Things are going well, the last couple days have been so crazy, but so fun! It was my friend Zoe's birthday and we had a party for her at my friend's flat last Wednesday which was really fun.
Thursday was pretty cool, there was a meteor shower at 2am. So a bunch of people were hanging out and we walked halfway to the city. Then went to this hill that's near our house and a ton of people were there laying on blankets and we all watched the meteor shower (I actually only saw one, I think). We stayed there for a pretty long time then came home and made hot chocolate and hung out till 5 am. A bunch of people got together in the morning and made french toast breakfast with real canadian maple syrup [which everyone loves so maybe someone should send me some ;) ].
Then it was Alex's birthday, and we had a birthday weekend for her. So fun. We did this whole spa day for her (I love having a skill where I can do these sorta things for my friends). Everything was a surprise, I did her hair and her nails and Jasmine did her make-up. We also rounded up a bunch of dresses from some of the girls here so that she could have a bunch of options. There's nothing like wearing a new dress on your birthday. The theme was black white and pink, and she was so surprised and loved it. We went to Max Brenner's, which is this chocolate restaurant thing, it's friggen sweet. We were going to go to karaoke, but the karaoke place ended up being super lame so a bunch of people went out dancing, and me and one of my friend's didn't want to go so we ended up walking home. Which was also fun. The next day we had a big surprise party for her. Me and Jasmine made her the sweetest cake in the whole world, it took us like 3 hours. Again, everything was black, white and pink. She was so surprised and super happy!! That was Friday and Saturday. There were a bunch of English guys here that she knew from home so they hung out with us all week-end.
Sunday was church, as per usual, and it was amazing, as per usual, but it was exceptionally amazing this week. woohoo!
We had a long weekend because it was ANZAC day (which is like remembrance day) so we went to the beach all day on monday, and I was going to learn to surf, but conditions were too crazy and the lifeguard yelled at us! haha!
Tuesday I had class then went out with a friend and WROTE MY FIRST SONG!!!!!! Sarah is amazing, she really really helped so much. I asked her to teach me stuff about song writing and she was just like okay, let's write a song, so we DID!! woohoo!!! I love her!
Wednesday I spent the whole morning cleaning my flat for inspection and dancing like an idiot (for you Jen and Mady), which my roommate got on tape so that may surface on youtube sometime (cross your fingers it doesn't). Then we went to the beach and got super lost, which was hilarious. Finally, we made it and I got my first real surfing lesson! woohoo! I'm super sucky, but that's to be expected, and it was really cold. The water was warm but being wet just on the beach was horrible. But the beach was amazing, there was like no one there except us and it was so chill, the sun was out and the waves were so cool. I could have just sat there and watched the surfers all day, but I got to try it which was way better anyways. Luis was teaching me, it was so sweet, I really tried to get up but it was kinda scary. Thank the Lord for my rash guard shirt, I would have died of frost bite, and my whole stomach would have been scratched up. Next time I'll get up for sure (cross your fingers). Then my friend David came by and we stole other one of my friend's guitar's and worked on my song in the stairwell, which was pretty cool, good acoustics down there! He's the man!!!!!!!! =)
Anyways, that was a pretty crazy week. Super awesome, busy and tiring. I'm stoked on life, writing a song, meeting crazy Brits, surfing, meteor shower, staying up late, breakfast dates.... freaking damn. =)
