half-way around the world and back
wednesday, at 1:45 pm i left sydney, australia, and arrived in los angeles, california at 9:20 am on wednesday...figure that one out.
so, the past two days have felt like an eternity. including finding a house to move into with several girls i know from santa beezee.
australia was fantastic. my mom went on a business trip, and i tagged along as the uber-tourist. every day i would do my own thing. and, as pathetic as it may sound, i felt like anything i saw or did would be perfect because i had my headphones. i walked around the city, cruised around on a ferry, and looked at some koalas and kangaroos (in captivity, because they don't hop around the streets like some may try to argue.) if i was able to post pictures i would show an awesome shot of a kangaroo showing off his junk.
aussies use the words "beautiful" and "nice" all the time, mostly to describe things like fish and chips, wine, and everything in general. i wish i could use some of their charmingly foreign terms without seeming like a pretentious poser (is that redundant?) because i know people who do that sort of thing and i make fun of them in my head.
i was able to spend a lot of time with my mom, though most of it was in the 13 hour airplane rides. it was good to be around her; i was getting to the point of being homesick, which doesn't happen a lot with me. i also spent a lot of time with my aunt and uncle and cousin (it's a family business). i know that's a really jolted account of my vacation. but i don't feel like giving too many details. sorry.
