Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head

As I sit here staring out the window, I cannot help thinking that I was under the impression it did not rain in Australia. Obviously, that is not a logical conclusion at all, but for some reason I just cannot understand why there are raindrops streaming down the window right now. It hardly seems fair, actually-I am in one of the most beautiful places in the world, and instead of lying on a beach working on my much-deserved tan or walking around looking in shop windows, I am sitting on my bed, propped against some pillows, writing this blog entry and polishing off a package of tim-tams. Not that I'm complaining, of course-it is really nice to have a lazy day with nothing to do...especially because my body feels like I ran 5 consecutive marathons after that ropes course yesterday. It's a struggle to just bring the little bits of double-chocolate crispy crunchy deliciousness to my mouth. That brings me to my next point. Sitting inside like a lump all day has given me quite a bit of time to just think, and I have come to several conclusions.
1. Tim-tams are quite possibly the closest thing to heaven that can be accounted for in tangible, worldly terms. I have consumed two packages, on my own, in the two weeks we have been here. If this trend keeps up, I will be needing a gym membership for Christmas. And also another suitcase just for my newfound favorite snack.
2. Australia is even pretty in the rain. How is this possible? I hate rain! There is just something about this place that is so magical. Even on the most boring day, just being here is enough to put a smile on my face.
3. I have made a complete list of everywhere I want to travel to while I am here. More on that later.
4. It is really interesting to live in a dorm here - I understand why people say to fully immerse yourself in a culture, you must live amongst the culture. I am not living in Australia right now. I am living in a little bubble of America that just happens to have an Ausralian address. Bond is composed of some crazy percentage of study-abroad students (like 50%?), and my dorm building is almost completely American. That being said, I want to do something that will help me experience Australia for all that it truly is. I don't know what exactly that is yet, but my next goal is to figure it out.

This is pretty much what I felt like today.
