Roomies

I love these girls so much I decided they deserved a blog post about them. 4/178 Beach Street is where it's at.

First we have Kristin from Philly. Who is so incredibly photogenic, it was hard to pick just one picture for her. So ridiculous... love her to death. She came home one night in the wee hours after making friends with the entire bar and woke up early in the morning to inform us she was leaving for a surf lesson on the beach with her new surfer friends. Typical.

Next is her friend Kelsey from Boston. Both go to Manhattan College in NY. This is Kelsey sleeping on the way home from the Wine Tour. (I obviously tried to pick the most attractive pictures I could find)..

Last but not least is our Canadian Jaclyn. I found her swimming by herself in our awkward pool in front of our building one morning before school...

I don't really think I need to show y'all an embarrassing picture of myself... I'm sure you have all seen enough of those. So here is an actual picture of the four of us one night at Coogee Bay Hotel!

We are all slowly learning to cook and it's great. And by that, I mean they usually cook while I watch and then eat, and then clean. So it actually works out great. We walk to the grocery store and pick out food for the week, split the cost, and make roomie dinners every night. We've done burritos, grilled chicken and mashed potatoes, pasta, mmm. It's quite impressive, really, for four girls who have never cooked before. Gotta learn somewhere I guess! Dinner is usually followed by our new tradition of dipping tim tam's into tea after dinner. Delicious! 

Kristin and Kelsey are functional in the mornings, unlike me, so they got up at 6 am one morning to watch the sunrise. I'm SO jealous. I mean, seriously, look at this picture. Maybe one morning I will drag myself out of bed to watch it because it truly is unbelievable.






We named our Internet "Phil" after our Plumber. Phil never works, so our nights often consist of the four of us sitting around Phil in a circle in order to get the best connection possible complaining about how incapable he is. We also don't have a vacuum, dishwasher, we broke the DVD player... but who needs those anyways, right?

 Kristin and Kelsey's birthday present to Jaclyn. A nutella sandwich, a tim-tam, and an oreo. What a lucky girl to wake up to this!!! Jaclyn often forgets her key and just waits outside for hours until someone can let her in. Kristin pronounces "water" as "wooder" with her great East Coast accent. Kelsey  steals napkins, salt, and pepper at restaurants for us so we don't have to pay ridiculous sums of money for small things like that.

I would say, all in all, we are a pretty fun bunch! I am so thankful that I moved from campus to the beach-best decision I ever made. I am loving it here more and more everyday. It is not going to be easy to leave! Sorry for the inside jokes and ridiculous pictures of the roomies... This was at the Hunter Valley Wine Tour today, which was GORGEOUS! A more interesting blog post about that to follow soon...
