Meeting a bunch of new Aussies! I wonder how creepy it is that I talk about people on here. I guess I'll see who sticks around as friends first- though I do have a lot of interesting stories to tell about people! Maybe some other time.
First night out downtown in Australia last night. Original plans were to go out with my building but we ended up on Flinders. Joseph drove which was awesome - saved some cash - but turns out clubs are $10 cover (which is expensive when you don't have a lot of AUD, have to pay for buses and "heaps" of other things in the next few days). You get what you pay for? It was pretty damn nice!
Ride there was pretty funny with Abby freaking out in the back with the whole "left-hand side of the road" deal. Honestly, it is a bit weird turning corners. I have also noticed lots of speed bumps, but they're pretty big and spread out so its no big deal (unless you're Abby). Ride home was funny as well, since Ross was convinced that I was driving (I was shotgun) the whole way home.
We started off at Monsoon and the boys played an American vs. "Everywhere Else" pool game. Guess who won? Some unmentionable and unexpected events occurred. It was pretty chill there - rugby on tv, people at the bar or playing pool. We headed out to the Consortium (sp?). Nice. Place.
There were a bunch of places to sit around tables... in these white draped small room things across from the bar area, which then opened up to a dance floor with a dj above and the whole deal w/ fancy lights and whatnot. I was really suprised with all the guys dancing - Australians know how to do it! Jen (WORM) and the other UMiami crew were pretty impressive too. Music was great - odd but pretty cool that they had Wonderwall as a remix. Everyone there gets really really dressed up in heels and tight dresses, guys in button down/collared shirts etc. A bunch of places wont let you in if you're not dressed up enough or not wearing the right footwear.
I really didn't pack too smart (need fancy stuff? more tanks!) - too many long things but I'm hesitant about buying things. Lookin for a job I think. I'm scared about my classes and work load since I'm expecting it to be pretty intense. Hope I have enough time for both! Most people get paid like $15/hr - and purchases are expensive. Balances out if you actually live here I suppose.
Today I took a sqiz at the new building in the Catholic College - DAMN! its like MTV/cribs/real world in there!
Hopefully I'll be at the beach tomorrow!
