviving my last night in Sydney (pretty fun actually, I'm discovering that I'm apparently a pretty good pool player?) I woke up this morning and packed up all my crap, and had the joy of remembering how freakin' annoying it is to have it all. >.< I said bye to Mallory which was super-weird since we've been joined at the hip for a little over a week, and trekked over to my hostel. If I was just a backpacker, it would actually be really cool since I could just hang out with everybody and wouldn't have to worry about having a ton of stuff. There are definitely a lot of hippies here though. Some of them have been just chilling in Sydney for over four months. They just bum around and hang out. Wouldn't that be nice? I truthfully think I'm just going to sleep in my clothes and take the shuttle to the airport in the morning, since I really don't feel like unpackingand repacking and finding everything all over again.

I went out for a walk through King's Cross today, which was actually pretty nice. It's amazing how much daylight can take away the sketchiness of a place. Definitely don't think I'll be taking a walk tonight though....argargarg I want to be in my dorm and settled and know what classes I'm taking and where things are and to have a cell phone and to be on the mat blah. Not having mat time is driving me nuts. I need to get my martial arts jitters out! I want to do dive rolls and throws and bag work and playtime!

Hopefully when I update tomorrow I'll have some semblance of order in my life. Here's to shaking things up in Melbourne (or Mel-bin as the Aussies put it)
