once again the weekend was a blur. i really need to start doing some homework. its so hard to stay on top of things because you only have three assignments a semester. so different from the US. i will just do it the night before. hahaa it has work for the past five semesters at chapman.
on saturday i went to go see a play called "Between the devil and the deep blue sea". it was such a great play and i was lucky i got tickets because we saw it the last night it was playing in Perth. It was a british satire play from the 1927s and it incorporated silent movie clips with mimes acting in front of it. It was absolutely like nothing i had seen before.
on sunday i went to Cottesloe beach. It was the first time i have been to the beach since arriving in Perth, and boy did i pick a great first beach to go to. apparently this is the favorite beach of the late heath ledger. but we just so happened to go during the sculpture festival, so there were tons of different sculptures all along the beach. my friend dano and i shared a bottle of whiskey :( and we went back to joondalap because they had a music festival going on and Kings of Leon were playing. so we sat on the hill right outside of the fence and got to hear kings perfectly and for free. the stars were out, the whiskey had caught up to me and i was lucky enough to get to yak in the bushes while hearing the kings play "use somebody". i really am a lucky lady
so random but one day i met rachel after work in the city. rachel has a real grown up job helping process aid for victims of the victoria bush fires. so we went to this real swanky bar called the george. i was the last to order and i asked the man for a guinness, which just so happens to be one of my favorite beers. he made such a big deal about it. he was laughing and shaking his head. i asked him what was so funny because he was embarrassing me. he said he has never had a woman order one before. i started to feel a little trashy. so i was drinking my beer and a few guys came up to me and made comments about how impressed they were that i was drinking guinness. two guys even clanked glasses with me and cheers me. i tanked it and learned not to order guinness in perth.
i had my first shift at gloria jeans. its a pretty standard coffee shop. i get confused sometimes because the money is different and they dont have pennys. they just round up or down. its the weirdest thing but they dont sell just plain drip coffee. you can only get latte/espresso like drinks. so weird. and they dont have half and half.
