I slept in a little bit this morning. I was really tired and
everything. I knew that I would have a long day. It felt so good to sleep in my own place. To know that I could come back there and I was sleeping in "my" room felt great! I really needed to get some
food and stuff, so I texted Emily about

going to the Queen Street Mall. I got
ready and met her at the ferry. We went to the mall. It wasn’t that bad looking
of a day. It was actually kind of nice, with very few clouds. We went to the
Reject Shop and I got a few things. I got some hangers and a trash can along
with some other stuff. Emily got some stuff too. One of the things she got was
detergent. When we were walking to another store, her bag broke and she had to
find another one. Luckily the people in the Australian Geographic store gave
her one for a small donation. That store was cool though. They had a bunch of
Australian animal stuff and this koala and alligator that laughed and moved
around on the floor. It was so funny. We left that store and went to the fabric
store to get some stuff for the toga party. Emily and Mandy and them had gotten
some stuff earlier in the week. I got some stuff. There were people everywhere
getting toga stuff. Haha. I don’t know if I will look as legit as I did when we
went to the ESA toga party, but it should still be fun. We left the mall for
the ferry and it was raining so badly outside! The wind was whipping the rain
sideways! Ugh. We saw this place called Irish Murphy’s and decided to go inside
to see what they had there. It is like this pub place. Mandy had wanted to go
there some time earlier on, but we never did. It was actually dry inside so we
decided to stay a while. We looked at the menu and decided to split wedges.
This has become a recurring theme. I feel like wedges, sour cream, and sweet
chili is a big thing around here too. It’s really good though. Emily wanted to
see if she could get a job maybe there. The waitress girl said to just bring a
resume. I really want to get a job now. Now that I am paying rent and stuff it
would be great to have a little extra money each week. Maybe not at that pub,
but somewhere bagging groceries or something. Haha. It was not raining that
much outside so we left. By the time we had gotten to the stoplight and were
waiting on it to change, it had started to pour again! We finally ran to
the
ferry and we were soaked! That is just my luck! Haha. We rode the ferry back to
Toowong and went to Emily’s house. I left some of my stuff there because I was
going to go do some grocery shopping. I left for Coles. Coles is different than
our Kohl’s. Haha. Coles is a grocery store and is really big around here. They
are everywhere. There is one in Toowong Village, which isn’t too far away from
Emily and my house. I got a cart and walked each isle. I didn’t really know
where everything was and there were so many different brands and stuff. It felt
weird. I finally found most everything on my list I had made and went to the
register. I wanted to spend right at a certain amount and I hit it right on the
nose! So proud. These groceries should last me for a while. I had a lot of
stuff to carry back. I pushed the buggy through the parking garage you have to
cut through to get to Toowong Village. When I got to the end, I had to put some
of the stuff in the backpack I carried with me, and the rest I carried on my
arms. I got back to Emily’s and got the rest of my stuff. She has this rollie
thing that you can put all your stuff in and just roll it back. She let me use
it so that I could get my stuff back to my place easier. It really was easier.
I felt like a Chinese lady at the flea market, but it was a lot easier than
just carrying it all back by hand.
When I got back home, I put all of my stuff
away and then looked through all of my stuff I had gotten from QUT. I have a
bunch of papers and magazines and pamphlets that I just stuffed in my bag and
never looked at, so this was the time to look through some of it. Angie and
Javier got home and I talked to them for a little bit. They had gotten the TV
and some other stuff for the apartment. It is starting to feel homier. I texted
Emily, because we were supposed to be going to Urbanest later. It is Aaron from
Gold Coast’s birthday!!! Everyone was going out and stuff. I got ready and made
a sandwich. After I ate, I left for Emily’s. We hung out at her place for a bit
and then left for the ferry. We got off at the South Bank stop and walked to
Urbanest. Everyone was already hanging out downstairs, so we joined in.
everyone was having fun and everything. We went outside for a bit too. I met some
more people. I met this girl
from London, this girl from Holland, and some
others. Before I knew it, we were leaving. We left to go to the Exchange. We
all rode the bus this time, which is a lot quicker than walking. Haha. We had a
lot of fun at the Exchange dancing and making Aaron have a great birthday! We
left the Exchange and went across the street to the Victory. It is another club
place. We were all having fun and everything, but it got really hot inside. Me
and Emily went outside for some air. We were both ready to go, because we had a
long walk home from the city to Toowong and Auchenflower, so we left a little
early. It took a while but we finally got back to our neck of the woods. My
house is before Emily’s so I told her to text me when she got home. I walked up
to my place. I wish I already had the key to the door that just goes to my
room. It is kind of like my own private entrance. Angie said she would get me
the key soon. But I walked in the front door and laid in bed. Emily texted me
when she got home. It felt great to finally have my won place to go after a
night out. It felt a lot better than sleeping on a couch. Definitely.

Until next time,
