Who are we? - Jason

Hey mates!  I'm Jason and I plan on documenting all four months of my adventures with Mike here in Australia.  Whether it be the difficulty of classes, to where we went shopping for food last night.  But, first for the many people who may not know who I am, I'm Jason a college junior at Champlain College in Burlington, Vermont.  There I work in the dining hall on campus for good ole' Sodexo, and I'm working on a Bachelor's in Computer Information Technology.

Other than attending college, I also hang out with a multitude of friends, play video games from Minecraft to Rock Band 3.  With video gaming and friends, I also need a job to help balance it all out.  I work about 26-28 hours in Champlain's Dining Hall.  Other than gaming and hanging with friends, I also do homework/essays in the hours before they're due.

The final thing you should all know is why did I choose Australia?  I was originally planning on going through a third party to Europe by myself in Portugal, or going with Champlain College and staying at their Dublin campus.  But, as my friend Mike of thirteen years could only go to a few colleges that work with his degree, he chose Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia.  After further investigation on my end, it worked well with my major as well!  Fast forward a year and a half of paperwork, stress, Australian Student Visas, etc. and I'm now in Melbourne, Australia!

And this is where my blog begins of our adventures, classes, and travels.   :)
