This one time at Latvian camp... and other non-Australian things.

You knew it wouldn't last long before I burst out into something Latvian on here. It's that time of year when camp fever really starts to set in. We get the applications in the mail, fill them out, send them in, and then have to waiitttt. And frankly it's making me stir crazily excited and I can't hold it inside.

Krista can't come which is terribly sad. We were gonna be working with the oldest kids together! They kinda scare me without her! Haha jk. But really, it's for an great cause - so that she can graduate early - so I can only be proud of her. I talked to her for over an hour the other day and it really was great, she's an amazing chick and I think it helps both our spirits the way we just click and can understand each others every concern, even if we haven't talked in a few months.

As for me, I've been thinking about this Teach for America thing more and more for after I graduate. Has anyone ever heard of it enough to form a solid opinion? Or know anyone who's done it? I would love to stay in the north east, more inner city than rural, maybe Philly or NJ or something. I know, I know, the parents are a little freaked out about it being dangerous, but if it was that bad they wouldn't have this program. I think it's a great idea. I would love to do the Peace Corps, but I don't think I'm quite that hardcore. Maybe if Andrej came with me tho.. haha. But so, any suggestions on this would be helpful.

Melbourne is still pretty low key. Well, the city's not, I'm sure, but we still are. I can't wait to go out dancing! We did it so much in Perth and it really was great bc you all know what a little moverandshaker I can be, but then in Hobart it was always cold and pretty much only smaller pubs, so we didn't do that much at all. Now here we are in the second biggest city in Australia and no one wants to go out?? Craapppp. I'm sure we'll get into a groove soon, money's just been tight for a bunch of people, so I understand. It doesn't help that the freggin Metcard was a hundred bucks, but we do put it to good use.

Speaking of money, I locked myself out of my room on accident this morning, trying to ask Morgan if she had any milk I could steal (I know, I sound a mess, but really I'm fine :P ). And I went down to the front desk to ask for a spare, and she said I have $375 that I need to pay and I was like "Uhh... why?" And she looked at me like I had two heads and was like "Well, phone use is included in the balance." ... "Well, I've been using my phone card, and it's 25 cents to call out, so I should only have a charge of about two or three dollars." Like she really wasn't going to give me a lock-out key until I paid this or something.. "Ohhh are you part of a group?" Yesssss, I ammmm. Haha. Only then would she give me a key.

Ok, time to go, I just wanted to chat. Catch you all laterrr
