IM A WENDY LOVER!

o wow , the past few days have just been a blur. I have a theory that every Australian person is born beautiful, i have seen one fat person, they are so darn healthy here. I'm defo the minority.
I have made such strong relationships with people already, on the second day, Liz Jantzen, Stephanie Degiovanni and Claire arrived. Liz is from Canada, Claire is from New York and Stephanie is from Georgia. And we all bonded so well. I am so lucky, like we didnt have all that awkward tumble weed conversations, we just talked as if we had known each other for years. I prayed on the way here that i would make room mates that i would click with straight away and wow I did !
We went to the 'mall' ah ha! And i was amazed by the wendys, they sell thee best milkshakes ever, its so bad ive had one every day since ive been here. How healthy :/I brought sheets for 50 dollars, o dude. They have got me saying stuff like 'im stoked' 'im bushed' 'dude', im such an American wanabe. Everyone is so impressed with my essex accent they are making me repeat loads of things and speak slowly. Although i dont think im a true representation of a british accent though.
That night we were talking in bed and we were so excited thinking it was late, and it was like 7.30 hardcore... and then we woke up at 5 am. I felt like an old person.
On wednesday, we had a day off before DTS starts on thursday, and laods of people were arriving.
We decided to head down on the bus to the city o man, im in love with this place. i so dont want to come back to england!
i love australia, it feels like home. as most of you know, the past few months have been a nightmare, but i finally feel like my smiles are genuine here. (o by the way im so giving up on my grammer).
O, i put my photo wall up, im such a creep. All the girls in my room are so impressed though !
So, i wake up to all your lovely faces in the morning , makes me miss you all the more though!
people in brisbane are so stylish, they have the best clothes. there is like topshop styles clothe shops side by side. and everyone looks like they have just jumped out of vogue. i thought i felt inadequate walking down bluewater. Its such a different story here. But, gee everyones so friendly, we walked in to this supermarket ... which is ( you will never believe... ) WOOLWORTHS! yes... it still exists here. yey :) and , this random lady Ann a shopping assistant gave us a random hug, and we were hvaing a coffee in BB's and some random woman over heard our convo and came up to us and said 'do you work for YWAM? cos i listened to you talk and you dont swear or anything' and gave us 50 dollars between us. wow how nice?! in london its not even acceptable to talk to people in the street unless its for the time.
Its so different here in culture.
in brisbane, nearly everyone is christian, there is a church on every street corner so beautiful! and they all look like beach huts!
we went in to a beautiful cathedral in the city, i so pictured myself getting married there.
me liz and claire all brought beautiful dresses from this gorgeous pink shop called princess polly.
that afternoon, the rest of the girls arrived in our room, 9 of the rest. Sonja from Finland, Anna Louise from France, Heather from Florida, Gracie from Ohio, Olivia from Colorado, Mary Louise from Denmark, Liz Acker from North Carolina, and some other girls i cant remember their names who i cant wait to talk to more.
The other DTS girls bedroom next door to us are so cool, Glory from New York arrived, shes beautiful, Amy Swane and Anna Booth are sisters, Cherilyn from Ontario, i cant remember the other girls names, but tehres 12 in there aswell, and then below us we have 12 guys who are doing the beach to bush school and then next door to them we have 12 guys who are doing the MAD school (same one as me) yey :).

Anyways, those girls were pretty beat when they came in so they went to sleep and the rest of us went down stairs and all hanged out on our computers with some of the guys. We stayed up a bit later, and me, josh, liz and jason all went down to Mc donalds at like 1 am, and got some ice cream and then we all walked back to the abse, i had a shower and didnt get to bed till like 2. But its so surprisingly cold in the mornings i was up at 5 cos of the cold. my 50 dollar sheets are not worth it ! serious!





Thursdayyyyy! :d
okay course starts. some went to the beach, but i was way to tired, wish i went but i have 7 months im sure ill get some beach time in. So a few guys and girls went to the mall and we just chiled out. And then we got back and went back to the mall lol cos we was bored! ha ha the regulars! but all this walking?! man im gunna come back 20 pounds lighter! :p
at 3 am we had tea and cakes ( how british) on the terrace with all the staff and pupils, so there was like 170 of us, it was madness. so many new faces. and guess what i tracked down one english person !? it was so exciting. she is from newcastle, repping the North! im so excited to see her, we talked for ages, it reminded me of home! and made me feel so good.. i actually managed to get some chit chat in about x factor and english things like university everyone here calls it college?! how stupiiid. lol :p
and then we got introduced to all the staff and had some welcome talk, okay there is so many hot guys DROOOOL! lol
and then , we played relay races in the park, me liz and olivia did the three legged race, we looked like such idiots it was so funny! we managed to come 2nd though ! ah ha ! :D

and then we had ice pops. :) they were guuud but they gave me a green lime one which was icky. and made my lips a funny colour, so i looked like the diseased english person.
yeah then we had a graduation night, tonight, that is.. one school (digital film making) people graduated. and we all got dresed up and looked all pretty. and then ate dessert and coffee and watched their films was good.

now i have a bit of free time.

PRAY FOR ME MANN
o yeah we are going to the mountains on retreat this weekend, just teh MAD people to the mountains, to share our testimonies and get all personal. im dreading it.. all day ive been reminded of the bad stuff that happened lately and ive tried to cram it to the back of my mind, and now its all going to have to come to the surface.. and im terrified. but as i was starting to get dwon this girl glory was talking to me, and God placed her right in to my life right then , because we shared so much withe ach other, and she encouraged me loads.
im really excited, and i want to be so obiedient for God and do whatever he wants me to do!
im happy and nervous!
o mannnnn! im stoked!
