Last Saturday, as Gesa and Dorien still were here (they flew home last Tuesday evening) we drove to the Gold Coast, this time to Southport. It was very nice weather, very windy, but I still managed to tan my legs a bit. 😉 At the end of the day we also bought an ice cream at ‘Cold Rock’. We could choose what sort of ice cream we’d like (I chose strawberry) and then we could choose from a large range of different sweets which we wanted to have mixed through it. So I ended up having strawberry ice cream with fudge and strawberry Freddos, yumm!

Last Monday I met up with a friend from Germany who I had met at the airport as we got driven to our host families by the same chauffeur. We went to the movies (we watched Step Up 3D) and after that we went to a nice restaurant called ‘Fasta Pasta’. On Tuesday and on Friday I went to school as usual, which was very exciting, as always. But at least we had Wednesday off because it was a public holiday and on Thursday I went to ‘Dreamworld’ with my Physics class. The rides we went on were great, we just had to queue for ages but the rides were only  a few seconds short.. But at least they were very good. On Thursday evening I was invited to the onstage production of ‘High School Musical’ which was performed by the school which Jasmine’s nieces and nephews go to. I really, really liked it, the actors were all very talented!

And today it’s Saturday and don’t have any big plans.. Jasmine and I went shopping this morning and I gave in my resume to the manager at ‘Red Rooster’, in hope to get a part-time job there so that I can afford all my shopping habits.. And in about two hours I’m going to start making Focaccia which we’ll be eating with some salad for dinner tonight. And then tomorrow Jasmine is taking Lisa, Nora and me to ‘Movie World’ to validate our VIP-tickets. With those tickets we’ll be able to go to the three theme parks ‘Sea World’, ‘Movie World’ and ‘Wet ‘n’ Wild’ for a whole year for only $75! On Monday all the international students are going to ‘Lone Pine’. That’s a zoo full of koalas and kangaroos, apparently the largest place with the most koalas in the whole world! We’ll also be able to get photos taken of us holding a koala.

By the way, Scott has given me a nickname now aswell: SKIPPY, apparently because I skip around the whole time..
