Yee Ha...Ho Down...Social!

, , , ...

On Friday night there was a party thing at the apartment of the Americans. However, their apartment was filled with GERMANS! Their apartment is soooo cool! You can see for so far (they live on the top floor) and if you need to be sick, you can surprise the people down below waiting at the bus stop :wink: I like apartments. I never want to own a lawnmower!


Dodgy photos from the balcony

A German guy I was helping at uni was there too and even remembered me. The best part of my job is when people see me and say 'Hey, I know you... You're that girl who helped me!' :smile:

We played a drinking game called...well I don't know what it was called, but it was with cards. Each card had a meaning and..hmm it's hard to explain. blah blah blah and if you put a card under the tab of the beer can and the can opened, you had to scull ( or ex ex ex ex) the can of beer. Luckily I didn't have to; I would have been sick!

The game that I don't know the name of

Next we played a game called 'Bunny'. It's SOOOO funny! This website explains it and there are photos too!! :D

Then Mr M and Mr C from downstairs arrived and we played a 'Canadian' (?) game named 'Yee-Ha'. Mr M didn't explain the rules to us so it was a bit confusing at first. It's really funny watching 'smart' foreign students yell at 'Yeee Haaaaa' like a cowboy :lol:


Then we ate cake, which I baked for Miss M, as it was her birthday :hat:


Even though it was a packet cake, everyone liked it. Just look at their smiles! P:

Then we went to the pub where we met up with all the other exchange students.


Mr M went to the bathroom and we had to watch his beer. This is a photo of us watching the beer. I'm the green beer-watcher and the other beer watchers are from Bulgaria and Germany


Now it's time to find some food I guess...

Big fat foreign people exchange student party

, , , ...

There's a MASSIVE party happening this Saturday from 9!!

There's going to be lots and lots of people!! At the moment, nearly 100!

It's going to be REALLY FUN! :D :hat: :drunk:


The party on Saturday will be huge...Guess you shouldn't miss it. At least that's what everybody told me :-)

(German guy)


:cry: I start work at 11pm, so I can't go (ok, I could go for an hour, but it'd take me 1 hour to get there!) I finish work at 4.30am so it will probably be finished... awww

I feel left out awww


The moral of the story: Get a job before you turn 18. Then you wont have to work in a bar every Saturday night, getting spit in your eye, while your friends and everyone you know go to the ueber cool party where all the funny foreign people are and has fun and doesn't even think of you working in the bar with some loser's spit in your eye, getting your hands cut on broken glasses etc etc

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I think I want to have a birthday party this year. But WHERE?! I live 40 minutes with a bus from the city...no one would want to travel all that way...actually, I wouldn't want anyone to come here anyway....then they'd realise that we have the same painting in our lounge room TWICE (one is just faded more than the other) Any ideas? :confused:

You can make friends with alcohol

, , , ...

I was at my friends' house on Friday night for a 'party' before another party with a group of exchange students. I was the only Aussie :up: Quite a few of them know me because I helped them over the last 2 weeks (I get paid for helping new students)

Now, how do you have a 'party'?
1. Sit around the coffee table
2. Put all your drinks onto the coffee table
3. Share all your drinks with the others


I took 9 bottles of Heiniken with me, with a total value of $7.50*9=$67.50 (I paid $0 for them though). Everyone thought that was cool and now everyone knows my name :cool: The Simpsons were right, you can't make friends with salad. You CAN make friends with alcohol (and cake!)

My shelf in the fridge = my free beers

The other party started at 8, but everyone forgot and we left the house at 9.30. But there was still some wine left...and it was wine in a BAG! Do you have wine in a bag where you live?

Finnish and German people think wine in a bag is so cool that they want their photo taken with it!

We got to the other party and it was lots of fun :smile: (eventhough it was at a dodgy bar) Living in the suburbs is really annoying. You have to go home at 11.30pm! Well, I didn't go home at 11.30pm :D At 2am a group of us decided it was time to sleep, so we walked down the road a bit back to the house :zzz: Some of the Germans went to have breakfast at the continental shop, but I went home because I purposely took $0 with me so I wouldn't buy anything.... :frown:

These foreign people I hang out with are really nice, even when they are drunk. When Aussies get drunk, they get mean and rude (I'd know, I work in a bar). One guy spat in my eye last night!!

