So, the house that I looked at definitely didn’t work out. I
got an email saying that they were sorry, but that property was already taken,
most likely by Rosannah. Oh well. You can only try. I searched a little more
for houses and went to see another place that I had set up an inspection with
the
day before. It is in a suburb called Annerly, not too too far away from the
school. Mandy came with me and we rode the bus to the place. We had a little
bit of trouble finding it and I thought I was going to be really late, but with
some help from Google Maps, we finally found our way there. The man was kind of
friendly, but not very sociable. He showed me the room and it was okay. The
house was kind of dirty too. I feel like people here just don’t care about
stuff. The house was soooooo hot, because there wasn’t any air conditioning or
anything. I was sweating so much. Gross. The washer for your clothes was
downstairs under the house, like in the dirt and really gross. You even had to
pay to do it! All in all, I don’t think that was the one. It was the right
price, but not the right fit. We thanked the man and started our way back. We
stopped and ate at Hungry Jacks before we got on the bus. Hungry Jacks is the
exact same thing as burger king in the states. That’s so funny. The only thing
is, it isn’t as economical. You don’t even get fries and a drink included.
That’s extra! But it was the first place that I had seen with a soda dispenser
for refills. That’s a plus. Most places don’t give you free refills. Crazy! We
rode back to South Bank and Urbanest. I looked for more houses and found some
really cool looking studio apartments. They included like the kitchen and
everything! It was just the right price too. I called a bunch of places and
left them messages. I hope they call me back. Kyron got back from work and we
hung out with some of his roommates and talked for a while. They were having
some kind of
speed dating thing downstairs here. It was like a “get to know each
other” type thing though. One of Kyron’s apartment mates, Josh, who works at
Urbanest, was helping run it. We never went though. Mandy texted us and said
that they were going out into the city to a club. We heard a lot of people were
going. Me and Kyron went downstairs with our Aussie friend Aaron from the Gold
Coast. He was hanging out with his roommate who is from Virginia. There were
also some girls from Canada and a girl from Arizona. They were going out too.
So me and Kyron got ready and went downstairs to where everyone was hanging
out. Everyone was chilling everywhere and having fun. We left, shortly after
going downstairs, with our big group of people. We walked all the way there. We
probably should have taken a bus, but someone decided it would be a good idea
to walk there. The girl from Arizona even had heels on, bless her heart. We
finally got there and IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! We were dancing everywhere and it was
amazing! Me and the girl from Tasmania, Lilo, had a circle at one point and
were dancing in the middle and everyone was cheering. Haha. It was great. After
a long night of dancing, I was sweating so much and just ready to go to bed. We
walked all the way back to Urbanest. It felt like it took forever. We got split
up from the rest of the group, with half going one way and half going another.
Emily, who was staying with Mandy because the buses don’t run that late and she
couldn’t just walk back to where she lives in Toowong, had to wait on Mandy and
their group to get back, so we waited with her. We went upstairs and I crashed.
It had been a long day, but so much fun!
Until next time,
QueensLandon
