Life in Brisbane

As a poor college student, the thought of leaving my job for two months was daunting. Even scarier was the possibility of not having a job for two months and not having a place to live when I arrived in Brisbane. I was so stressed about these thing, overly so in retrospect, that I considered turning down the internship and finding something else that would satisfy my Capstone requirement. With encouragement from my parents and friends, on both sides of the world, I managed to pack my bags.

As soon as I arrived in Brisbane I knew I had made the right decision. From the trees to the warm sunshine, I was reminded of what a good time I had had here for Spring Break. Busses could easily bring me to any area of the city and I had found a place to live that would not only be fun, but also relatively easy on the wallet. Finding a job is still a bit up in the air but considering I've only been in the area for a week and a half, I'd like think that things are beginning to come together better than expected.

This is an aerial view of Brisbane. The Central Business District is easily seen just across the river. (I live a few blocks to the right of the stadium.)