(Please forgive my German, but practice makes perfect :smile: )

Am Freitag gab es eine kleine Party bei einem Paar Freunden von mir. Sie wohnen in dem Stadtzentrum. Es gab vielen Austauschstudenten da und nur 1 Australierin: Kim! :smile:

Wie macht man eine Studenten-Party?
1. Alle sitzen rund um den KaffeeTisch
2. Stecken die Getraenke auf dem Tisch
3. Teilen die Getraenke

Ich habe 9 Flaschen Heiniken mitgebracht. In einer Kneipe/Bar kosten sie ungefaehr $7.50 pro Flasche...also, ins gesamt: $67.50 (ich habe nichts bezahlt :smile: ) Jetzt kennen jedem meine Name. Alkohol=Freunde?

Ich habe heisses Wasser getrunken Mmm lecker. Dann habe ich eine Tasse Tee getrunken...dann habe ich eine Tasse Tee mit bacardi getrunken (weil Herr P hat Bacardi in meine Tasse eingegossen(?)) :yuck: Ich habe die Tee herausgesprudelt.

Studenten beklagen immer dass sie kein Geld haben...aber betrunkene Austauschstudenten haben sooo viel Geld fuer Alkohol!! Ich habe $0 in meiner Portemonnaie gehabt. Ich muss/will Geld und meiner Leber sparen.

Um 2 Uhr morgens war 3 anderen und ich sehr muede also sind wir zu Hause gegangen. Samstag morgen haben die Deutschen Furehstueck ins Cafe gegessen. Ich habe kein Geld also bin ich zu Hause gegangen...und ich habe geschlafen.

Kostenloses Essen

, , , ...

Für nichts gibt's nichts

FALSCH!

Ich liebe alles was kostenlos ist flirt Heute war ich an die Universitaet weil ich eine Reiseleiterin fuer die neuen Studenten bin. Es gab ein kostenloses Essen: Teekuchen, Sandwiches, Orangensaft und...WASSER!! (aber leider nicht heisses Wasser :worried: ) Das Mittagessen war ganz lecker.


Herr A: Hi Kim! Wow, du bist immer an die Uni!
Ich: Ja, weil es kostenloses Essen gibt :wink:


Herr D und Herr A hat das Mittagessen SEHR gut gefunden! Nach dem Mittagessen haben sie 12 Sandwiches 'entwendet' und in einem Karton versteckt. Ich habe so viel gelacht :D


Ich: Wie viele Sandwiches hast du?
Herr D: Umm...15?
Ich: haha es gibt noch viel mehr auf dem Tisch...
Herr A: Hey, hier gibts 2 mehr *grinsen* *steckt die Sandwiches im Karton*
Ich: Es gibt auch Orangensaftflaschen auf dem Tisch. Mann kann $0.05 pro Flasche bekommen!! Nimmst du sie auch zu Hause? P:


Dann haben wir Kaffee und Pfefferminz Tee bei Herr D getrunken. Ich habe immer gedacht dass, Pfefferminz Tee wie Zahnpasta schmeckt. Aber das stimmt nicht :smile: Ich habe ein neues Wort gelernt: 'Streichholzschaechtelchen'. Leider kann ich 'Streichholzschaechtelchen' nicht sagen... (die Französischen Austauschstudenten auch!) Im Moment ist mein Lieblingswort 'Luftpolsterfolie'! :D Die Austauschstudenten finde das lustig :lol:

Nach eine Stunde sind wir Einkaufen mit Frauline L (sie ist aus den USA und sagte dass es keinen Wasserkochers in den US gibt :eyes: ) in Rundle Mall gegangen. Es gibt vielen fremden/komischen Leute in Rundle Mall :left: Wir sind ins 'Target' gegangen und ich habe ein Kinder-Pferd fuer $296 gefunden. Es sieht sooooo blöd/lustig. Es gibt eine Kleidung-Sektion 'Mr Big' fuer dicken Maenner. Wenn jemand Kleidung von 'Mr Big' kauft ist es Zeit eine Diät zu machen!!




Morgen habe ich ein Treffung mit einem Studienrat an die Uni...mit ihm muss ich ueber Austausch sprechen. Hoffentlish sagt er 'Ja, du kannst einen Austausch machen' :up:


Hoffentlich ist mein Deutsch nicht zu schlecht zu lesen :smile:
Ich muss jetzt duschen und dann gehe ich ins Bett :zzz:

4th place...just an Aussie battler

, , , ...

Today, I was eager to find out who had won Opera's Tell a Friend competition. I made an entry and my 'target market' was the off-the-track youth of today who use MySpace. These poor kids need to use something friendly like Opera :smile: Intersheep endorsed the project.

Well, I came 4th. There are 3 prizes. Yeah. I guess I'm just an Aussie battler. I got 135 friends...3rd place got 150...5th place got 37...

Additional prizes will be awarded for unique and mentionable entries.


