when asked by my site manager if i wanted coreyscala.com to become only a blog, i said okay…but i didn’t realise it would suck major balls. i was getting to the point where i wanted to get serious and actually make it something worthwhile, since my whole life is about to start and it kind of goes hand-in-hand, and now that i AM at that point, it’s been knocked down a few pegs from the get-go. all because somehow the site broke and nameless site manager was too lazy (or just didn’t know how?) to fix it.
i don’t know, maybe i can work with this.
anyway, the major crisis going on in my life right now is the dreaded job search. for people who are also on the brink of graduating, and don’t plan on going to grad school just yet, this is probably familiar. it’s kind of all becoming real, albeit very slowly, as i have just started out in my search. the realness so far has been manifest in the overwhelming discovery that…there are very limited job openings for my field in rochester, ny. it was my plan to stay here, at least for awhile, but that picture is becoming more and more out of focus the more i look into this. i’m still holding out hope.
as i’m kind of just starting out with this whole process, i’m going to keep looking around for now, and later on i’ll post some resources that might help out others in the same situation.
catch ya
PS. obviously i’m back in the states, have been since right after thanksgiving. have been adjusting in the sense that i am pretty much completely back to my old life. haven’t been able to post because, as i said, site was broken.

seriously, it is. i have been having pretty much nothing but fun since last post. plus a little dramadrama, but this is college, after all.
running out of money, which is to be expected. going to look for a job soon, wish me luck.
spring break plans are in the works, really can’t wait for that. i’m also joining footy, i don’t know if it’s really a season or what the deal is, but we will see. i’ve been doing alot of schoolwork this week and it’s so saddening since i wasn’t really worrying about it for awhile there. ooooh well.
i have this monster cough right now, which is the only bad thing happening right now besides the fact that it’s not the weekend. hopefully it goes away soon, before break preferably?
anyway, thought i would update for…no one probably, haha. i pretty much never want to leave this place.

Here I am sitting in my room in international house, wondering what I’d be doing if I lived at RMIT. So many more people live there, like a lot of the friends I’ve made. Living here, I’m the farthest away as possible from RMIT. I have this sinking feeling that there’s an out-of-sight-out-of-mind thing going on, too. Like who thinks about corey when she’s so far away? And then I’m lonely and don’t want to be the person who’s constantly calling people asking if they’re doing anything…and I can’t really have people here because it’s just…my room. Whatever. I guess it’s really too early to tell, I just don’t want that to happen.
I gotta meet some people on my floor. I hear them out there sometimes, and they seem fun, but every time I’m around I’m too tired to socialize. Like right now. Another 4am night last night doesn’t really do much for me at this point. But I wouldn’t have it any other way, cuz last night’s pub night was the best party night so far, I think. Aw, it was great.
Just waiting to see what happens. Maybe I’ll go to the game room.
UPDATE: going to the game room was a good idea!

g’day! yes, that’s right, i’m at last all moved in to my permanent australia university of melbourne home. it’s pretty cozy, just a little room of my own with all my shit in it. went shopping yesterday, and had an awesome apartment party with the arcadia gang! hahaha love those bitches.
i just need to figure a whole bunch of stuff out now about registering and all that good stuff. i’m a little overwhelmed right now with all the paperwork i have to look over, and what’s important and what’s not. and this internet cap thing is very sad to my heart.
well peace out for now.

hi to whoever reads this ever! haha.
i am finally in melbourne! been here since tuesday i believe…i can’t be too sure cuz time has been moving strangely since i got here last saturday. it seems like i just got here, and then in other ways it feels like i’ve been here forever.
for our arcadia orientation we were in caloundra, an hour or so north of brisbane, in a resort on the beach. there were about 30 of us, half going to uni melbourne and the other half going to uni new south wales in sydney (UNSW). it was so surreal, they kept us busy pretty much every second of the day with talks and activities and such. we went to the australia zoo and swam in the ocean! the water was cold, but even though it’s winter it was really warm weather there, so it was great to go swimming.
the group was/is absolutely great. there really wasn’t anybody who didn’t get along with anyone else…or maybe we just didn’t spend enough time together, lol. either way, it was great. only bad thing was not having a phone or internet. the college (residence) i’m staying in now has computers with internet though, so it’s okay. and a bunch of us got phones today, so that’s good too.
meeting so many new people is overwhelming. but nothing really compares to it, and i wouldn’t have it any other way, of course. what else could anyone want? i’m not even in my permanent residence yet, so the only weird thing is knowing that these are not the exact people that i’ll be living with, and some people i’ve really gotten to know, well i don’t know how much i’ll REALLY see them. what will be will be though, i suppose.
with the whole internet thing, there is apparently a download cap where i’ll be staying. i don’t know what the exact limits are though, and what that means i can or can’t do. i’ll get someone to explain it to me as they would to a five year old, so i can understand. and then we’ll see what skype and pics are possible. or whatever.
so i hope people use this to keep up with what’s going on with me. i miss everyone from the US terribly, but don’t miss me too much! haha. take care everyone.
