Things that have been major players in my life lately:
A) The fire alarms--go off CONSTANTLY here. I'm not sure if people pull them or they're just faulty. Who knows, there may actually be a fire every now and again. But in the month of March it has gone off about 4 times. We've all been asleep, or about to fall asleep, so me and my roommates just stay in our room and wait it out. We figure if we get really hot, or someone comes knocking on our door, we'll know what's really going on. I feel worse for the fire fighters, who need to travel up our massive hill every time some idiot pulls the alarm.
B) The coffee-- I am addicted. Gloria Jean's is more addicting than Starbucks, which I never thought would happen. My friend, Emily and I, can easily convince each other to go down the massive hill for a cup at any time. It's been a major hole in my pocket, and the juice head who makes my drinks has started to recognize me. In other words, I'm going to tweak out once I get home and have no Gloria Jean's to run to. On another coffee note, in one of my classes we're making coffee's and will soon be tested over them. Today, I made a latte and cappucino! They were both very good, but I was wired after class.
C) Vent sessions with the tied down girls-- There are so many girls here with boyfriends, it's honestly surprising! But it's great because we all go through the same dilemma's with our men. So we all have a blast talking about the problems and working them out with each other. It's honestly such a relief! Not to any discredit to any of the boyfriends (including Ryan), but it's so relaxing to just complain about you guys sometimes =]
Overall, I miss everybody back home...tons. I honestly can't wait to get back, but things are so hectic here that I don't have time to think about it (which is probably a good thing). I'm taking a break from a major project to write this post, and I have to finish two more by the end of the week. Then I'm off to Broken Hill (which I'll for sure post more about later) to do my Famil Tour. But we're all down to about 4 weeks here, so I want to soak up as much of it as possible!
Miss everyone at home, and the food is still awful (but getting better at s
