This afternoon I look the bus to the local mall

Americas Myers?

My shop!

My Victorias Secret purchases! Big sale yay!

Why does everything in America need to be different? Why cant their yoghurt open the right way up?

My friend tried to order spaghetti Bolognese the other day. Apparently over here bolognese is called meat sauce.

Tonights dinner. Burritos from The Fighting Burrito. Soooo good!

The lake was even more frozen today!

This one is for Dom. Solar powered trash compactor?

Im developing a more normal sleeping pattern which is great! Yesterday I slept for 6 hours during the day then went to bed at 9pm sleeping till 6am. It is a little bit colder today but it is warming up for the week, reaching a top of 9 degrees Celsius on Thursday.

When I woke up the morning I decided to go for a walk around uni which was nice but very very very cold, discovering later that it was -8 degrees Celsius. I will put some photos up a bit later.

Ran into my friend from Melbourne on my way back to my room and headed into college town to grab breakfast at Subway.

It is New Years day public holiday here today so not much is open but I am excited to check out the gym tomorrow, it's free as a student and has soooooo many classes.
