Tuesday, 4 Mar 2008 | Views [1466] | Comments [2]

So I was lying in bed this morning (I really had to pee but I didn't want to wake Lindsay up since it was a bit early) and I was thinking about all the people who have written me who I haven't responded to.  Or maybe who I have responded to but in my ... Read more >

It's been a few days

Thursday, 28 Feb 2008 | Views [743]

Tuesday Lindsay and I went to the Comedy Night and it was DREADFUL. One of the comedians had such a thick Australian accent and used SO much slang that it was impossible to understand him. It was like someone stuffed my ears with cotton and then started ... Read more >

Strange moment. Pre beach party (around 4 pm) I was chatting with Valerie online for the first time since I got here. Then she HAD to go to bed and I went about life, ate dinner, got ready, went and danced my heart out, came home and am about to pass ... Read more >

Playa Party

Tuesday, 26 Feb 2008 | Views [464]

As it were Ellen, there ARE Australian girls.  It just so happens that few and far between at Uni. are very cool and un-slutty (sorry Australian girls). Our other housemate, Paris (who IS Australian), moved in.  She's basically one of the most fun people ... Read more >

No one here is mourning the crocodile hunter.

Moni: Italian food is sub-par.  They don't make meatballs like you.  We did find a nice little restaurant that is called Michelangelo's and has a bistecca salad and delicious lasagna for a good price.  I LOVED your Brio gossip column.  I'm pretty sure ... Read more >

Barbies (not the kind with pink plastic heels)

Sunday, 24 Feb 2008 | Views [794] | Comments [3]

Really tired. Today was the bbq with other residents of Burwood Student Living... good food and good people generally. It was a nice day.  Not hot at all and breezy.  Warm if you stayed in the sun but a bit chilly in the shade. Guaranteed nothing ... Read more >

So Danny, Lindsay and I hopped on a tram towards Melbourne.  It's a BEAUTIFUL city.  I loved it.  We met a random guy name Kyle/Karl (who knows with the accent) on the tram and he told us that Brunswick street was a good place to go so we followed him ... Read more >

Casey's letter came today.  It brightened up everything, even though it's a cloudy day. Danny (our housemate) and Lindsay and I are going to go out tonight.  I'm not sure where but he says he has an idea of where to go.  He's from Sydney so he doesn't ... Read more >

Back to Bad.

Thursday, 21 Feb 2008 | Views [913] | Comments [6]

Horrible news. We don't get "concession" cards.   What's a concession card?  It's what we SHOULD get for being students and cut the price of the tram in half.  Not having one cuts your fun in half.  Maybe even worse.  I think it was the straw ... Read more >

Saturday, 16 Feb 2008 | Views [441] | Comments [2]

It's Saturday.  Lindsay and I just woke up.  We slept for about 12 hours straight and honestly I think the jet lag is officially over. We're pretty much a million miles away from everything.  In a desperate attempt for Breakfast for the next morning, ... Read more >
