Afternoon everyone.It's currently 5:30pm on Sunday, and after a really long and stressful day I got my internet to work again in my flat. I will get into that after I give you a weekend update:
Friday: Well Friday was a tough day; going out the night before definitely wasn't the best idea because I was exhausted for Friday. I had to get up even earlier on Friday to make a Council meeting at 8:30. After the council meeting I had to go around to the shop owners and hand out a memo regarding Australia Day. Australia day is the comparison to the 4th of July for America. Australia Day so happens to be on Wednesday, so no work:). Although, I'm sure I will be at the beach in Manly regardless. Friday was really blah and the whole jetlag,and going on Thursday didn't equate right.I really am an old woman who has no social life, or can't keep up with one. Anyways, I got home on the 5:30 ferry and I literally passed out on it. After getting off the ferry it was a very slow walk back to the flat. Remember how I mentioned how bad my feet were on my last blog? Well, once I got back to the flat I couldn't even bend my foot due to having blisters in between my toes, on the sides of my feet, and on top of my toes. No matter what type of shoe I where, I get blisters. I could barely walk, because I was in so much pain. I had plans with the girls to go out for drinks, but there was noway I could. I stayed in and stayed off my feet for the whole night (not fun) and edited the pictures I've been taking since I've been here. It was such a great night....NOT.
Saturday- Well my body's clock went off at 6:45:(. Layed in bed and watched the same 2 episodes of Kendra and the Kardashians since E! is the only channel we basically get here. I waited till 10:30, before I ran and jumed on Mel's bed to get her up. We all got up and got dressed to head to Manly for a beach day. 82 degrees, sun shinning, and water so blue was awaiting us when we got there. We all laid out, and had some water time, until Danielle just couldn't take it anymore. When Danielle came to Manly with me the one day on my work day, she was on the beach and got burned. Little did she or anyone know how bad it was, until the next few days passed. It got really bad, and then when we went to the beach on Saturday it got worse. She headed back early to stay out of the sun, and relaxed till we all got back. We headed back to Sydney around 5:30, because Jenn had an appointment at the Mac store. I definitely could have stayed awhile longer because it was simply the perfect day. I stopped at the grocery store to pick up some things,so I could down some costs, but it honestly didn't make a difference because it's still, if not more expensive. After my grocery visit I came back, and then headed downstairs to see how Danielle was holding up. We ended up getting pizza because everyone was having issues and a shitty day. We got two family sized pizzas that is equivalent to a personal pizza in states. RIP OFF! After dinner and frozen yogurt, I headed back upstairs to go to sleep. Being in the sun all afternoon and the water made me sleep. As I was just about to fall asleep, Mel and her friend that she met on exchange (she now lives in Australia) a few years ago came back to the flat. Mel was yelling and she literally dragged me out of the bed to go out with them. Since my feet were feeling a little better and how I really wanted to have a my first night out in Sydney in a club. So, even though I was tired I got up and got ready. Since the age to drink here is 18, and how I never get carded--when you go to a club-bar-or lounge you have to have an ID. Well I didn't know that and so I had to go back to the flat to get it. Once we got up to the bar, it was like I was at the Jersey shore. All the guys were gorilla juiceheads, women were ridiculously drunk and falling all over the place, and to top it all off TECHNO music...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I wanted to go out and have fun, so I tried to keep an open mind. I had a great time with Mel! I got really lucky with her being my roommate. We are too alike, and she was a lot of fun to be around/watch when we got out. After watching all the gorilla juiceheads fist pump (wearing tight open shirts, fake tans)/ all the white people who can't dance tear it up to the weirdest techno music....I headed out. I'm glad I experienced it, but it is definitely not my scene or felt comfortable in. I walked back to the flat, and passed out. I got up early once again, but forced myself back to sleep.I had brekfast and then headed to Telestraso they could fix my usb wireless that has failed me terribly. Once I got there I had to wait forever. I was there for literally over 2 hours until everything was done. The guy who was helping me fet really bad, but it's not like he can magically appear and send me wifi to my apartment. After I got done I headed to meet up with Danielle to pick out a work-shirt. I just got back and had a late lunch, and filling you all in. Tomorrow is another work day, and I have to admit that I could really use another day off. Womp.....welcome to the real world.
