M called today from Australia. It seems weird to think that I'm talking on the phone to her like I always do, but she's twenty hours away by plane, on a different continent, with the largest ocean on earth separating us.
Besides our phone conversation we also skyped for a little bit until either her laptop battery died or we lost the connection.
It sounds like she is off to a good start in Sydney. She was able to get from the airport to the place where she'll be living. I probably couldn't manage to do that, but M isn't afraid to ask questions if she doesn't know where to go or what to do.
Once she checked in with the CAPA people, she and another student went across the street from their housing and got breakfast at a cafe that has internet (that's where she was when we skyped).
I hope that the rest of the day went well for M. Once all of the students arrived they were going to go on a tour of Sydney. I'm sure other orientation activities were planned also. This evening probably was set aside for everyone to move into their apartments and unpack.
I don't know when I'll hear from M again, but with facebook, Twitter, and the blog she's planing to start, hopefully I'll know a little bit about her life in Australia. : )
