Changes...

So I finally moved into a new apartment, and it is much better. I now live in what is called "Macquarie University Village", which is made up of about 200 houses. Each house has two floors and five bedrooms. I am living with Lindsey (US), Lauren (US), Julie (US), and Ali (uhh....crap. somewhere near Turkey, I just can't think of it right now, but he's cool). Every room has it's own bathroom, which is nice. Everything else in the apartment is shared. But, we do have to pay for laundry, which I guess is $3/load and the washers are tiny...mom...money...lol. Also, I finally got internet set up, which is $40/month...mom. lol.

I will shoot a video of the apartment soon so you can see what it's like. My room isn't as big as my last one, but it is still nice. So some other nice things about this apartment is that it is much closer to campus, the gym, and the frisbee field. It used to take me maybe 20 minutes to walk to the gym, now it takes 5. It would take me 30 minutes to walk to the frisbee field, now it takes about 10. Also, the "village" plans events for resident students, so that should be a good way to meet more people, and a good way to have some fun!

So I have a bit of a dilemma right now...to go to frisbee practice, or to go on a cruise. Here it is:
Frisbee practice is from 4:30-6:30 and we only meet once a week right now and I really love playing, and I also want to meet people from the team. I also had a lot of fun at last weeks' practice. I bought cleats for about $60 or something like that, and a jersey for $35 I think.

The cruise leaves the harbour at 7 pm sharp, but they said to arrive by 6:30. It takes roughly an hour and 15 minutes to get to the wharf, and the cruise was $20. This includes the ride around Sydney harbour, food, beer, and wine. (This is the same area that the 80's cruise was on, which was free, but the drinks were $7-8, ridiculous!) But, I would also have to pay for transportation, which would be $5 each way, and then if we went out after, that would be more.

So I have already invested in each event (cleats, and ticket). You might be saying, why not go to part of practice and then go to the cruise? Well, I thought of that, but really all I would be going to practice for would be jogging, stretching, and a few throws, and MAYBE a drill. Because I would still have to shower afterwards, and get changed. I really want to go to practice, but I also want to go to the cruise because I know a bunch of people that are going and it seems like a lot of fun. Arg....I don't know! I only have a few more hours to decide...hmm...maybe I will flip a coin (Ali's suggestion, no not my roommate Ali, the guy, but Ali the girl from back home).

Hmm...not too much else going on at this moment. My classes are very interesting and I like them a lot. I think I will go take the video of the apartment now.

Thanks for reading!
