2 weeks in

Before I say anything about what I have been up to, I'd like to congratulate myself on making a stir fry tonight.  I stepped away from the PB&J route (which I have had for the last 6 or so meals) and made a stir fry with brown rice…and it was wonderful.

SO the past two weeks have been a lot of fun, despite the weather.  I thought I was coming during summer but I was not aware that this is the rainy season.  And to date, I think I have seen the sunshine for only 2 days.  Oh well, at least it's a warm rain!  

We had orientation week for my apartment complex last week!  We got to do all of the night events but because of the rain, a lot of the things they had planned for the day were cancelled.

We have been going to Melba's a lot…it's a bar in Surfer's Paradise with some pretty awesome deals.  The other night it was buy 2 meals and get $100 in drinks. So, we obviously took advantage of that.  We also went to Broadbeach on one of the days when the sun was out…it was a really cute spot but we had an awful experience at a little Mexican restaurant called Burrito Bar.  They were out of steak, guacamole, their wi-fi wasn't working, they didn't have any change, and they were almost out of margaritas.  A couple was looking at the menu deciding whether or not to eat there and I gave them the signal to find something else.  We were desperate for Mexican…and there isn't much here.

Besides doing things with the girls, school started this week.  I have 1 class Wednesday, 1 Thursday and 1 Friday.  They are 3 hours long which is a little brutal but I have a lot of free time with my schedule.  I'm in a popular fiction and mass culture class and so far it has been awesome.  The teacher is really funny and engaging.  That's about it…Rachel, Kirsty and I are going to Future Music Festival in Brisbane on Saturday so that will be fun.  There is a pretty awesome lineup… :)
