What college kids do in their freetime

The first week in the village has been quite a success, since school has not started yet kids in the village are throwing parties every night. It is a pretty cool thing when you are at a house party and your RA is also there partying with the rest of the students. Its not like back in the states where RA's just want to get you in trouble, to be honest, Im not exactly sure what the RAs do here. Most parties are pretty relaxed, but the guys in 47 are aussies, and they are crazy. On friday they threw a birthday party for this girl from Long Island, MJ, this was actually my first time meeting her, but at least it was a good reason to party. These little house parties are fun and it definitely saves money from going downtown.

Mondays in the Village

The first Monday at Macquarie was a frantic one. Many are realising (Yes in Australia it is spelled "realising") that they have not packed quite everything needed, myself included. Luckily the Macquarie Center, aka the mall, is a 15 minute walk from the village. This place literally has everything, grocery store, food places, clothing stores, electronic stores, salons, movie theater, even the RTA (DMV) is the in mall! And of course to polish off a long day of shopping, Dave, AKA Mr. New York, takes us to his favorite place to eat, Thai Break, this thai food is off the hook. So what is there to do on a Monday night? Well, since its the first night we decide to go downtown to a little joint called scubar. For some reason this place goes off on Mondays, its pretty small inside but I guess thats why it goes off on Mondays; it doesnt take an excessive amount of people to fill this place up.
