Brissie and Whitehouse party and beyond.

Where to start?? Well today signalled the start of week 4. So we have been in class for 4 weeks already. Time flys when you are having fun. School is quite busy amd shiv and I are living in our second home ( the library). The library mmakes me angry because there are no bathrooms or water fountains on the second floor ( no water fountains IN the library).
But other than that, life is good. I find that my program has a really positive vibe to it. Its hard to explain. I feel that the education system in Canada is constantly trying to test you, to make sure that you can tough it out, make he cut and stay in the program. Here i find they are a little bit more "coachy" if that makes sense. And i feel that the professors want you to do well, and suceed. its a strange vibe. I'll let you knwo if i still feel the same in week 10.
On the 23rd ( i think) of May, there was this Party called White house party. It ended up being really cool. Every one had to wear white, the event was fully licenced and there was lots of food and good music. I was really happy with the whole event and I was super happy we didnt get on the buses to Surfers, because that meant I could be in my bed by a reasonable time.
The next day we lounged around till mid day then got on the Translink Queensland rail express train to Brisbane! (Brissie)
Other wierd Aussie Short forms
schoolies, brissie, lollie, sunnies, bullies (for bull sharks!), toastie, and the list goes on and on. I will keep adding more as I come across more.

But back to the post. The train ride was lovely, and it was so nice to see different parts of Robina and a bit of queensland. we only got a little glimpse of surrounding towns, but once we get more time, it would be great to go exploring the state. Brissie was awesome. Its a proper city, big buildings, shops, shops and more shops, and things were a bit cheaper than in Robina, so we were quite suprised. We walked around, took some pics, ate at Krispy Kremes and bought 2 back packs. We have finally relegated our selves to student life.

A good day all round. Got home, ordered the 3 for 25 deal from dominos and chilled out.
