Cocktail Party ~Sept 4, 2010~

Can you believe it's already Sept! And I arrived here in the middle of July! WOW! Time flies... Last sunday was a really fun night. Everyone was at Buderim Tavern to see Ben play. The other performers, who plays before Ben is named Bryce, he's French and has been here for 3 years and has only been speaking English for that time and he's already singing like it was his first language! He's pretty cool, he likes that I can speak a little french with him. Everyone was there, since it was Karen's birthday and Liam is playing the drums tomorrow with Ben so I'm sure everyone will be there again. Kelly, Danielle and Alice ended up coming with me, they had a really good time as well. Danielle got a bloody mary and I got to try it, I've never had one before, SO good! I liked it a lot!! I was going to get one, but they were $12.50 each. I passed lol. Me and Kelly shared some chips (french fries) and they came with this delicious sour cream and sweet chili sauce...(droool...) Definately getting those next time! Alice, Danielle and Kelly went into the casino part, it's just a little area with slot machines, but I didn't go in. Gambling scares the crap out of me! Alice and Danielle got the bartenders number, his name was Scott. Our fries took so long he gave me Kelly and Danielle a free drink. Score! The manager cam up and was chatting with me, asking how I liked the place and I talked up Ben and told him how I brought all my friends and we love it here. So, got a good word in, which is good. More free drinks in my future I think...Ha!
Me, Chris, Danielle and Alice went to O'malley's after. Kelly stayed with some people at the Bud Tav. It was a good night. Me and Danielle had to pretend to be girlfriends one so this guy in a suit would stop creeping on me. Alice almost reuined it by introducing herself as my girlfriend as well. Butthead...lol.
Monday, we went out for a girls night out. Me, Kelly, Danielle, Alice and Ashleigh went to a restaurant called Hog's Breath in Mooloolaba by Underwater World. It was really good, but the service was terrible. Which doesn't matter since you don't tip here, but I was still really annoyed. I would never be such a terrible server! We had nice chats, it was a really good night! Wednesday was Robby's 21st birthday, so me, Kelly, Justin, Robby and Mike went to this mexican restaurant in Mooloolaba called Montezuma's! A lot of Margarita's and Sangria's later, we were one tipsy table! The food was delicious (didn't beat Qdoba, however!) And I think Kelly wants to go there for her 21st too!
On Wed Alice and I went to the Plaza after class and got haircuts. I got some layers and side swept bangs, for only $26! And no tip! So that was good. It looks ok, it'll be better once it grows in, so a couple of weeks.
Class has been pretty standard, kind of feel over my head in my Managing Organisational Change class, but I suppose I'll get through it. I have 2 assessments due next Friday before spring break. 2 weeks of no class, but not doing anything because I am absolutely out of money. Most people are flying to Cannes, renting vans/cars and roadtripping back down here to the Sunshine Coast, or Brisbane. Lucky ducks!
Last night, the American girls (April, Molly, Jules, ect...) and Todd, crutchy Matt, Cole, Liam, Chase ect...(like 20 people) had a cocktail party. It was SO MUCH FUN. Everyone dressed up so nice, the boys had ties on and everything and all the girls wore cocktail dresses and no beer was allowed, just pure liquer. I had so many mixed drinks from coke and vanilla vodka to something Matt and Todd called "Death by Alcohol" There was also "Suicide by Alcohol" after that...and after that was "Genocide by Alcohol." Ha! Classic. It was a success, everyone was having a good time. Bit of a headache this morning, I will admit, but totally worth it and didn't have to spend a dime!
Today, Aussie Luke is picking me up for a going away party for his roommate Jess. She's going to study in Germany. I invited Kelly and Danielle, but I have no idea where they are, I came home this morning and Matty said that Kelly was looking for me earlier, but now I can't reach anyone. Oh well. Tons of people are going to Brissy this weekend for Riverfire. It's this thing with jets and fire and water and fire and more fire lol. I guess it's pretty insane, but I'm here because I couldn't afford to go. Now me and Matty are just talking and relaxing, tomorrow should be fun at Bud Tav, I know all the boys are going to be wasted by 3pm though, because Rugby starts at noon and they are all obsessed. So that'll be fun, not lol.
I feel like all my posts are like novel's! I hope no one minds! Hope you're enjoying reading! I think I need a nap... ;p
