Awww Crap...

Well yeah, awww crap...it's been a while since I've posted a new blog, my bad. I actually had to look back at my previous blog to see what I wrote because I don't remember when I last posted, haha, yay me!

Alright, so I'm really settling in here quite well: I really like my housemates, I'm having fun with my frisbee team, classes are good, I feel like I'm really experiencing Sydney.

So St. Patty's Day was a good time, I went out with the girls and some of our neighbors. We went to a few bars (both of which had an awesome party going on), some people got kissed, some people got pissed (Aussie slang for drunk), and most people got both, lol.

So I have my first Ultimate Frisbee tournament tomorrow, which I am very excited about. It's a hat tournament (throw names in a hat and pick random teams) for the local Uni students. It's basically grouped into three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Based on whatever level you are you will then be put onto a random team in that category.

But these tournaments are really relaxed and not too competitive, so I guess it's just a fun relaxed day of frisbee with beer and pizza at the end, and did I mention that it's in Sydney? Yeah, I'm in Sydney...cool.

So it's really hitting me that I'm here in Sydney, it's so cool. I'm really getting a feel for the city, and I feel like I am finding a place in it. The weather is maybe the best part, for example today was 30 degrees Celsius, which is equal to about...86 Fahrenheit degrees off the top of my head. Just kidding...but really.

So we go to the beach basically every weekend, last weekend we went to Cooji Beach, which is beautiful. And there is also a huge swimming pool outside the fitness center, which is only a 5 minute walk, so everyone goes there a lot. It's so cool to be able to go study by the pool on a really nice day. Or maybe not study...But really, I feel like I am on a constant vacation. The weather is pretty much always gorgeous, we do a ton of fun stuff, and I'm experiencing so many new things; I am very glad that I came.

We go to the city roughly twice a week, beach another day, and then we usually watch movies at night if we don't go out. I can't say how much better my living situation is now, I am very thankful that I could get moved here. Anyways, it's actually really hard to do work and be productive here, all the things I described above and in past blogs create a terrible work environment. It seems like there is so much going on that I just don't want to do work. I think that the words of my housemate Lauren Lawson, sums it up: "my school is getting in the way of my drinking". Haha.

Anywhoo...today I went to Paddy's Market, which is basically an indoor version of china town. So needless to say, I got a lot of souveneirs (which may either be for me or for you...depending on how much stuff you send me :-) lol). Just kidding again...but really.

Alright, well thanks for reading, and I'll be sure to post again sooner than I did last time.
