Greetings

Hello out there!

My name is Courtney, and I have just moved up to the sunny Gold Coast from a little coastal town in NSW called Port Macquarie. Fun times for the first few weeks when I moved up until reality kicked in and I had to start using my brain for Uni! I am studying a Bachelor of Communication full time at Griffith Univeristy. Absolutely loving it so far, although i'm finding it hard to get motivated living up here! The no money, no home cooked meals, and being independent thing kind of sucks though....
....I'd give anything to have a bit of Mum's home cooked chicken and vegetable pie and an ironed shirt right about now!

I graduated from school in 2006 and had a year off last year to work, save money, and spend time with my family and friends back in Port Macquarie after being at boarding school for two years. I can honestly say that they were the best two years of my life! I resented my parents for sending me there at first, but now I thank them everyday. Who would have thought?

I'd have to say the one thing I love the most in this world, besides family, friends and all that jazz, is music. I love nothing more than going to concerts and festivals. I'm no Hendrix, but I enjoy playing the guitar. I have been a bit slack the past year with it, so I'm hoping to get back into it once I settle in up here a bit better.

Well, that's about it for now. I'm pretty new to this whole blog thing, so bear with me while I try and make it look half decent!
