So it is very weird to watch the winter Olympics while sweating here in Australia in 80 degree weather haha. I have been cooking a lot more, you should all be proud! Ive made tuna casserole, spaghetti and meat sauce, hamburgers, and much more. And tonight I made my ultimate meal! First I had a salad with lemon and pepper and salt on it and then I had pasta, vegetables, and dim sum which are basically like the Chinese dumplings at home. And I put pepper, garlic, lemon and some butter and milk on it… DELICIOUS! Lol. Ive been eating a crazy amount of watermelon here, I mean u have to when its hot outtt! Ive been having issues with lunch because I don’t like their deli meat here, it tastes weird so ive been eating a ton of peanut butter, mother always says u gotta have protein! Lol. Still the bats freak me out at night, I don’t think I will ever get used to them flying around everywhere cause they are just grossss! Ive had thai food here twice, pad thai both times and it was amazinggggg! The sushi here is also pretty amazing! But no good Mexican food :(

distance

week to week

Ok, so i do realize that it seems to u guys that all i do is drink because of what I write on my blog but FALSE. i really only go out twice a weekend and dont go out during the week. but during the week i have gotten into a pretty routine agenda. i have class twice a week and work 4 times a week. i get my meal card on tuesday and shop usually on thursdays. Colleen and i usually switch off making dinner but every night we make a legit dinner. i am doing well and being healthy. overall im having a great time and just trying to take in the city. ill write another blog soon about the rest of this weekend, i had a lot of fun and toured a little of sydney! more to come! and im really excited for next week because i think my friends adn i will go to manly beach and meet up with some local aussies and go to paddys markets,...well thats the plan for now anyways, lets hope it doesnt rain! o and im doing three projects and case studies for class and one of them is on israel and the controversy of openning an arbys in israel, so anattyy ill b speakin to u shortly!!

the work place

Noticed people are a lot for laid back at work here than at home. Yesterday one of the guys I work with had a huge problem and a bunch of things weren’t going right so he was screaming FUCK and said fuck about 5 times in each sentence. Then the lady that works next to me got changed in the bathroom before she left work and she was wearing a tube top so she had taken her bra off so she just held it in the wide open and was swinging it around. Its very different to say the least lol

Thursday and Saturday

Ok so lately its just been classes and work and blah blah blah. Its is cool though cause despite all of the difference, sometimes I get so used to it and forget that im halfway across the world and then I go across the bridge and see the opera house twice a week on my way to school and it hits me every time. But anywyas yea, nothing too too exciting until today…well yesterday too
So yesterday was a long day and I bought a cappuccino at lunch and it is soooo strong. I had trouble drinking it at first and they don’t put much sugar in it so I wasn’t used to that either. It made me so wired, I was basically twitching and felt like I ran the 45 mins back to my apartment hahaa. And then at night we all went to sidebar again because one of the kids in my groups works at the hostel connected to it and gets us a deal on Thursdays blah blah blah. So yea it was fun but people were leaving early and stuff or getting kicked out cause apparently colleen and Jeremy got kicked out for being to drunk which apparently the do all the time at bars in Australia. Well anyways so then me cody and linds went to a gay bar on oxford street which was really fun and we only stayed there for a little.
The next morning majorrrr hangover. Went to bed at 3am and woke up around 7am for work. a real trooper.i was sooooo tired but I made it through, NBD. At work I had to call, email, and fax companies about getting more of their brochures to continue circulation which I actually didn’t mind because I got to talk to a bunch of Australians and hear g’day a bunch haha. Actually one person I talked to had a real thick accent and used some words I wasn’t familiar with so I could not understand him for the life of me. And then I worked on the website a bunch. Then went home and chilled for a couple hours. Y roommate and a bunch of other people went on a surf trip for the weekend so I have the apartment to myself which at first I was really excited about. Then I went up to april’s penthouse (I think I mentioned how they had been moved cause of bed bugs) cause she invited me up for a movie. Me, Natasha, Christine, aamar, erin, and april watched a movie which they had neglected to tell me was for their cinema class so it blew haha. Then went down to my room after watchin that and hangin and watchin more tv...
Sat on my couch and then got something to drink and then sat on the couch. I was really tired by this point but I was like oh I feel like my slipper socks are wet... YUP, my whole apartment wasflooded with water. The livin room, the bedroom, it was a big puddle. So I had to call down and talk to someone who gave me another room which I am sleeping in tonite, by myself and its actually nice cause theres a kingso I have plenty of room. And we will c wat happens with it all.

just catching up

RAIN

apparently it’s the rainy season here... that’s wat they said and the first week it barely rained.. but now, it rains pretty much EVERYDAY which sucks because theres really not much to do when it rains. Im hoping the rainy season is short but we will just have to wait and see...ughhh
