Greetings fellow bloggers and readers. My laptop battery is about to die so i may have to write this post another night. The weather is heating up here, its going to be +9 tommorrow, amazing. As the heat rises, the snow falls, we had our first two powder days ever here last weekend and it was amazing. Myself and fellow australians Michael and Rob (Sydney) went and rode through the trees on the backside of the mountain all day and it was delightfull. I have been working in a cafe lately, which is a nice change from the caffeteria which i have been bound to since beginning work here. You havent had a chai latte until you've tried mine. joke. Ive been reading the 3rd installment in Stephanie Meyer's 'Twilight' series lately, its rather intriguing and addictive, this doesnt surprise me as it seems to have sent the teenage world into a vampire frenzy, although the books do lack that vampire vibe that i crave, weird i know. Im currently sick with a rather painful head cold, so tomorrow, the beginning of my three day weekend (yes!) im going to spend it lying in bed reading and watching movies. I also have to catch up on some laundry. I recieved my first pay check yesterday and was pleased yet not so pleased with recieving $381 for a fortnights work. Although thats after my rent has been taken out, and i could easily live off that for a fornight, its still rather small compared to what i could be making working full time in melbourne. Being finally paid is a relief as i was digging rather deeply into my savings account, which needs to be saved to further my travels. My friend Sarah whom i share an apartment with and myself have been jamming to some dallas green lately, shes a rather talented musician and has been covering 'coming home' on guitar while i have been singing.
Due to the lack of....'quality'... in the apartment complex we live in, myself and wesley had enough of our draws tumbling down and not having any room in our room to live, so we decided we needed to 'renovate'. We searched the basement and came back with 4 milk crates each under our arms and brought them into our room. We then created a makeshift shelf which now holds all of our belongings which once lived on the floor. I stumbled across a lamp which now serves its purpose on my makeshift bedside table (suitcase).
My battery on my laptop is about to run out so i have to end this post here. Ill update asap with photos and more news. Ill leave you with a couple of photos from our trip to the casino in Canmore which led to me leaving $70 poorer.
for now, Where is My Mind?
Me, enjoying some peach flavoured cider.
Wesley and I
