Last night, May 16, was amazing. At first I had no intentions of going out but I did want to hang out with the people who were going out so I headed upstairs while they were all getting ready to go out. Eventually, Justin & Sami convinced me to go to Big Mike's brand new pent house. Apparently, it was a pent house that was in Darling Harbour with an incredible view, I was not going to believe it until I saw it. After a long walk there, finally all 8 of us made it. Big Mike is our friend from Newcastle, he was senior at school but only had 2 classes to finish so he decided to study abroad to finish those classes. A couple days/weeks ago he was informed that his school messed up his credits and that he had enough credits to graduate. Because of this news Big Mike dropped out of TEAN and Newcastle and got a job in Sydney and moved into a penthouse with 6 other people. This pent house was amazing, the kitchen was bigger than my whole apartment. When we walked in there were people from all over the world from Germany to London to USA. The view was amazing, you could see all of Darling Harbour and the Harbour Bridge. After hanging out for a little Sami and Cassie and the boys and I decided to head home. That is when the trouble started. Lets just say we didn't know there was a thing known as a service elevator but last night we found out because we couldn't get to the lobby it would only bring us to a trash room or kitchen or other floors of the apartment complex. We were freaking out for close to 20 minutes before we decided to head back to the pent house to ask for help that is when we discovered what a 'service elevator' was. Yes, we might be dumb. Finally after getting in the right elevator we headed to Harry's Famous Meat Pies since we were in Woolloomooloo where we were on our orientation for TEAN. Knowing we were in Woolloomooloo we realized how far away from home we were. Luckily enough for us, we payed attention during our Sydney walking tour and knew how to get home. We did have to ask how to start our journey back because at night you cannot walk through the Botanical Gardens and that was our plan. Finally after 1.5 hours of walking we made it back to the Oaks Harmony Hotel! Phewf, never thought I could be so excited to see my cockroach infested room!
Today, I woke up early this morning to FaceTime with the boys from Tampa. I was so happy to see them! Good news, Ashley and I found the most perfect apartment and are working on signing a lease!
