Aussie internet does suck! There's a limit on however much you download and if you go over, then you are capped until next billing month. i already pay $40/month for internet here. ridiculous!

<3 my new roommie. my last roommie stayed for about 2 days and then left, because she hated melbourne and transferred to another college in australia. this new roommie is also an aussie, but grew up in Russia, so she has a russian accent, but russian accent/aussie accent...they're all just another lingo to me. my new roommie reminds me so much of lena from sisterhood of traveling pants. cute little girl who paints!

projects are definitely piling up. now that i'm beginning to understand what i have to do. for my urban planning&design class, my group has had so many changes in group members. we had 4, but then 1 dropped out. yesterday, 1 joined in and today he dropped out. we are back to 3 people. me and two honkies. i hope things will go smoothly.

made a new friend, sakura. i love her name already!! she's in two of my classes and in one of my project group! today i found out that she knows this guy that i was helping flyering last weekend. it was very random, but i must say...its a small world!

last small group, we listened to a sermon by T.D. Jakes. i was inspired by his message. FINISH IT! God is the finisher of our lives, if God began your life, he will finish it and it will be completed. so in the same way, we should finish what we started. refer to Luke 4:28 :) ways of finishing what you started: 1) finish in phases and celebrate at the completion of each phase. surround yourself with people who would support your completion. 2) finish your course only. each person has a different course and you can't try to finish other people's courses. but sometimes the closer you get to the finish line, the harder the course gets....but FINISH IT. 3) see more than you can finish. sometimes you may have the abilities, but only do what God wants you to do. so FINISH IT!
