Beef Pies at Midnight

Welp another weekend has passed in the Land Down Under. That means another seven days I have spent here in Australia and seven days less that I have left here :( But it was a weekend well spent! On Thursday night we all went out to dinner at a restaurant down the street from us called Mermaid Tavern with some friends with school. It was nice to eat out with friends and it was nice restaurant with a cool atmosphere. Afterwards after a failed attempt to go putt putting we all just went to our apartment and hung out. Friday Matt, Jen and I headed to the beach even though it was slightly cloudy still (no news there). After observing some sea gulls yelling at each other on the sand and creating a scenario as to why the sea gulls were being far from polite to each other, Jen and I decided to go play in the ocean. So there we were splashing around and getting knocked down by the waves like rag dolls and Jen all of a sudden freaked out. A leaf had touched her leg and she thought it was another blue bottle jellyfish. Silly girl was mistaken. Five minutes passed. All of sudden I see the little Blonde from Burbank cringe in pain. An actual blue bottle had stung her. For the 2nd time this trip. So least to say, that was the end of our lovely play time in the ocean.

Saturday we all went out to dinner at Hogsbreath Steak house which is a restaurant where they prepare the steak for 18 hours to get it super super tender. It was delicious and one of the best steaks I have ever had, no wonder they're famous for their steaks!

Sunday was a lot of fun because we all went to the water park Wet N Wild which is nothing compared to Water World in Colorado but it was a good attempt :) It wasn't a very sunny day but it didn't rain so we couldn't complain too much! Overall it was a nice fun weekend that sadly had to end with studying for my 2nd spanish test but I can't forget that I'm supposed to be here studying!!

Yesterday after completing our spanish test that we had thought was at 10am not 11 Jen and I went home to nap and try to make up for the loss of sleep from the night before due to studying and talking ( more talking than actual studying but oh well). When we woke up no one was really hungry for dinner so we went straight to the Putt putting place at a 2nd attempt to complete this fun activity we have been striving for. I didn't start out so hot on this fun pass time but I finished 2nd overall which was decent to me considering I was going up against Tiger Woods aka Jennifer Bowker (minus the scandals). Once we got home at 11:30, we were all famished so we tried the Australian favorite, beef pie. There's nothing like enjoying a beef pie, white rice (remember I live with 2 Asians) and watching the Oscars at midnight on a Monday night. Gotta love Australia!

This weekend I'm suuuuper excited for because Harrison from APU is coming to visit because he's studying in Sydney this semester. It'll be nice to see a friendly face from home and I can't wait to catch up! Nanae's friend from home is coming on Friday too to stay with us for the wekend and Jen's sister is coming to stay with us for a whole week on Sunday not to mention 2 other people from California that are travelling through Australia and need a place to stay on Sunday and Monday. So to say the least, it's going to be a full house at Apartment 2204!! G'day mates!!
