Keepin it real for Box Hill

It's a strange feeling, having been in America for just under 2 weeks but feeling like I've been here for AGES. Not to say that means I'm not enjoying myself here, but being constantly around the same place and people almost makes time stand still. I have absolutely no sense of what day it is anymore either....it just goes by what night time activity is occuring.

If I don't cross paths with someone for a day it feels like we haven't seen each other in forever. It's a bizarre, but I really have made some rad friends since I've been here....but it doesn't make me miss home and you guys any less. I had my first real wave of homesickness 2 days ago, and boy, it hit hard. What sucked even more was that I couldn't even disappear somewhere and go have a cry about it cos there's just people EVERYWHERE.

There's not a whole heap to report, because it would take a long time to explain what happens every day, and camp is not what you expect it to be. Well, it's not what I expected it to be anyway. Um, the food here has gotten pretty old pretty quickly....I'm completely dying from the lack of Asian food, but I guess I'll have to hold on for another 10 weeks; aiyo!!! On the work side of things, I'm now mostly doing video work rather than photography...long story short, I have a crappy supervisor whose criticism is rarely constructive and who refuses to offer any real advice or training. When she 'moved' me to video, I completely gunned filming and editing a short piece to 'prove' myself...basically I kicked butt. W00t!!!

Ok, well, for my finishing I request that you send me mail. As in, SNAIL MAIL! I know, it's lame, but it's really exciting when it comes, and makes me feel like the cool kid on the block (oh, come on, let me dream, let me dream!) So here is my address until August 26. Do it!
