tim tams are amazing

so classes start tomorrow, fun stuff... i am actually quite excited about that. gotta pick out my tutorial times and sign up for field trips - joy! the past week doesn't seem to have gone by as fast as i expected now that i ave people to hang out with but i'm not really complaining, we've been having a good time

julie and amy introduced my to black books and little britain, two rather hilarious british comedy shows that are mostly skits and that was fun. julie also introduced me and the other americans/canadian to tim tams with hot chocolate. tim tams are little chocolate covered bisckets with soft chocolate in between the cookie bits, and if you bite off both ends of it you can use it as a straw in hot chocolate and its the most amazing thing EVER haha. it gets all mushy and melty and delicious. i may have to send a pack home... mwahahaha.

we've also been watching a lot of scrubs, i love that show. we'll all just pile on my bed and watch 3 or 4 episodes at a time, we've gotten through most of season 4 and a bit of 5 :)

i'm developing a habit of sitting at diner after everyone is finished and just talking to a large group. its usually me julie alysha amy mat brit dan mike xavier and mybe a few others but for 3 nights in a row now we've been just about the last people to leave the cafeteria. we usually end up comparing america and australia if only because me mike dan and alysha will start talking about something like food (recess peanut butter cups, for example) and the aussies at the table will be like... hu? its really helping me learn a lot more about oz :) i like it and hope it continues.

yesterday we decided to go see the aquarium in town, its reeeeaaally big and had some awesome fishies in it :) pictures!






we saw them feed all the various tanks after lunch, it was cool.

then last night we went out clubbing - my first time, and most of the other girl's first time as well. its a little strange being 21 because i didn't really do this stuff at home so i'm on the same level as the 18-year-olds here. but we had a good time, went to this place called bullys, got there at like 10 and it was pretty empty until about 11 but once we started dancing it was cool. the music could have been better, i think next time we're going to go to a place with live music instead of a DJ. we stayed out till about 12:30 and then got out of there. a guy was trying to pick up amy, he was an awful dancer but seemed all right - we just laughed at him. his fried billy started dancing with alysha but moved on to me when she shut him down. these guys are a little strange, trying to have a conversation by screaming into your ear over the pounding music - not just a few words, trying to tell you their life story. i would have liked it if he just danced instead. luckily we left soon after billy started talking to me so yay for escape. we walked over to the bus station and made it home by 2. bus drivers here are cranky, and the bus was completely full.

dunno whats going on today, probably just chillin, maybe taking a walk around campus with alysha. we shall seeeee.
