What I love about Australia (plus random photos):

The blokes (duh!) and their accents

The fact that people go out every night!

(that's me on the right)
The fact that I get to call my professors by their first names.
Melbourne transportation (trams, trains, buses) and the fact that pretty much everything is walking distance.

What I miss:
My family (though I definitely don't miss living at home!) and friends
MEXICAN food (I can make guacamole, thank God!)
My apartment in DC is looking really really nice right now.
A dishwasher
Gold Fish (yes, I already had my mom send me some)
