Studying hard in Australia is tough

Concentration is a very difficult thing. Especially concentration on school work.
There’s this problem that I’ve developed since I’ve been here.
It’s basically that I keep forgetting I’m supposed to be going to classes.

Here’s the deal: I’m here for five months to “study” at Wollongong

G’day mates!

G’day mates! Or as they say here in Australia: Hi everyone!
Well, here I am in the Land Down Under. I was enjoying the surf and the sun and

Once in a great while, a film comes along that has the ability to make you feel like you’re a complete jerk if you [...]

Trip to Canada leads to surreal experience (eh?)

Ever have one of those experiences that you’re not even sure you’re even experiencing? You know that you’re there, but you’re not sure if it’s real. Usually these types of experiences stay with you.

a major radio hit in years. They don’t ever have videos on MTV. They represent
