To All of You American Girls

So after living in Toowoomba for a few weeks, here are a few things I've noticed.

1.) There are crickets everywhere. Like lying dead on my carpet or in my shower. Ew.
2.) I’ve already grown accustomed to looking to the right side first when crossing the street. Which means I might die being hit by a car when I return to the US.
3.) Perk: Every Wednesday someone comes in to change my sheets and vacuum my room. Even my mom doesn’t do that.
4.) Because of the humidity, my hair takes probably a good 10 or 15 minutes to blow dry.
5.) The giant window that takes up my whole wall is always open, even at night.
6.) It always startles me when I hear the birds that sound like they are cat-calling right outside my window.
7.) All the dirt here is red or black because Toowoomba used to be a volcanic site… or something like that.
8.) They don’t have bagels here. Like I don’t even think they know what they are. I’m craving a Panera Asiago Cheese Bagel with cream cheese like crazy.

In other news, I just got a job! I start this Friday working at the Hog's Breath Cafe (which is less like a cafe and more like a restuarant) running tables. Classes have been OK (A lot easier than at GCC which is a refreshing change) and they leave me a lot of freetime which gives me time to enjoy the sun :)

  1. NO BAGELS? nutso!!!!

    i'm so glad classes are easier and i'm also so happy you got a job...that will probably be so much fun (because it's in Australia, not because it's a job)!

    love the title ;)
