I never understood "Jetlag" until moving here. The last 2 nights Adam and I have gone bed before 8 p.m. - Are we lame or just old? I can't decide. We also can't sleep in and are up at 6:30 a.m., which I guess is good practice for the weeks to come when he starts work and I start classes.

We went to visit Bond yesterday and it was amazing! I love the campus and the people were super friendly. The food was a bit lacking, but I guess that will save me money as I'll be forced to pack a lunch. I got my student card, gym membership, timetable, and then Adam got upset so we ditched the campus to tour to argue. We fought about where to live, what to drive, how to commute, who will commute, bills, budgets, and just about everything else you can think of. I think he was most upset that I wanted to live near school (which means he will need to commute 1.5 hrs each way) when my classes don't start until 10:00 a.m., and I only have class 4 days a week. I keep trying to tell him that I will be at school studying everyday, but he doesn't believe me, which I cant blame him- I've never been good at getting up in the mornings and going to school... I just hope I can prove him wrong. I also want to live in the Gold Coast because the places to rent are WAY better than in Brisbane. So after a good solid afternoon of arguing we left Bond and headed home via transit. I hate transit.

At home we didn't get an further ahead and realized that we are not on the same page with a lot of things. We agreed to leave it alone tonight and re-address in the morning, when we were both less stressed. I spent the evening unpacking and reading. Adam spent the evening on the computer. It was nice to know that we could disagree and take time away to reflect without having another pointless argument.

This morning we got up and agreed on a bank account and our plan for the day. It was nice to not argue about this and I think today will be more productive! I am a little homesick and missing my friends and life in Calgary. It's funny because I couldn't wait to leave Calgary and without me even realizing it, Calgary became our home. At Bond yesterday a lady told me it will take about a week to settle in. I hope she is right. xoxo

  1. It's always hard when you each have a different opinion and you are sure that yours is the right one. Rob and I have the same issues even after 10 years of marriage. The key is to keep communicating. Good luck with these decisions, I'm sure in the long run whatever you guys decide will work out.
