 Hello!  I'm still alive!

And in my defense, my phone card isn't working... which is why I haven't called you all a million times before now.  Because it's awesome here. 

I miss you all so much though!

Right now I'm at the airport, and I'm on a 15 minute limit, so I can't write too much.

All of the girls in my group are awesome.  And there's a hot Aussie named Andrew from CVA who leads our group.  And no, sorry, Katie, no making out with him.  Authorityposition and all that.

But as for the girls... there's Jana our ISV leader, and she's super awesome and probably the one i get along with best.  Then there's Trish... talks a bit like Fleming and snores.  Loudly.  And I sleep in a room with her.  Yeah, listening to Fallout Boy and Counting Crows on my iPod has saved me.  Then there's Katie and Danielle, cool girls that knew each other before they came... hilarious too.  they also share my room.  Then there's Michelle, the only Art major and our cooking guru.  Eileen is also cool, although i haven't talked to her as much.  Then Barett, a southern belle type with short hair.  A little annoying sometimes, but fun to be around.

Already I've gotten to hold a baby kangaroo and an olive python, and climb Mount Larcom (the Sleeping Giant for those of you who want to look it up).  Really awesome stuff, but I'm sooo sore, and my feet ache.  All of today wewere digging up these monstrous weeds called Lantana, an invasive species that's threatening native ones.  But that's boring biology stuff that I'm sure none of you care about.

Oh, and I found out that we're flying out of Sydney to go to LA.  And the funny thing is that they changed airlines. Instead of Qantas, we're flying out on Oceanic, flight number 481, leaving at 5:16 out of gate 23.  And I'm in seat 43A.  Weird, huh?  I'm sure it'll be a safe flight, though. 

Ok, have to run now!  I'll be back soon to update again... well as soon as i can.  And hopefully I'll figure out my calling card.  I may ask one of you to call a number and get instrustions for me later, but I don't have the number with me right now.

Later, mates!
