Another post already!

So I'm in the computer lab with 2 of the aussie girls and I am trying to find a new course to enroll in by tomorrow! My only dilemma is right now its 7am back home and I cant call my uni till after 9! So now I just gotta sit and wait and pass the time till I can call and see if I am allowed to enroll in a class that has nothing to do with environmental Science in Australia.. but sounds like a fun class to me!! - Earthquakes, natural disasters and plate tectonics!!! So I thought I would blog how awesome my res floor is!! Remember me complaining about not having a lovely homely room... well yesterday Gab one of the first year Canadians on my floor gave me a cool desk lamp for my room as well as a throw pillow for my bed AND a painting she painted of the Eiffel Tower so while I am on res my room will look more homely! Andy my Scottish friend gave me a Scottish flag to hang up on my window and I also have my plants I have grown from last week!! But that's not the coolest part!! Kate (Kate honey I told Canadian Kate that she was my Kate replacement while in Canada..!! Its ok though cause I can have a Canadian and an Aussie Kate and besides my argument is you replaced me before I had even left with a new Kim at work - with the same birthday too mind you!!) another Canadian on my floor drove Gab, Karl and I down to the shops and Gab and I got Siamese Fighter Fish so now I have a family member in my room! He is bright red and the craze has become so big that even the RA's are going out to get one (fish are the only pets allowed in res)!! As a tribute to Steve Irwin I called my fish Stevie Stingray while Gab called hers Jacques! So my room has received many visitors since yesterday (including the RA's) with everyone coming to see Stevie and the famous plant which sprouted in 3 days and is now over 10cm tall!!!! - So famous in fact that Karl had to bring his plant over to mine cause it has been 7 days and his had yet to sprout!! All us internationals getting fighter fish have made sure we have teamed up with Canadians who are here for the 4 years to take good care of our fish when we leave! Well that's it for now, I don't have photos with me so I wont post any yet but Ill have to add new photos of my awesome room now plus Stevie and how beautiful he is... Yes I sound like I'm 15 I know but I was excited and you want me to blog so I gotta talk about something!!

At White Spot with Canadians Hick Hayley, Sarah, Dannielle, Gab, Kate, Karl and then the crazy Scottsman Andy while the Aussie girls are in front - myself, Bec and Shana!
