Hi guys! So I am currently writing this on the morning of the 25 but due to ridiculous wifi God only knows when I will be able to post it! All is going well. We are semi settled into our two bed apartment, feels like we are on holiday but then it doesn’t cause we still have to go to school and uni so it is a bit weird! We are literally staying right across the road from the beach! Went for a super long walk along the path that goes all the way up beside the beach and it was lovely, have a huge blister on the back of my ankle cause I didn’t realise how far I had actually gone and then had to turn around and walk the same distance again……. I was wearing my runners and all but my footsie sock kept slipping down so by the end of it I was semi limping, trying not to aggravate it!
I have no college tomorrow so will either spend the day at the beach, the day at the pool or will attempt work. Out of all the options I think I know which one I will choose… Speaking of college OMG, there is “Irish” people everywhere! I came to Australia to meet australian(possibly a nice hot rich guy, so far no luck!) and instead I meet Irish people EVERYWHERE! I mean I am using the term “Irish” very loosely here cause we have some people claiming to be Irish when in actual fact it was there great great grandparents kinda thing! Mostly they are second generation, with their parents being Irish. So far there has been Aimee(dad is Irish), rebecca(both parents are Irish and had an Irish accent until she went to school and picked up an American one instead), Max(both parents are Irish) Charlotte(parents) and Ella(her mum is Irish but she grew up in England and then moved here when she was nine). Nothing bonds people together than ancestral homes! Also this is the edited list, there have been more but I seriously cut the list down. For example there is no grandparents listed etc.
Every time I get the train there is at least one Irish person(sometimes more). I got asked directions by someone and low and behold they were Irish so of course we had to exchange hometowns etc etc. For such a small island we sure do have people everywhere. I have a theory that we are slowly going to take over the world! I mean the amount of Irish pubs around the globe has to be a record or something! I remember finding one in Africa for Petes sake! Africa of all places! I don’t even want to count the amount that is here! I only know of the one in Freo and the rest I try and ignore! Just cause I’m Irish does not mean I will frequent these places!
Anyway rant over! In summary Irish people are taking over the world and college is going good! Updates will come few and far between cause the Internet keeps crashing so refuses to post my post…
