I woke up to the sound of Jayme rummaging around the apartment this morning, so I decided I should get up and join her. Come to find out she walked down the block to the mini mart and got us some bananas and granola bars=) So we enjoyed our mini breakfast and decided to go for a run. By this time is was around 9:30am and it was warm. I was sweating my butt off but it felt soo good to get outside and exercise=) Afterward walked the long way home to sight see and figure out what was surrounding our neighborhood. Turns out there is two strip clubs down one block to the right of our apartment building (funny)…and after our walk we decided we’re kind of in the ghetto.
Anyway, we showered and waited for Lynda to call. Lynda did ring us a little after 11 and she took us out shopping for groceries and necessities we needed for our apartment. After what seemed like the longest day of shopping ever, Jayme and I returned home with our jazzy new things and got situated. Later Jayme and I took a little adventure-aka wondered around to get familiar with our new town…we found Target and the mall and at the time that seemed like all that mattered;) Then stopped into McDonalds to try and use their free internet for a bit and failed miserably. We ended up going right around 5pm (when everyone gets off work) and there were too many people in there and the connection was soooooooo slow, so we ditched and went back to our place to make some grub.
After making a delicious meal at home in our apartment, Lynda and her two girls stopped by to drop off the blow dryer and straightener they were letting us borrow for the next three months. While visiting with them we discovered 3 things: 1) Jayme and I had our clocks set a half hour behind and would have totally been late for work the next day had Lynda not mentioned that Adelaide was a half hour difference from Brisbane. 2) The Super Bowl is on Monday at like ten in the morning next week and 3) We think Australians have sweet ascents but they feel the same about how we talk…interesting? I thought so=) Anyway, gotta get some sleep big first day at the brand new Australian internship tomorrow!
Cheers,
Shar
