Everyday life

It's been a while since I wrote. Not much has been happening that has been horribly exciting...
Last night I got called into work. Usually Tuesdays are pretty slow so we only had two waitresses a cook and a drink maker. Well apparently, there was a U2 concert that night as well and I think all 45,000 people going to the concert decided to eat in our little courtyard of restaraunts. We have about 40 tables in our place and every table was taken. And we only had 2 waitresses! Luckily the owner of the store came back in but she still only could just run the cash register. So between the 2 of us we handled all the tables. Holy crap, what an experience. Luckily people were nice and understanding. It's a good thing we don't work off tips here. If we were over there, we would have had some angry people. WE made more in two hours than we make all day long on any day. It was absolutely ridiculous. Merbieth's restaraunt does it al ittle different, they have a chef cook all the food for the day and then put in in the refridgerator and it just gets heated up. yuck! Well anyways, they comompletely ran out of food. haha. Oh man what a night...
Other than that we have pretty much been working a lot and hanging around Brisbane. I'm going to go to Southbank which is the man made beach in the middle of brisbane. It's my day off. Next week I think we'll go for a trip somewhere. That will be fun.
It poured down rain here on Saturday. Like I've never seen before. It's unbelievable, it's like a waterfall. you're soaked in about 20 seconds. so the rest of the games got cancelled. Then we had practice on Monday and it decided to rain just as we finished so we walked home in the pouring down rain. haha it was funny though, we laughed the whole way home.
We went to dreamworld last week. I got to hold a koala bear. He was so soft and gentle, just sat tehre and looked at the camera. It was really cute. There were koalas everywhere. I pet the kangaroos and all that too. It was fun. There amusement parks don't compare in the slightest to ours though. they had one good ride, teh rest sucked and they hurt. Their roller coasters and stuff here jerk the hell out of you. We were soar the next day from it.
we moved into our new house on Friday. It's nice. We still have our own rooms, we have full time internet, t.v. a dvd player. So it's nice. it's all fully furnished too. We live with a German guy and Korean guy but they pretty much don't ever come out of their rooms. I've seen one guy twice and the other guy comes out every once in a while and talks. so it kind of feels like it's our own house. The location is so much better, we can catch buses anytime, there's a beach nearby, just a better place, so we're very happy with that.
softball isn't going that well but it's okay. It's fun, but we go to practice and the team never shows up. We're not very good so we lose our games. teh people are great and we have a good time with them. Just a lot of drama and stuff too.
It's getting pretty hot here. It's pretty humid too. I've basically decided that no where in the world can compare with California weather.
There are bugs everywhere here too. Cockroaches crawl around like ants in some places. It's disgusting. We had to jump over like 6 yesterday walking down the street. some of them fly too!!! Man it's definitely making me face my fears, haha. We have to go downstairs under the house to use the wash. Oh it's disgusting, I feel like I'm just going to put my face into a spider web with a huge spider.
Outside our house we have a tree that attracts bats, so tehre are tons of bats flying around outside, I feel like I'm going to a haunted house that you see on t.v. They're ugly little suckers too and tehy really do hang upside down on the trees. The worst part is hearing them fly, you can actually hear their wings flap. Oh it's gross.
no cute animals around. haha.
well I guess that's it for now. I'll write more later when I can think so some more stuff. I'll keep you posted about our next big adventure too. We've recruited two more people to go skydiving with us too!
Time for the beach, Love you all!
