Flatmates

I finally met all my flatmates last night. I love them all! I'm the oldest out of all because they're all freshman, so I sort of feel like their big sister. They are Chaz (who has declared me his new best friend), Olivia (the only other international student), Chloe, Richard, Dom, Shelley, and Eunice (who I've only briefly met and seems very shy). We got all dressed up and went into the city last night. They let me ride in the front seat of the taxi, and let me tell you it's quite a thrill to be sitting on the left side of the car and not driving. An experience! Tonight we're all having dinner together and going to the International Student Society's icebreaker in the city (which is supposed to be the best party of the semester). I'm so glad that we all get along so well, already fast friends. Dancing last night was so much fun, we went to a place where all the music was American Rock 'n' Roll, and we were all singing Aerosmith and Bon Jovi and Brian Adams at the top of our lungs.

Here are some pictures of us last night. Eunice didn't come out with us so she's not here. The top is Olivia, Me, Richard, Chaz, Dom, Chloe and Shelley (I appear to be either smelling or laughing at something). The second is a picture of us dancing in some bubbles (which you can't really see). One place had a giant bubble machine on the roof and a light show, so pink and purple and blue bubbles were falling all over the street.

Grady, sorry you're not loving your job. But remember, in the words of our Guru (Eminem): "Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity to sieze everything you ever wanted-One Moment-would you capture it or just let it slip?...Feet fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got. You can do anything you set your mind to, man."

This is your shot in the big city, make it your adventure. Love you.
