Round 2!

And I'm back.

I guess I've been back for a couple weeks, but it's been pretty uneventful.

I'm now living in a house with 3 other people so far: a couple that owns the place rents out three rooms to me, a guy Adrian, and one empty right now. They're really nice people, but I'm not used to living this way! For years I've been living in 3 or less rooms. In Toronto I had my bedroom, bathroom and kitchen to wander about in. Last year, just one big room and a bathroom. Now I've got a dining room, living room, kitchen, tv area, my room and the bathroom. Whoa.

You might not think it, but this different living situation means I have to learn new social skills. I've had roommates before, good and bad, strangers and friends, but given the living situation, usually we kept to ourselves, but the bedroom door open meant you're welcome to keep me company! Not so much the case here. So, I'm learning slowly. Funny how such a little thing can be a hidden learning experience.

I won't show the house, but here's my very own new room!




It's a pretty good location - 10 minutes to shops and bus stop, I could walk to uni buuuuut, the sun may prove to be a bit too hot for a 30 minute walk.

Speaking of which, classes start next week. I've only got 2 days again this semester, both start at 9am, one finishes at 3, the other at 6. Not too shabby! I'm not really excited for classes, but I am excited to get doing stuff again. I've got big plans for this year (as I believe I mentioned in the previous post), and it'll all be starting soon.

Also. I went to Dreamworld for the first time yesterday. So fun. My stomach is still getting used to being thrown around but eventually i will do every ride. Annd they've got a Tiger world part, which really inspired me (as I have been a million times) to volunteer in Africa. But that's not for awhile, so lets stick to down unda!

Okay, as I said, nothing exciting has happened yet. But in case you missed my face, I messed around with my webcam this afternoon. :)






Haha, cheers.
