Settled in Kooloobong!

Hey! So I am now fully settled in my new housing at Kooloobong! It is on campus housing set up in apartments so I have my own room and share a common room and kitchen with 3 other people. I have one apartment mate from Afghanistan who is pretty nice and another from Pakistan who is ok . . . they are both a bit weird but im sure they will be fine to live with! I have another girl named Rita from China who doesn't speak much English as well as an Australian guy who is my Resident Advisor who lives next door (He is pretty weird/quiet/looks like a ghost). Although my apartment is pretty unsocial I think everyone is generally nice . . . my only problem is that the kitchen and bathroom are really dirty and despite spending a whole night trying to clean it, its still dirty . . . oh well! I have a friend from home who lives near by so I can cook at his place!! The people here seem to be pretty nice but I still haven't met many people, not many girls living near by but I have been hanging out with a really cool girl named Kelsey from CAL who lives off campus. We met at orientation for all the UC students and she really reminds me of Amy and Mom and Dad so it is really nice to hang out with her! We are going to go to Sydney this weekend and stay with Nate to watch the Australia vs. New Zealand Rugby game at a sports bar!! Im starting to like Wollongong more and more as time goes on. The town in cute and the beaches are really nice but it's still very cold and raining here right now! In addition I have bed bugs that keep giving me these really bad bites that ich a lot, but I put in a request to have my room bombed so hopefully that will happen soon! I still don't have my own internet in my room yet, so sorry communication has been so limited but I hope to get it up and running soon and can post more often! until then! cheers!
