3 Months to go ~Aug 29, 2010~

This past week went by so quickly! I had another 2 assessments to turn in, and one I have to finish by tomorrow at 6pm. Ben has been bugging me to do it, all weekend, I'll get to it... Thursday was a really fun night. It was SUPPOSED to me a foam party at 240V, but when we got there, there was not one ounce of foam! What a rip off! But it was still a good time, I love dancing there. It was me, Kelly, Danielle, Chris, Seb and David. It was Molly's birthday celebration, and this other boy Jerry's, he's Australian. Tomorrow is this American girls birthday, Karen, so everyone is going to have a good night tonight too lol. And it's Sunday, so my favorite place tonight, O'Malleys! :D Good things always happen at O'Malleys! Oh yea, on Wed night Australian Luke picked me up and we watched Casino Royale at his place in Mooloolaba, it's such a good movie. He's cool, I like hanging out with Australians. The way they talk is addicting. They say "I reckon" instead of "I think." And "hey" at the end of their sentences. "Sweet as, good as" And "heaps" for "a lot" lol. One of my favorites is "I can't be bothered" for "I don't feel like it." HA! They literally shorten every word. I have never been called "Ang" so much in my life before coming here, they don't even think about it and I doubt if they even know my full name haha. The culture here is so amazing, I could definately get used to it ;) So Friday was really boring, nobody did much. I was at the pool for most of the day, hanging out with Justin, being annoyed by some random Roland kid who doesn't even live at Uni or goes to Uni, but is visiting. I don't know but he was infatuated with Americans and loved our accents. Weird. Me, Kelly, Danielle, Chris and Seb made burgers and had watermelon for dinner, YUM! Me and Seb had to walk to IGA (a convient store down the street from campus) to get hamburger buns. We had Tim Tams for dessert. Oh my God, Tim Tams are the greatest things ever. It's like and Australian version of the Oreo! It's a chocolate, hazlenut creamy mouse cookie thing. MMMMMmmmm...I'll have to bring some back as presents haha. They are cheap too! Always on sale at Woolies. Also, the ATM's don't require a fee to take out money, which I think is so great. I'm getting used to the $1 and $2 coins. I always feel like I have no cash, but really all the coins on my desk adds up to more than $10! Yesterday, I hung out with Matty in the morning for a bit. Then Kelly and I went to the pool for an hour or so, had lunch then we met Danielle and Seb to go to the Plaza. We missed the 2:00pm bus so we had to wait until 3pm which kind of sucked because the plaza closes at 5:30pm on Saturdays for some reason, which I think is very inconvenient. Kelly and Danielle went to Target and Seb and I walked around random stores. Seb got a kebab (which is like a gyro) and I had a gatorade while stupid pigeons walked around and ate food off the floor, ugh stupid nasty birds. And I got pooped on! A tiny little bird let one go on my leg! UGH! If it would have been bigger I would have been pissed, but it was tiny so I just laughed, but now that I think about it now, it was pretty gross lol. On Tuesday Kelly and I made tacos and OMG they were SO GOOD, one of the best things we've had here, and after Michael and Ashliegh took me and Danielle to the Plaza for coffee and a snack. We went to this cafe called Zarraffa's and it was better than Starbucks. SO FREAKING GOOD! I got an iced mocha something that had ice cream, fudge and cinnamon on top. (drool...) New favorite place! I'm going to have to remember to take more pictures of all these places! On Friday we realized there was exactly 3 more months here...so sad. We don't want to leave!! What if we never get to see any of these people ever again!! :( *sad* Last night, after we got back from the Plaza I went to hang out at the Pav with Todd, crutches Matt, Cole, Jenna and Emma and some other people. We were trying to watch Rugby, but it was some guys birthday so the music was cranked and people were drinking and playing air hockey and pool and talking and laughing so loud. I didn't really mind that much, I just like hanging out with those people because they are all Australian! And plus, I never get to watch rugby in the States, so I was trying to learn the game and had them explain rules to me and stuff. After, we went back to Todd's and watched Swordfish, good movie. Then we put in Pineapple Express. Yay...not. There are some pretty funny parts, but it's all about getting high and crap. But it was nice to chill out with some Australians. I stayed the night because it was pouring out and it was like 2am. This morning, Rebecca made pancakes again like last Sunday, but I missed out so I just had Krispy Kreme custard filled donughts that Matty brought home Friday night after he got from ice skating in Brisbane. Man sure knows how to make a girl happy lol. Ben invited me to got skating with him Chloe, Amy and Kat next Saturday. Some guy I met at the Pav last night asked me out to the beach and dinner next Saturday too. I had to pass lol. I'm doing an experiment to see if I can go this whole trip without having to buy myself a drink. So far so good, and its been 6 weeks :):)
Tonight Ben is playing at Buderim Tavern again, so I invited Kelly and Danielle to come with and we are going to go I think, otherwise I'll just go with Todd and those boys. It's a good time. Plus O'Malley's after! Tonights going to be a good night! :)
