Oh dear, I have neglected my blog again. I needed my mum to remind me I hadn't written anything in a while.
The truth is, I also haven't done that much in the last week. I spent Monday and Sunday studying, running errands and making assignments. Sunday we had another fun dinner with the house (French Laura cooked this time)and Monday I had dinner with the people that were planning to go to the great barrier reef for springbreak.
Tuesday was a long day of class after which I went home to have dinner with the rest of the people in the house before I would go back to the uni, but this time for the coolest kind of party: A silent disco.
I had been to one before during a liberation festival in Rotterdam. I already loved it then and this one was even so much cooler. Two dj's were competing to have as many headphonewearing dancers switched to their channel. The wonderful thing is that you can decide how loud you want the music, which music you want to listen to or just take of the headphones when you want to talk to someone. You see people dancing to different rhythms and you would quickly change the channel when people started shouting because of an awesome song that came on. The finale of the party was everyone that was left in one big slow motion cancan line on the tunes of 'New York'.
Wednesday and Thursday were filled with more classes, reading an amazing book outside in the sun and writing a news release for a mark on a made up company with Hugh Jackman as a spokesperson (later a Norwegian girl I also have another class with was shocked when I told her he was an actor, she had no clue who he was and had just thought he was a member of the made up company HabbaDabbaDo).
Friday I started with a groupmeeting and then continued to a birthdaybreakfast in a chocolate cafe. One chocolate frappe and an amazing but oh so filling brownie later, we went to Manly beach. The ferry ride between the bridge and the operahouse was once again amazing. Unfortunately the weather wasn't very good and it even started raining a bit (it is not always sunny here) but Alexandre the birthdaygirl was determined to go swimming. I went home for dinner and actually we had a party from our French housemate who had her birthday on Wednesday (other alternatives were going out with Alexandra or the sciencerevue) but we ended up just talking, too lazy to go anywhere. In the end some friends dropped by as they lost interest in the bars in Oxford street.
When they left around two I went to my room to skype with Pedro. In Australian time it was our first anniversary and I was looking forward to see him and unpack the parcel that had been burning a hole in my bag since I picked it up from the post office that morning. One year has flown by while so much has happened. As far as I'm concerned there will be many more years, but now I do have the cutest Teddy to hug while I wait for him to arrive in Sydney.
