Hello Everyone !

the last week or so has been pretty good. The usual cleaning and packing. On friday (Nates last full day in Aussie) we had plans to spend the day at surfers paradise however they were calling for horrible rainy and gale foce winds so we decided just to spend the day around brisbane city. The day didnt start off very well but by noon we were hanging out and having a blast. We went to souveneer (sp?) shops and then took the city cat (the water taxi) across to south bank. I have to say that it was freakin awesome! I forgot how much i love being on a boat. Once on southbank we ate some lunch and then picked up our tickets for Avenue Q. After we got our tickets we walked down to the riverside and just sat on the grass talking and laughing. Prob the most fun ive had in a very long time. Once 7 o clock came around we went and got our seats for the show. The show turned out to be HALARIOUS! Its seseme street and the muppets put together but is completely for adults which you can understand when they do songs like "the internet is for porn" and "everyones a little bit racist" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbQiSVeQwVQ . Heres one of the tame songs from the london proformance its called It Sucks To Be Me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK6ksA0QyE4 (sorry no puppets in this one)  it was really really funny. I highly recommend it. 

As for Nate leaving, it was the hardest thing ive ever had to do. Weve spent the past 9 months together almost eveyr moment of everyday and i hate to see it stop :( But being the amazing man that he is he left me a video to get me thru the lonely days when he cant make it online so i dont ever have to go to sleep without hearing his goodnight. I love you babe <3 so very very much

So far the new place is going alright. I have 3 italian roomates and an australian woman living with me in Unit 6 lol. The italians dont speak a whole lot of english and prefer to talk to each other in italian. But they are clean and respectuful and thats all i really care about lol.. Pics of the new room can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2120779&id=119100065&l=eb343f4fc8 after the park pictures of course. Yes its crowded and messy but i only moved in yesterday and really wasnt in the mood to clean. so shhhh ur face lol. haha . 

As for this week i have Prac tomorrow and then school all the way till thursday and a forum posting thats due on the friday. Hopefully itll pass by quickly ...

xoxo
