Welcome to Sydney!

Today is my first full day in Sydney. I arrived yesterday morning after 22 hours of flying. It was actually a great flight. I had season 2 of Dexter which definitely kept me entertained and I managed to sleep a lot. Before I knew it we were landing in Sydney! I flew with Justin who is also from Miami and living in Uni Lodge so it was nice arriving with someone. At the airport, Alice and Kirsty met me and drove Justin and I (in a car filled to the brim with all our luggage!) to our new home for the next 5 months. Alice and Kirsty were so nice, got me all set up in my new room and even made my bed for me! I cannot thank them enough. 

So far, everything I have experienced about Sydney I love, and it hasn't stopped raining since I got here, but it doesn't even matter. It feels a lot like England, and everyone is so nice. I am living right across from another girl, Lauren, who also goes to Miami, which couldn't be better! Very convenient. There are 5 of us in total from Miami and everyone is so nice and we get along great! 

I was able to set up my room and get comfortable yesterday, and today will get things I forgot and an Aussie mobile too. Orientation for the University of Sydney starts tomorrow, so I get to see the campus which I have heard nothing but great things about. I am very excited and just so happy to be here!
