Cheers all!
Aussie phrase of the day: Septic Tank - Yank (it's a bit of the very popular rhyming slang of this place)
Howdy all, my internet problems my be coming to an end (finally!) Dial-up is expensive and Andrea can access the boys' wireless from her bedroom (her room is closer to their window), so I, after they deliberate, will likely be paying the people directly downstairs a small amount per month in return for access to their secure network (which I can see quite well.) Until then (the next day or two), I have temporary dial-up (free but the cost of a phone line). That means I can access my blog and e-mail and whatnot, but cannot use Skype or AIM.
On the school front, I have decided to drop the crime class in favor of the "family and households" class. I sat in on it today, and it seems sooo much more interesting. So there we have it, my final schedule. I am taking the two required psych classes, plus a sociology and a gender class, both of which count towards my minor. I have classes 4 days a week. Mondays don't start until 2pm (and goes to 4pm), Tues. and Wed. start at 10am (Tues. goes to 2pm, Wed. to 4pm), and Thurs. I have one class from 4pm to 6pm. I have programmed an intense work-out schedule around my classes, including 2 days of weight training, one days of "Abs, butts, thighs," one day of pilates, and one day of Yoga (if I can stomach it...that 's on Fridays.)
In other, Maddy's-junk-related, news I finished both my taxes and FAFSA online, and I got accepted back onto the Orientation Team for Fall 2006. Fall training begins on Aug. 23, so I'll need to be back in PA by the 20th or so. Luke and co. are dealing with the housing situation, and I've found a fourth flat-mate for it. Her name is Corissa, she's a sophomore accounting major, and she's actually here in Australia (it took Arcadia sending us across the world for us to meet).
In general, things are still going quite well. It's humid as hell in this country, but I'm managing (I've purchased a few more tank tops for the weather and the work-outs). I miss ya'll back home, but I'm loving my time here. Keep the notes coming!

Hazza for internet!
The funny part is that right as you get yours, I've lost mine!
Oh well, I'll still find a way to keep up with your blog... you know I will.

There should be no reason for you not to be able to use AIM and Skype on dial-up...
