Getting Underway

It's been one heck of a week here in Townsville. I've just sorted out my schedule for school and it is looking pretty good. I think I'll have lots of time for adventuring! Honestly, I think it's about time ventured outside of Townsville and took advantage of that adventuring time. There are a number of trips coming up that I have the opportunity to go on. There is one for getting a diving certification, another to Whitsunday, and Magnetic Island. They all are somewhat expensive (really there is little here that is inexpensive), but I got a job two weeks ago as a volleyball umpire (ref) at a place named Citibeach volleyball. I'm hoping that will help me not break the bank too badly.

Things are getting off to a slow start, though. I've been somewhat inactive in planning trips past going to the beach. Classes are on the start of their second week so nothing difficult yet, and Citibeach hasn't given me many hours yet. I am however enjoying the nightlife here perhaps a little more than I should be.

There is a certain street downtown named Flinders Street where there are a lot of bars, restaurants and an outdoor mall. I've been hitting that road a lot so I've been eating and trying my fair share of food and drink. I figure its good practice for when I return to the states.

Not much else to say. I'm still meeting plenty of people, making friends, loving the whether. Pictures may be a tad scarce. My camera and computer aren't getting along, but as soon as I get some good pictures and amend the technology war, you'll see more of Australia.
