I woke up to it still being rainy outside. I thought
Australia was going to be beautiful, and although it has been, it really hasn’t
put its face on yet. There is the river cruise thing happening later on. It is
through the study abroad office. I don’t think I am going to go. It is too
rainy and nasty. Plus, I
don’t really want to spend the money. Angie texted me
about the place and said that another person was looking at the house and that
she would get back to me later on in the day. I repacked my suitcases, because
they were getting a little bit out of hand. I can’t wait to not live out of
suitcases and be able to have my own space. I feel bad for Kyron, because he
probably feels the same way. Their internet is weird at Urbanest and they can
only use like so many megabytes or whatever. Kyron and I have use up most of
his, so I am trying not to use any. I’ve turned my Wi-Fi off, but its getting
pretty boring, plus I can’t post anything or talk to my family all that much. I
was lying on Kyron’s bed when the room started to get pretty hot. The air
conditioning is pretty weird too because it will just like turn off every once
in a while. But this time, it was on and open, but not moving or anything. I
heard the handyman outside and I asked him what was wrong with it. He showed me
that by pressing this one button, you could make it move or make it stationary.
Dummy me. I called the guy from the Toowong house and he didn’t answer. I guess
he is still gone. I was going to try and just see that house before Angie
called about the other one. It is cheaper and still in the same area. He said
that he would be on holiday the last time that I called him. They say “holiday”
here instead of vacation. I did use just a little bit of Internet when I Skyped
my mom and dad. My dad also called my sister while we were on there. After I
was through talking to them, I turned my Wi-Fi off. There wasn’t much to do in
the room and I didn’t really know where I should go or if I should even leave
because I have Kyron’s card, so I did the most logical thing; I took a nap.
Afterwards, I took a shower and ate the rest of my Subway sub. Then I uploaded
pictures on my computer from the Gold Coast and everything. I typed up some of
my blogs. The way that I’ve
been doing it is just writing little blurbs of what
I did that day in like long lists and then typing them up later and
elaborating. You’re probably reading this a lot later than when it happed. (I
won’t spoil the ending) I’m behind on posting on the blog because things are
still a little crazy because I’m still not really settled yet. Kyron had texted
me and told me to bring Mandy his umbrella. I guess she was going on the River
Cruise too. I didn’t know that. I brought the umbrella down and all the people
that were going on the cruise were there. I would meet them later after the
cruse at the Exchange, which is the club place. That is where everyone on the
cruise is going afterwards. Emily is like the only one that didn’t go on the
River Cruise either. We would both just meet them at the Exchange. I went back
up to Kyron’s room and I was still waiting on the call from Angie about the
place. She didn’t call at 7:30 like she said she was going to, so I was really
nervous. I met Emily downstairs and we hung out with Tazzy and David, the guy
who works at the front desk. He is from America, but has lived like everywhere.
I kept looking at my phone, waiting on the call,
until finally she did! I got
up from the table and left the room. She said that they had chosen me! She said
though, that the girl that looked at it had offered more for the room and if I
could do that then I could get it. I did. At this point I am just ready to move
in and have my own place. We talked about a few other things and then I went
back to tell everyone. They were all really excited too. Angie would send me
her details later that night and I would transfer the money in the morning so
that I could move in right away. After hanging out some more, I went upstairs
and got ready to leave. I had tried to text Kyron to see if he was going to the
Exchange or not. He said at that point he didn’t know. Emily called him and he
said that yeah, he would go. I had his card, so it was difficult, because he
needed it to get in and I did too. If we both went out and then left, we could
get in. We met them at the Exchange and everyone had had a lot of fun on the
River Cruse. There were a lot of internationals there, obviously because they
all went on a Study Abroad function. It was really weird, because the Study Abroad
heads were drinking
at the bar along with others. Kind of awkward. Kyron left
just a little bit after we got there. He got his card, so I didn’t know really
how I was going to get back into his apartment at Urbanest. The Exchange was
kind of dead and the lights were too bright, but we danced a little. I was
going to leave a little bit early so that I could call Kyron before he went to
sleep and have him let me in, but he had texted me and told me that he was
going to sleep and no one was really ready to leave. We left the Exchange and
went to this place called Down Under Bar. It was kind of gross and hot and
nasty, but I guess it was kind of fun. Allie from Arizona, Emily, and I all
left before the others and walked back to Urbanest. I couldn’t get back into
Kyron’s room and Emily couldn’t get into Mandy’s room, where she was staying
the night. Emily had Mandy’s room key, but we had to wait until Mandy got back
so that we could let her into her room and Emily as well. Mandy got there and
we went up to her room. She was with David and since I couldn’t get into
Kyron’s David offered his couch for the night. Haha. I felt really bad though,
kind of like a burden. That is why I want my own place. I went to sleep. I
would wake up early before Kyron goes to work and get his card from him to get
back into his room.
Until next time,
QueensLandon
