Gah!

There. are. too. many. cockroaches. here.

There I was, minding my own business, drinking a milkshake at Fast Eddy's. When a cockroach fell off a pipe on the ceiling and on to my back, bouncing off to the floor. My friends lied to me, saying it was a leaf. Leaves do not go *thud* off your back and then scurry away. I will throw up if I have to see one more effing cockroach while I am here. This can not be normal.

On a better note, we went on a "torchlit" tour of the Freemantle Prison today. Now I know we only just went three days ago, but we had to try again. About 18 of our group came, which was very cool. It wasn't as scary as I imagined it would be, but it was very gloomy and eerie. But it was mostly just the heavy feelings, not much I can retell about here.

I just wanted to moan about the freakin cockroaches.

New pictures up!

Finally starting the long process of uploading more pictures. We've just been so busy and uploading them from this shitty wireless internet connection is a very laborious process. But I'm doing it!!

Tomorrow is our last day in Perth.. *tear. I've really enjoyed myself in this city.. the city centre, the nearby beaches, the excellent bus and train system.. I'm excited to check out what Tasmania has to offer (although most locals say it's an awful place, cold and full of inbreeding. LOL!) but I am a little nervous we've gotten a bit too used to all the conveniences Perth has to offer. But! I know plenty former Walkabout students who loved it, and Sona even told me it was her favorite place, so really I'm not worried at all. Knowing that I'm always on the move helps ease the homesickness too.

Oo! Great news! We're finally settling out what we want to do for spring break! Pretty much everyone is going to New Zealand, although in different numbers of groups and slightly different activities. Some are booking an entire guided tour for like $1200, some are renting out an RV and driving around, some are just taking extended hiking trips in the Alps. Maria, Morgan, Katie, and Colby and I are renting out a car for the nine days and traveling around the South Island, most likely on this route. We're planning on extending it down to Queenstown for a night or so as well tho. Some of the girls really want to go sky diving, but that's not even something my brain can conceive, so don't worry (MOM!). lol. I booked my flight already which was a big stupid production bc the flights were quickly getting booked out, but thankfully it's all settled now.

Alright, good times. Me and Jenessa are going to get our hairs trimmed. Catch you all on the flip siiidee
