My First Week

So, I thought it was time that I update all my followers on my whereabouts and what I'm doing. I am now in Townsville, Australia. I arrived here on the 10th of July at precisely 9.45 pm after 14 hours of travelling ( 6 of which involved sitting in Auckland Airport, trying to find something interesting to do). I had many misadventures on my trip, some of which included discovering I'm only allowed 23kg max for my luggage, that was an expensive thing to discover. Also realizing that I had to pay for the trolleys at Brisbane Airport and at this time had no Australian coins, and then having to lug my 5 bags off the airtrain onto the platform and getting a nice airport lady to help me drag them to the correct place. I got here at night and so everyone was asleep. Being the organized person I am, I decided to tiptoe around in the dark and unpack all my suitcases. The next few days were pretty casual, just learning all the rules and guidelines, and getting settled in. I also learned during these talks that we HAVE to exercise three times a week from 6.15 to 6.45, the whole base has to get up and get active...omigoodnnneesss! Trips to the local mall Castletown have also been quite regular. I have met so many awesome people here on base so far. I live in a flat with 13 other girls, we share one bathroom, one toilet and two showers ( comfortable living :P). The girls are really great and I have been building up friendships with them. I also have a work duty now. Everyone has these. Its a specific job we do in the afternoon, it can range from reception to maintenance to just looking after the children on the base. My work duty is being the House Cleaner...woohoo! I guess if I want to be a good wife someday I should get some practice at house cleaning, but it is just soooo much work ! :) haha. Makes me really appreciate my mummy! So anyway, this week is pretty laxed out so far and we start lectures next week. I will keep you all updated!
