The speaker who hops to the platform, skips the introduction and jumps to the conclusion is roundly applauded.

But apparently I should introduce myself anyway.

To summarise. I am from Country Victoria – “Two cows to every bogan”  – and I have a large-ish family, about 4 younger siblings by my last head count… I have a boyfriend of… 3 years? I’ll give him a pseudonym later.

My parents are really overprotective, so it was pretty lucky my idea of fun is sitting about at home reading/watching anime/playing games/generally being an awful, shameless nerd.

Only in 2009 was I first allowed off into the city with my boyfriend (come to think of it I only went 3 or 4 times); I have verrry little experience with the public transport system; I don’t actually know anything about the area I’m living in at the moment, like, thank god for Google Maps so I can find ATMs etc; no one from my high school got into UniMelb as far as I know; I am jobless and poor.

So, yes. I’m in a similar situation to many Uni students.

I live with my grandparents now, whom I must say I know very little about. It’s been good so far though. The rent is cheap, there are edible meals, and for some gawdfersaken reason she has broadband with unlimited download. It’s just a shame it takes so long to get into the city from here (not compared to home of course…).

*EDIT* Holy Heck Hats, I forgot to mention I’m a Science student.

I’ll keep you updated on my various and numerous blunders and dabblings, hopefully I’ll have created some useful hints and guides by the end of the year. Weeeeek-O starts tomorrow, I’m pumped!

Here are some cows. They are especially for you.
