First and foremost - THIS WEEK IS OVER!!!! Phew that feels good! This is proof, mom and dad, that we don't just party party party ;)
Just to make this week a little less stressful, we made sure we ate well... vital. My friend Chris, from the UK, made a list for me at the beginning of the semester of places I have to go and places I have to eat - the restaurants are dissipating quite nicely!
Macaela, Maggie, Natalie (New Aussie friend), and I went to an "American" restaurant called Sizzlers on Wednesday. It's called "American" because it's a buffet - figures! Anyway, it was delicious!!! We just may have gotten 4 plates each... but that's what buffet's are for, right? :)
We had such a great time talking, laughing, and dancing - perfect before a big night of studying!

Plate #1
This is so depressing: One-person tables!!!!!
Simply cruel.
After sitting and chatting for a
while, we got hungry again...
this may be plate #4 - hehe
Dance party in the car!!!!
Friday was a fabulous night as well - Cat, Maggie, and I were SO relieved to have gotten everything completed and turned in, we decided to take ourselves somewhere nice. We went to an Italian restaurant called Augello's - it was amazing (and reasonable too)! I got a nice big Cajun Reef Fish Salad and took this rest home for lunch on Saturday.
Side comment: It is quite uncustomary for a restaurant to let you bring food home here. It's actually against the Food and Safety law because of people not putting things in the fridge = bacteria growth. Being from the US, this was certainly a shock the first time I was denied - how odd to not be legally allowed to get a doggy bag?!?!! Fortunately, Augello's was willing to break the law for me - lovely :)
Augello's -- yum yum!
Augello's is located in Mooloolaba - walking back to the Car Park (that's what Aussie's call a parking lot) this is how high the tide was - insane!!!
Well, the rest of the weekend is for the next entry - I have one last quiz tomorrow so I'm off to do some more studying. Love each of you dearly!
I was talking to Wendy Moody this morning after Sunday School, and she mentioned that a friend of hers also found uploading videos onto her blog to be excrutiatingly slow. Instead, she uploaded them onto Youtube and then linked to the video on her blog. Just a thought!
ReplyDeleteI'm delighted to see that you're eating well, and not pining away for those of us in the Western and Northern hemispheres. Keep a list of where we need to go when we get there!
I love, love, love you :D
