NOTE: This is my last blog on this post, as I will be transferring over to the Australia blog once I land. Link is at the bottom.
Flying is fun when you go from point A to point B in as little time as possible. But when those two points are 8000 miles away it can be a pain. All in the all 27 hours total traveling and 18 give or take in the air. So pretty successful venture!
Staying at the Surf n Sun Backpackers hostel in Surfer's Paradise. Just seconds away from the beach which is nice. However, I have noticed SP is a bit of a ways from Bond University. So I am reconsidering living there, at least for the first semester.
The University itself is extremely nice. A bit smaller then WSU, but as a private university I wasn't expecting it to be enormously huge. State of the art everything as well as a quad (one thing we never had at WSU). Still working on housing at the moment, so until then I'm homeless in a hostel! Anyways, check out the vids as well as my Facebook profile to see all the pics and vids (I'll also post the video blogs up here too). Classes start Monday!
Here is the link to my other blog now that I am IN Australia:

Grrr. President Obama
In what I thought would be secured and ready to go by July, I have come to find out that President Obama has made things a bit more difficult.
Because of the new education reform act, the US Dept. of Education must travel to the foreign universities and educate the financial aid department on the proper steps and systems to secure financial aid for American students. And because of this, it has delayed mine.
No worries, I'm still set to start semester II down there come September. My goal is to fly out Aug 18th, no particular reason why except it is the middle of the week (low airfare). That way I have plenty of time to secure lodging and get settled in before classes start (unlike last time).
Almost out of Pullman. I put in my two weeks at the bar yesterday and my final day at AT&T is June 30th. So just in time to squeeze in a few iPhone 4 sales and head home. I'll be looking for a part time job, nothing too hectic or hard and DEF not dealing with customer. Preferably night guard or something of that nature. So if you hear of anything, holla!
