I pet a Kangaroo, and a koala, and a wombat! They were awesome, and kangaroos are cute, so I now kinda feel bad for eating one. Although they are tasty. I went on a tour on Saturday where we went to a winery (at 930 in the morning) and then to a chocolate factory, then to the Caversham Wildlife park (where playing with all the animals happened), and the to the Aquarium (where we got to touch sea life and see sharks! It was a very good day, but I was super tired after. We got to feed kangaroos at the wildlife park, and they would hop after you for food, but not for very long, they are lazy. But it was exciting, I feel a little more like I am actually in Australia.
When I got home (and wanted to take a nap) I went and bought a huge bed (it's queen sized, which really s quite big) from a Canadian who is moving to Barbados. He tied it on to the roof of my roommates car for us with the small amount of rope we found (which was better than us almost using tape for rope) and we set off. Too bad we didn't tie the front of the mattress down so the wind pushed it up on the freeway so we had to open the sunroof and I had to hold it down until we got off the freeway, it was intense. After getting it home I went out to an art show where I met some of Perth's graffiti artists.
The night before I had gone to this other art show where a guy would give you a manicure (if you got there early enough to sign up) in exchange for a secret. It was cool, but we had to wait until 10 to get in for free. Plus I got to type on a type writer, which should come with directions, but that was cool.
Monday was the first day of Orientation with Australians, but nothing really exciting happened, but I did go buy sheets, I have really moved up in the world in terms of home comforts.
Yesterday I went to the beach for the first time, it was super nice. It was a little cloudy, but it gave some nice moments of it not being too hot. The water is pretty and the sand is so nice. It takes a while to get there, but it's worth it.
Today was the day all the clubs come out and try to convince you to join, I don't think i remember half of the places I signed up at, but we'll see. They also give you a lot of free stuff, most of which I will probably never use.
Sounds like it was busy, but I've spent a lot of time relaxing too, which is nice. And I joined the library, which is awesomely less than a 5 minute walk from my house, where they let you check out puzzles, which is fantastic, so I am now working on a Harry Potter puzzle.
