A brief second update from the Land Down Under - Still unsettled but slowly getting there

Hey! It's me again!

I've enrolled into my course today as a third year student. Things went pretty smooth considering my very complicated looking course structure as compared to the many there who were first years. They had a more 'fixed' structure I suppose.

So now instead of a lousy cyber cafe, I am now at my very safe and comfortable-looking Monash library 9:15pm local time at night!

That aside, I am still not completely 100% settled in Melb yet but I am definitely getting there.

Headed down to the city for the second time today in search of my accomodation. Things started of VERY bleakly at first. Richmond and I roamed the entire city for about 5-6 hours by foot searching for real estate agencies and not getting what we want were the ultimate let downs of that time.

But we finally settled at the last minute for one place where we thought was 'livable' for a year considering all the aspects we were looking at like distance, pricing and etc.

That office was closing and we were busy calling home and there were few other applicants all pending their applications at the same time and all wah quite dramatic but I think we should get it considering we paid the deposit and the others didn't. Will be going down to the city again tomorrow to reconfirm. SHOULD BE OK LAH.

Very exhausted now. But the people here tell me that's what living in Melb and generally in countries other than the ones I am familiar to is all about. Walk, walk and more walk.

I'll get used to it soon enough I think.

The weather here is pretty good. Ppl tell me summer in Melb is generally VERY HOT but at this time of the year it's pretty cool.

My mind is working at a frantic rush thinking of how to squeeze as many things here as I possibly can.

But I think I would update more next time when I can sit in peace thinking of what to write without worrying about the time as it is getting really late and I want to return to my TEMP ACCOMODATION asap!

Thank you folks!

Hope you enjoyed this letter-like post!

Like I'm in some far-away place serving my country for war liddat HAH
