Freo

I woke up this morning pretty cold, but it was better than I thought. They forgot to put a space heater in my room, so I was bundled up in shorts, capris, pants, a tank top, t-shirt, zip up sweatshirt, my Hope sweater shirt, and socks. I also have 3 blankets and a sheet, but they have no insulation in the flats, so it's very cold, especially at night. They said I should get my heater tomorrow, so I can't wait! When I got up, I took a shower, which floods, so it was very quick. I'm not sure how to fix that, but something needs to be done because the water almost rose above the ledge to the main floor! I went online after and watched the first act of A Very Potter Sequel, which is very good so far, and then went for a walk around the village and part of campus. I found this place called the Chinese Gardens, which is really cool and has a pagoda and waterfall.

At noon, I met up with the rest of the CIEE students and we all took a bus to Fremantle (aka Freo). We got off and went to a market, and then we got separated into a few groups. I was with 3 other girls, and we went to look for phones. We found a place that has phones for $29 and a pay as you go plan for $29 (the AUD is very comparable to the USD), but we had to have our passports and I left mine in my room. One girl got hers, though, and the other 3 of us are going to Kmart tomorrow to try and get phones, we heard they have the same price. We walked around Freo and two of the girls wanted to get something to eat, so we went to a restaurant and they got appetizers and drinks. We then went to target to get some things for our flats, but it was expensive, so we decided to find the bus back and go to Kmart, which is near campus. The bus took a long time to get there, but eventually we got back to the shopping centre near Murdoch. When we got there pretty much everything was closed because they close at 5, yes even Kmart and Coles (a grocery store). We did find another grocery store that was open until 9, so we went there and got some food. I just got fruit because I don't think my stomach can handle much of anything else yet. We then walked back to campus, which is about a 10-15 minute walk. I then came back to my room and am literally chilling, since I don't have my heater yet, haha.

Oh, and as for pictures, I'm just putting them on flickr since it takes a long time to load.
