a land down under

Today was a fun filled day. I went running this morning with one of my flatmates Maggie, she is a sweetheart! I had fun running with her. I then headed out to the store to pick up a few items I didn't think to get when I was there last. Walking back I thought I would die of heat stroke! I was wearing blue jeans but it was soooo hot! I was carring a bunch of groceries and trying to drink my Bundaburg Gingerbeer, (that was for you mum). The accent here still gets me, I love it. I then decided to take the advice of another flatmate Vina, and head to the beach. Millaloo beach, which I have to say was worth the hassle of the bus. I decided I could die right when I saw the beach! It was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen! It absolutely took my breath away! I walked in the water, it was colder than I thought it would be, and then sat down and read my book for awhile. Don't worry I put on sunscreen. I have been really good about that. I almost finished my book at the beach but finished it later tonight, its called, "The boy next door" I am now letting one of the Chineese boys here borrow it, he said he will read it with a dictionary. They think some of the words are sooooo funny, and they pronounce them weird, like scrumptious, or scrumshulessent (thats a made up word), they ask me how to spell everything, I guess its good because I stink at spelling. haha and I taught them - totally wicked awesome- they love that! Anyway its been fun, we teach each other card games and try each others food! Its been quite the experience. I am excited for school to start I only have class Mon-Wed, 3 hours monday, 7 hours tues and 3 hours wed. Good times, starting monday at 1 and tues and Wed at 9. Well I guess I should head to bed. This is the first night I haven't been dead tired by 10:30. they have cool cocoa called Milo over here its like a health chocolate drink. I love it! I had a custard apple tonight as well, ohhh so good. Its not as good as I remember but it is still delish. well catch ya lata
