To the city and beyond!
Mood:  energetic

Today was an AWESOME day Laughing Nathan and I ventured into downtown where we went to the Queen st Mall. Theres a huge outdoor courtyard and pathways lined with stores, so many things to look at and check out! Very exciting. After we walked around for a bit we caught another bus over to the Kelvin Grove campus of QUT. Seriously the building looks like its somthing off the OC lol. So awesome. Each of the buildings were marked by what I swear is a giant boggle letter LOL (see the pics to decide for yourself)While on campus I saw another wild turkey lol and got my Student ID card and my Blue card (a card needed to work with any children in Australia). Unfortunatly I have to go back on wed or thursday to have my password changed so i can log into my main school account as well as to get my courses all set up.Def a very fun and exciting day.

Day two - Hike!

After waking up and eating some cereal while watching cartoons Nate and I decided to head otu for a walk to explore the park beside our house. Turns out theres a huuuuge pathway through a forest so we decided to explore! it was a GOREGOUS gourgeous walk. Then we were off to Paddington again before heading home and having a movie night.

Day one in Aussie!
Mood:  celebratory

After sleeping the morning away Nate and I woke up and packed up all of the remaining things from his old room and moved into the new place! YAY! we have our own place!! The landlady is really really nice and down to earth. The place is small but big enough for the two of us :) After that we went into the nearest town -Paddington - (like the bear)  and did some groceries. then came back home and moved all our stuff in and put everything away. For all those who want/need it our address here is 14 Cecil Road, Bardon QLD 4065.

 

Check out the pics of our house :)

Screw Flying ...I Want A Teleporter!

My flights were..well... interesting? Saying goodbye to my parents was probably the hardest thing ever to do but I gotta go solo eventually right? After that I had about an hour before they started to boarding my first flight (from Toronto to Vancouver - 5 hour flight) During the wait I didn't do much, just checked out all the little stores and checkd out all the people who were going to be on the same plane and choosing which ones i really hope im not stuck sitting beside LOL - i said no to the baby and the young children but yes to the monks (i just think theyd be cool to sit beside hahaha). Meanwhile they ended up cancelling the other flight and moving them on to the monster plane i'd be taking. Thankfully I lucked out and was sitting beside a really nice Australian old couple heading back home from the states where they were visiing family. Unfortunatly when I landed in Vancouver I ended up getting really sick- prob. just from exhaustion :S . When i got back on the plane for my second flight ( Vancouver to Sydney -~14.5 hour flight ) i really didnt want to do anything but sleep, so i put in my earphones and slept as best as i could considering i was on a plane. That was the slowest 14 hours of my life. I watched an insane amount of movies and listened to almost all the music they had on the plane lol. There was a huge wind storm happening all over Aust. so as we got closer we had alot of turbulance and even though we arrived in sydney a half hour early, we ended up circling the airport for over said half hour before we were able to land. Then between customs, getting my luggage, heading to the opposite side of the airport, checking in and security i had all of 5 mins to get to my gate before my 3rd plane (sydney to Brisbane -1.5 hrs) boarded. On an upside tho I swear to God they found the plane that wasin the most need of some oil and put us all on it lol. Again we were delayed about a half hour for the crazy wind which lead to horrible turbulance the entire flight over. Add that to the plane making wierd creaking/squeaking noises everytime the wings adjust etc., and sitting in the middle of a smelly old guy and some young marine (who i think doesnt do well with flying - altho  i cant blame him with this plane)  and that was the worst plane ride of my life. Sigh. As soon as i got off the plane tho Nathan <3 was there with a beautiful bouquet of daisies with pretty purple flowers mixed in and the biggest smile ever just for me. :D . that made the horrible planes well worth it. After that it was just the matter of getting my bags and heading back to Nathans so that i could sleep, which i did for a solid 16 hours ..stupid jet lag lol So all in all I have one year in which to invent/find/buy a transporter so that i no longer have to deal with this crazy flying buisness.
