Went to the pajama party last night. I saw it spelled “pyjama” in a few places – that must be how they do it around here. I just went in my usual pajama pants and an undershirt, but a couple of the English guys decided to dress in girls clothes. That was pretty entertaining for everyone. The Howitt Hall Society hired a DJ and everything, and all the drinks were free once again. The party was fun, and I like the fact that they do a lot of theme parties here, but it’s tough since I didn’t really bring too much unnecessary clothing that I wouldn’t be wearing on a daily basis. That’s the kind of stuff what would have been perfect for these theme parties here. This morning, they made us bacon and egg sandwiches outside, and I was pretty happy to finally eat some eggs. I don’t think I have had any since I was in Sydney two weeks ago. I had a few of the sandwiches, and then headed back to campus to Day #2 of the clubs and societies expo. It was nice and sunny so I didn’t mind going back today, even though it was the same thing I had seen yesterday. I got some free stuff, including a $50 travel voucher to STA Travel and 3 free iTunes downloads. I also got a free Vitamin Water and found out that Vitamin Water has yet to become big here. No one really knew what it was, and it is just beginning to get promoted in this area. While we were there, a few other guys signed up for the Sydney trip and then we came back to Halls. I wanted to go to the grocery store so that I will have food next week when I return from this weekend’s trip, and my RA offered to take us to the nearby Coles. I was finally able to get some milk, eggs, fruit, and dinner meat, among other things. Tonight, we are having an “International Dinner,” whatever that means. Then, they are taking us to Luna Park, an amusement park in St. Kilda that I have seen the two times I have been down there. Since I’m going away this weekend beginning tomorrow, I won’t be writing a blog for a few days. I’m definitely looking forward to the trip to the Great Ocean Road, but I’ve never done the whole backpacking thing, staying in hostels, so I’m interested to see what that will be like. I also might try some surfing, and I’ll be bringing my camera to hopefully take some nice pictures.
