I Just Might Just...

I've got this beat stuck in my head from Between the Lines, by Atmosphere. It grooves so well.

I've been making friends here. That's nice, right? I'm happy about it and it's paying off! Last night I went over to one of my new friend's house--Emma--and cooked for her and nine of her friends! I made Italian stuffed peppers (which I decided wasn't anything to write home about) and, after learning that Emma was allergic to mushrooms, opted for a tomato-basil risotto as opposed to the mushroom risotto I had originally planned. The risotto was incredible and definitely made it into my recipe book. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of it. What was I thinking?? Through the night, I had a wonderful time, and not just because I got to cook heaps of delicious food for heaps of new people. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and spent several hours after dinner getting to know some new blokes--Maca, Pitsy, and Coya. I'm sure those aren't their real names, but it's how I was introduced to them and what I rolled with. They called me "Springfield" all night. "Springfield? Seriously? Like the Simpsons?"

Earlier this week I devastated a girl when I told her that Springfield was nothing like how it's portrayed in the Simpsons. No tire fire. No nuclear power plant. No yellow people. No Quik-E-Mart. No Krusty-Burger.

Last night, I was introduced to the first bit of Australian music that I REALLY enjoyed. Check it out. It's definitely worth your time.

I had my first class this morning--fundamental movements of PE--which I was admittedly nervous about. However, the class was great and I found everything really interesting. I had been worried that after a two month hiatus from learning, I'd be out of step and it would be hard for me to get back into the university groove. But no! I was a sponge and absolutely loved learning, which was odd, but enjoyable. I can only hope my zeal for learning sustains longer than just one class.



It's rainy here, which is nice. It keeps things cool.

I drink a lot of ice water here.

That is all.

Cheers!
