So this the next thing I wrote backtracking through what I'd done including getting into Brisbane.
Fuck me. Okay, let's backtrack. Flight from LA to Sydney was awesome - slept some, watched movies, got fed. Ankles swelled like a bitch through. Freaked out a little when I couldn't talk to my parents in Sydney or Cairns. Still miss them a lot. Fucking jet lag man. Okay so. Gilligan's - flash backpackers. Pretty good actually. Cairns was great. Dinner at the Pier was good - first beer in Aussie: Victoria Bitter (VB). Rainforest day was also awesome. Held a baby wallaby and a koala!! Way too cute. I'm proud of myself for finding a group to hang with. Dinner was good too - lots of chips. Finally talked to parents - thank goodness. Really nice to hear their voices. Reef day was also good. Boat ride was awesome. Sat on these net things on the way back - I was basically going to sleep they were so comfy. Went scuba diving. It was good, it just took me a while to get used to. But was cool. Also went snorkeling. Also cool. Saw neon-colored fish. Wtf nature?! It was awesome. One of the crew - Joe - was awesome. He like just came up to me and did a magic trick that blew my mind. Then he did more magic and used me as his assistant. And he gave me a hug when we left. After reef, dinner at Union Jack which was fine. Went back pretty early and went to sleep. Then up super early for Brisbane! Finally got an adapter for my computer - now I can charge it. Got to Minto, no problems. Not in main house. But my house has a pool. But I feel like more people hang out in the main house so dk. Met Jake and Joe, 2 super nice Australians. Jake asked if we had guns. Lol, apparently it's a stereotype. Had fish and chips for lunch and pad thai for dinner, all good. Went exploring. Found a Coles eventually. Also passed lots of fun looking places but too rainy and tired to venture out tonight. Got: nutella, bread, lotion, and vodka. I'm set for like a week, lol. So many thoughts. Hanging out more with Taylor, Morgan, and Kristi. Getting better. Okay I think I'm all caught up. I'm going to do those stupid goals now.
- Personal: decide (get better idea of) where I want to fit in in ad world
- Professional: to gain and practice real-world work skills
- Academic: to learn about how ads differ from US and why and how much
- Cultural: compare own personal culture to local one; fit in with locals
- Social: skydive, bungee jump, travel; be adventurous and willing!
Okay I think that's it for now. Cheers!
