Well, since my last excursion I have not done anything to incredibly wild. Who am I kidding? I'm always wild. Well the last 13 days since my previous blog post I have partied, met some really cool people, partied, eaten some really good Australian ice cream called Magnum, and various other things to immerse myself in the culture....(which basically means partied). Just kidding mom! I'm studying a lot!
Well as all of you love birds and single-ites know, just this week was the beloved Valentine's Day. Well, Australians hate Valentines Day just as much as most Americans, and acutally laugh when they see that all these American girls were waiting to receive their flowers, teddy bears, chocolates, and various packages at the mail room. One Australian girl even said "Well I know nothing back there is for me because we don't celebrate this crap!" Such a romantic!
After my few classes of Monday, me and some fellow American mates decided "Let's do Valentines Day like a very classy American!" So we got online and ordered Pizza Hut Pizza for the 5 of us, obviously doing the 3 for $13 meal DOUBLE! So we each would get our own pizza and have a community one to spare. (Do they have Hot & Spicy Pizza Mia's back home?) So we placed our order and started our walk (it costs $8.50 to deliver and we live 5 minutes away, plus it is 85 degrees here) to Pizza Hut when we got the great idea..."Let's be really classy and swing through Dan Murphy's and get beer or some sort of alcohol to go along with it. All 5 of us go into the store and begin our search for soemthing good. We ended up each buying something seperate for our individual selves, as a 24 pack of "cheap" beer is circa $45. (And Barbie, they don't have Miller Light! They have other forms of Miller but it is MUCHO expensive). Dan Reiss and myself each got 2, two, dos, du, boxes of Sunnyvale Fruity Lexia Wine (which costs approximately $19 for both and they are 4 liters a piece....What up Franzia!?!).
Now, my box of Goon had a ripped bottom. Being the American I am, I said "DISCOUNTTT!" thanks to my great friend Adam Sandler who taught me that in Big Daddy. So as we are walking to check out and I'm standing in line, in front of a mom and her son, my box breaks! The goon bag falls out and bounces on the ground and the little boy laughs hysterically and the mom slightly chuckles. The guy at the register goes "Oh, would you like me to tape up your box for you?" Yes please! What can make boxed wine even classier? Taped up boxed wine!
After leaving Dan Murphy's we went and picked up our pizzas and walked home (we were called very American by having 6 pizzas and tons of alcohol...we embraced it!) to enjoy our Valentine's Day feast. We illegally watched a movie on the internet and pigged out. A night well spent if you ask me. What did you do for your Valentines Day? Anything exciting? Barbara, did Julio put a ring on it?
Well this weekend I have Surf Camp Weekend to look forward to, so be prepared for pictures and a new blog post about my epic failure/domination. I'm going to hit the pool.....
Until Then,
Wilson
