I slept pretty well throughout the night. I took some cold
medicine before going to bed and it was nighttime, so I guess it helped some. I
woke up and Skyped my parents. My sister was there this time. It was really
good to see them all. Kyron went to church and some other places, while I
stayed at
Urbanest and looked for more houses. I ate some crackers, which I was
so glad that my mom told me to pack! Haha. I talked to Haley on Facebook
messaging. ESA had gone to St. Jude’s hospital in Memphis. Haley told Allison
hi for me! Haley got RM in Green Quad! I’m so excited for her! I really hope
that I get the PC position in Preston!! I’m kind of worried that I haven’t
heard anything back from anyone. I emailed our RHD and the woman who emailed me
about offering me a position in Bates for the spring semester, and asked them
if there was any communication being sent out. I really hope they email back
and maybe with good news! Mandy texted me and told me to meet her and Kyron at
the Queen Street Mall. I got
dressed and got on the bus. I was a little
confused about the bus situation, but thought I had it all handled. Once I
started seeing signs for Gold Coast and that we were going far out from the
city, I knew I wasn’t going the right way! Ahhh! I was scared it would just
keep going and going! I didn’t even know that there was a stop button on the
bus if you need to get off at a stop. We passed like 2 stops and I just thought
the bus driver didn’t stop because there was no one there. He also didn’t stop
because no one had pressed the button. Haha! I had to call Kyron and ask and
eventually I rode my way back into the city and met them at the Cultural
Center. We rode the ferry to this area called New Farm.
There were beautiful
city views again and the bridges and everything were wonderful. I took a lot of
pictures. We went to this place called Powerhouse. It is like a bar and
restaurant. There was a band playing on a big stage inside that apparently was
local and a big deal. They were really young and punk. There was also an art
gallery that we could go into. There were pictures and photo essays about
events that happened in Australia. They were like journalistic photos and such.
We rode the ferry back and Emily met us at back at South Bank. She told us about
her new place she got. She got the really nice one that she wanted. It wasn’t
the first one we looked at that was kind of dirty. She was actually in
competition with another guy for the room, but he wasn’t a student or anything
and the lady gave it to Emily and would show him another one of her rooms. We
ate at this place called Amici’s. It is an Italian restaurant and we got
pizzas. There was a possum near where we were eating and it climbed up these
poles beside the restaurant. The servers were feeding it. Their possums aren’t
nearly as ugly as ours are. They are gray and look fuzzy. Almost fuzzy enough
to want to pet! Also, some thing embarrassing happened. I got a nose bleed
right in the middle of the restaurant. It was outside and I went to the bathroom,
but I just don’t know. My body isn’t taking this change too well. I’ve always
gotten nose
bleeds since I was young, because apparently I have a blood vessel
exposed or something in my nose. I hope it doesn’t happen again. We left Emily
at the Ferry and Kyron and Mandy got strawberries and chocolate at this
chocolate place. It looked really good, but I just can’t be spending a lot of
money. We walked back to Urbanest and I went to bed early again.
Until next time,
QueensLandon
