Friends :)

It has been a good week down under. The beginning of the week was pretty low key. I didn't do much, just sat around and relaxed. Tuesday morning I went to Somerset to observe some teachers. Tuesday afternoon was really fun. Me and 9 other people took a cab to Surfer's Paradise and got an hour of surf lessons. It was a lot of fun. I met some new people and I actually stood up for a few seconds on the board!!! Tuesday night I went to one of the clubs with the people I met surfing. There was a live band and it was a really good time.

Wednesday night I got a surprise. Around midnight someone knocked on my bedroom door. I opened it and was surprised to find that a new roommate had moved in. I didn't even here her!! Her name is Karesse. She is from Hawaii, but goes to school in Tacoma, Washington. We talked for a few minutes then both went to bed. Thursday I took her to Kmart to get some things. We also went to a grocery store so that we would have food to eat.

On Friday Karesse and I both slept in. We didn't do much during the day, she was still a little tired from the trip. Around 4 we got another roommate. Her name is Becca. She is from Colorado and goes to the same school as Karesse. We didn't do much after Becca got here. All the shops close around 5:30 so we didn't have time to get anything. Saturday we all went shopping again. We now all have everything we need, i think ;)

Saturday night we watched some movies on our TV that now works. We watched Never Been Kissed, X-Men, and part of Raising Helen. It was a good night hanging out with new friends :)

Both my new roommates are really nice. I think we will get along great!! We are now only waiting for one more roommate to show up. Hopefully he gets here soon!

Hope all is well!
