Its amazing how fast you get sick of res food. I mean, I've only been here about a month now and I already caved and bought a pot/pan and other random kitchen goodies (props to 'Coles'- the Australian version of the Superstore).

I got everything fairly cheap, which was a nice change of pace for my wallet. I thought for sure I'd be able to survive without buying things that I'll just have to throw away when I leave....but I quickly realized how impossible that would be.

My friends and I have made 2 meals in my dirrrrrrty kitchen...grilled Cheese (for the Americans in the house!) and pasta (because its cheap and easy). So I'd say I already got my money's worth for the dishes.

I think I'll donate all my random stuff to the MRS office when I leave...cause when you think about it, I'll have a phone, alarm clock, desk light, pots/pans/dishes, and other kinds of stuff that I can't pack away in my suitcase....better yet, I'm going to try and sell it! muahaha. However, it might be hard considering when I leave, it will be their version of summer here and most people don't live in the res buildings anymore...but we'll see....

I finished another week of class...thank god. I'm finally getiing into some sort of a routine here, minus the sleeping patterns....that is still problematic for me. This week was good, I feel a lot more comfortable in my classes and today I even particpated in tutorials (mind you, it was a discussion about the broadway play 'Wicked', so I thought I'd share my opinion).

Tonighti is pub night, so I'm heading to the Nott in about an hour. I don't think I'm going to stay long though because we're getting up super early to go to the beach! Its supposed to be really nice out tomorrow so hopefully I'll darken my tan by at least two shades lol

Well, thats all for now! Keep ya posted!
