The first few days

Alright so it has begun, and so far it has been a lot of work but really rewarding too, im lovin it!.

So the hassles so far have been pretty crazy and my trip went like this:
I left Sydney Australia at a pretty average pace no mad rush and no delays and got to LAX early at 9:30 local time in the morning of the 6th, unfortunately thats where my luck just about ran out. From LAX you have to pass screening, check out and re check your backs, go through customs again and then get across the airport to the connecting flight, i had 1hr and 47minutes to do this, the process took 2hrs and i was only just at customs. Needless to say i didnt make it to my next flight in time. so i got rescheduled to a 425 flight on a different airline which meant a total of 7hrs in LA where i cudnt go outside in case an earlier flight became available.

My 425 flight however was then delayed an hour and i just managed to make it to Salt Lake City airport with enough time for a three minute run in 4 degree weather wearing nothing but i jeans and t-shirt combo. lol incredible, so i flagged down the bus and got here to Logan Utah and USU by 1030pm local time. from there i found out that i couldnt actually check in to my room until morning and i had to stay in the lovely university inn until then.

Oh did i mention that in this time i had my room swapped once already? thankyou Daiki for the update. so next morning i go to check in and a guy is in my room ready to pounce to ask me if i would like to move from Greaves Hall (international house of tiny bunks) to Merrill Hall (big ass apartments with long beds and free gym!!) easy no brainer. finally some luck coming my way.

I actually managed to also squeeze some of that luck into a free chinese dinner courtesy of my roommate nicholas and the chinese christian club ... score!! so thats it i guess, had a cool trip to Walmart with some awesome new friends and i'm going to a woman's basketball game tomorrow, ill keep you up to date thanks for tuning in and ill post more photos soon
