KOALA YUMMIES!

sooo i actually made it to the land down under, with a surprisingly incredible experience! didn't lose anything and had my life somewhat together through the whole traveling experience. surprising i know! the plane ride was pretty nice. the plane itself, LEGIT! the first thing i saw when we walked in the plane was a bar with bar stools and neon lights with techno music playing. i literally thought i was walking into a club. soo cool then there was a tv in front of every seat and i watched movies and tv the whole time, enjoyed my two kids meals and my free mixed drinks =] not too shabby for a 14 hour plane ride. i guess it was worth the $1200.... we arrived in brisbane at 6am friday morning and met natalie, our SCU rep, at the gate and had to wait for the rest of our group to fly in before our 3 hour bus ride. i called the mom from the airport and used my australian money for the first time to by a muffin =] our bus ride wasn't too bad pretty nice scenery along the gold coast and got into lismore around 3pm dropped our bags off in our rooms and headed off the the stores to by some food, sheets, a fan because its hot and sweaty as freaking balls, and KOALA YUMMIES!!! i hope you all remember what im talking about because i truly believe that they are and will be the highlight of my trip. delicious koala shaped graham crackers filled with milk chocolate YUUUUUUP. on the way back to the dorms we saw a koala in one of the trees on campus, so freaking cute!got back to the dorms, and got ready for a bbq on the deck of our dorm hall that has an AMAZING view. we had these hot dog like things, more like sausages on bread rather than on buns, decent. it was fun everyone was mingling and drinking and our RAs filled us in on what will be happening the next couple days. its amazing here and everyone is soo nice. i feel like everyday is a party, which i might be ok with. haha my room is not the nicest but i feel like i'm a little spoiled at CLU when it comes to dorm quality. i have killed 4 spiders already, 1 being on my bed, and i took a shower with 2. i may not survive. i have 2 australian roommates so far, sam and claire and we're still waiting for the three others to show up sometime this weekend. i'm excited to see who else we live with! i'm exhausted but it has been a very successful and extremely fun first day and travel day.


loooove.
