I Have A Home In Tampa!

WOOHOO!

It's official I have an apartment in Tampa with two of my good friends. We are very lucky to have this apartment, and it means so much to us that our parents are allowing us to live in such a great place. Its a beautiful two bed two bath apartment in the most perfect location. As stated before, Ashley and I will be sharing the master and Kelsey, who has a very long and crazy school schedule, will have the other room to herself. She is a nursing student and we agreed to let her have the room to herself. I literally am the happiest camper in the world looking at the pictures of this place. Thanks to mom and Rick for doing some secret investigating we were able to sign and send the lease with no problems at all! I am so proud of myself for handling uni and trying to find an apartment in Tampa from 10,000 miles away and 14 hour time difference. I had many long nights calling via Google phone contacting realtor after realtor and calling ad after ad. This apartment is the apartment we had our eyes on for a while and it is our dream to live here. I guess it is true, dreams do come true! Thank you mom and Rick for letting me live here! You're more than welcome anytime :-*

With good news always comes bad news...Unfortunately, Thailand is in a small but dangerous civil war in Bangkok because of the government issues. This could stop me from going to Thailand as planned in three weeks. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to make it there because going to Asia is on my bucket list. Please lets all keep our fingers crossed that I will be able to get to Thailand this semester!

Today, May 21, was Sam's birthday celebration. In Sydney, Wednesday night is one of the best nights to go out. The 17th floor held pre-drinks and we all sang happy birthday to Sam with little miniature cupcakes, of course I got a fireball picture. Seeing as how I did not get much sleep last night I planned on not going out. I hung out while everyone got ready to go out but went to my room once everyone started to leave. I am happy that I decided to stay home because I really need my sleep.

This weekend, Kelley Rachel Nicole and I have big plans. I cannot wait to keep you updated with everything we plan to do. I only have 5 weeks left in Sydney (so sad I know) so we are trying to conquer everything a tourist should do even though we live here. We have a whole list so I cannot wait to share pictures and keep you updated.

Miss and love you all!!
