I have decided to make the move to the real world of domain names, but I am others are having a bit of trouble coming up with a name for the domain. I want something that I will keep for a bit, not just specifically about Australia, and maybe something to do wtih aviation. if you have any suggestions let me know.

I definitely needed a good laugh last night right before I went to bed, so I stayed up until about 430am reading in my new book. I am so surprised, no book has ever kept me up til weird hours of the morning. What had me needing a laugh is nothing short of a mess. I recieved a letter the other day, just found it on my bed. Here is what is says: "Dear SIUE student, The federal government requires

Started reading this book the other day in Psychology class. It's Bill Bryson's " In a Sunburned Country." It's about his travels in Australia. It had me laughing so hard that I interrupted my professors' lecture because I laughed out loud. I left the room in tears, I had laughed so hard. I rarely read books just for the heck of it, but this one I can't put down.

I haven't talked to my parents about school in over a week. I talk more to my aunt than my parents, but it doesn't bother me. It all started about two weeks ago. So lets start from the beginning. I've been working towards this goal of studying abroad for over 2 years now. Saving money, left and right. Not going out to see the latest movies, or grabbing dinner out, or buying any new clothes. I

Captain the boat is taking on water. Abandon ship. More like dont drink the water, and NO brushing your teeth. So when my dentist says, you havent been brushing lately. I can tell him, its because my Uni told me not too. I thought people were going to cry today when Starbucks posted this sign... "We are closed until the boil order is lifted" I got this email today... yeah just an email telling

Holy Crap! They are playing Christmas music overhead in the Morris University Center (MUC). It's nice to a point but this has been going on for hours, and days, and weeks. My god will it ever stop? I was flipping through the channels today and noticed that big red scrolling banner at the bottom of the screen. That lovely FOX NEWS channel, gotta love it. But something at the bottom really caught

Today is December 1st. Red Ribbon Day. It is the national day to recongize the HIV/AIDS problem. Show your support today and wear one. And when people ask why you are wearing it, you can tell them for the 20 million plus people that have died around the world. For the 3.1 million men, women, and children that have died this year alone. For all of the children left without mothers or fathers. For

I would like to thank the wonderful American education system for my utter wrong answer today in German class. We were discussing subjunctive phrases in German and she asked me for a subjunctive phrase in English so we could translate it. Me: "If I were him, I would have done that." Professor: "Wow, that is just totally.... (Me smiling thinking I finally got something correct) ...totally

I can mark off two things on my monster of a list of things that must be done this week. I finally finished off the final touch ups for the scholarship and volunteer essays for Australia. Those can be dropped off in the mail tomorrow morning bright and early. I finally decided to just screw it all, and go and visit the University up there in North Dakota. I have to like the place if I am

I got a necklace similar to this from my aunt from New Zealand the other day. Its called Koru. It represents the fern frond as it opens bringing new life and purity to the world. It also represents peace, tranquility and spirituality along with a strong sense of regrowth or new beginnings.The Koru is also often associated with nurturing so when interlocked with others is frequently used to

Went and saw Alexander last night. I'll keep my heavy petting to a min, I dont want to dribble drool all over my keyboard. Just go see it. Oliver Stone did a fantastic job on telling the story to the most believable plot line. It probably will be a bit to racy for most people, but not gay enough for others. I personally think it was awesome. Alexanders' "bf" is hot but not quite as hot as

Finally back at UNI... walked in on Glen half naked eatting dinner with his 'girlfriend'. What a delightful sight, i must say. Survived thanksgiving, now its time to survive 3 week blitz at UNI.

This week has been hell. I don't ever remember sleeping this much. And frankly I really dont mind sleeping this much. I probably sleep agood 15 to 16 hours a day, in order to avoid those questions.When are you going to find a girlfriend? Why do you want to study allthe way in Australia? I miss you, why dont you visit more often? etc....So in order to avoid the questions all together, I just

I am surviving the holidays, it's just taking more drinking that I had hoped. All is well, we hit a bit of snow, ok, a bit more than a bit, a fairly intense section of snow. Apparently we left St. Louis just ahead of the real storm. The forcasters predicted just a 'dusting' for the metro area, greater amounts of 1 to 3 inches north and west of the city. NO were they wrong, dad called earlier

Damn you QT and your massively large and oh so good cappicinos. I had that and I paid for it all night long. I drank it all by the time I got back to the apartment, stopped and got another one because I ran out while in the car. DAMN YOU QT. I was up until 3am or so talking to buddies, doing more paperless paperwork for Australearn, looking for decent Hostels in Melbourne, Darwin and other cities

Dont get me wrong, I am beyond excited about the studying in Australia, but let me tell you this, when you plan on spending 'x' amount, always double or triple it. For hidden costs seem to arrise more frequently than than my pimples did when I was age 15. I would plan on spending $150 for this, and it would end up being $275. $500 turned into costing me $890. But the real kicker is all those tiny

My Thanksgiving Break will begin early for the masses have spoken. All three of my Thursday classes cancelled their lectures, opting for an early mad dash to the heart attack turkey covered in gravey and grandmum's famous pumpkin pies. I on the other hand will be resting. I fell asleep today during my English exam. Thank you very much Dr. T. My strictly liquad diet for the week is getting

Over 80 jellow shots, two things of Crown, many wine coolers, lots of redbull, a couple of test tubes each and so much more from the neigbors in APT 10. It was all gone in less than 12 hours. WOW

This is Erin's and Amanda's neighbor, whom i thought was very cute, I somehow couldn't muster just ONE kiss out of him. YES thats all three girls bras on his head. They seem to like to take off clothing articles the drunker they get. I however remained clothed the entire night... GO ME!

Ah... sorry folks, I didnt get a chance to update Friday's story. So I will just combine Friday's story and Saturday's story. Being back here in 'da burg (aka Warrensburg, Missouri, CMSU) brings back lots of memories. Back in early 2003, it was my first year of university studies. Central Missouri State University was my decided resting place for the next 4 years. But we all know now that, that