I'm hoping that I'll at least get a pen for my efforts. And a blue pen too... Or some cool Norwegian food because I've never tasted Norwegian food before. I've had such a hard life: only the top 15% at uni, not the top 5% ....I use a backpack with the logo of a broke company on it...the zip is broken...I can't get a replacement...I work in a bar and customers spit in my eye :irked: ...the coolest/nicest friend I have lives >15,000km away awww ...I drink hot water to save teabags...the kettle is broken...I have a brick for a mobile phone...It's second hand...I used to have a stalker on the bus :insane: ...I have porridge with water to save milk...PJs are too big for me...I cry at the dentist...an 8 yr old girl made me cry by making me pat her pet chicken (I'm scared of chickens...oh and most dogs too)...I have Raynaud's disease which affects my quality of life :worried: ... *sigh*


Anyway....today I had lunch with my sister at the markets. We ate eggplant and mushroom hot pot which is really fattening but REALLY tasty :up: We didn't go to the usual place, The ChinaTown Cafe, but 'Kens something Chinese something restaurant'...or something...

We shared the meal, so $4.50 each...then we had green tea which blew costs out to a whopping $5.50 each! Hard life...so expensive...

After that we went to Just Jeans (a shop for jeans!) to buy JEANS! Well, I tried some on but they didn't fit and I nearly cried :cry: Hard life... Then we went to Target and tried on the most horrible clothes we could find. It wasn't difficult to find ugly clothes!

My sister and I....me with a muffin top

Me in the ugliest green dress ever (yes, I wore 2 pairs of socks today)...and me in the ugliest green dress ever AND the ugliest pink jacket ever. It looked like it was made from linoleum.

I always wanted to be a pirate: puffy shirt with elastic, no zip, very high waisted grandma pants :yuck:

How could anyone NOT want to give this girl a prize?


Have you ever had an Aussie burger? They MUST contain beetroot. That white shirt you spilt beetroot juice on...It's no longer Chinese...it's Aussie! Yes, it seems that whenever you add beetroot to something it becomes 'Aussie'. If you have a burger with lamb and beetroot=super Aussie burger. Aussie waffles...???

For tea my dad had Aussie waffles: Waffles with beetroot (and tuna, mushrooms and parsley...)


The red cross sent me a 'thankyou' thing today. I didn't even collect any money for them! Infact I threw their marketing material into the bin as soon as I got it.

You're welcome :D You're easy to please, hey?

In summary:
Do nothing= get thankyou letter from Red Cross

Make 135 friends on Myspace, promote Opera, make a huge poster about a lost pig promoting Opera and stick it to a bus stop (it got STOLEN too!! The thief thought it was the best poster EVER!! :wink: ), spend lots of time making all these friends, use up some of the 12 GB internet allowance, strain my eyes on computer, feel effects of Raynaud's Disease in my cold room= ????



*cry* Hard life...I made my phots BIGGER and they still go pixely eventhough they look FINE in PaintShop Pro :ko:

Artifically flavoured, bins and weight loss

, , , ...

Hello....Haven't been around much. Been studying, staying in my PJs all day...You can tell I've been working hard because there's a LOT of blue pen on them :cool:

Anyway, some stuff I found to blog about this week:

'Naturally and artificially flavoured'...yeah, that's going to make me want to buy them (They DID taste good though1)


Are increasing fuel prices meaning you can't buy games for your children? Don't worry! Just play 'how much stuff can you fit in the bin' The child who makes everything fall down has to take it outside.


I'm half of my old self* thanks to the 'Kimbers diet' :up:

On Sunday I went to a park with my dad. We found a shopping trolley so he pushed me around in it. It was sooo much fun! :D He wants to know if pushing me in a shopping trolley counts as exercise....


:bomb: Why do my photos always go really pixely when I upload them onto here? They don't look like this when I edit them...Well, the last one does because it was too small but the other two are fine... *confused*


* I was never that fat.

:cry: Now it's 9am which means I should start my homework nooooooooo!

My first week in Adelaide

, , , ...

Hi! My name is Intersheep, Kimbers' get well sheep. I'm called Intersheep because I'm the only sheep in the whole world who can use the internet :cool:

My Shepard sent me to Australia in a cardboard envelope. It was a very long, dark and bumpy journey. I eventually made it to Adelaide, where I met Kimbers. She seemed really happy to see me and I was happy to see her because I didn't like being in the dark envelope and I like people. Kimbers is nearly all better now and we're good friends :smile:

I've been taking some photos during my first week here. I think you'll be quite amazed at my photography skills. I am a sheep after all, but I did have a pretty good teacher. Anyway, here are my photos :smile:


I have my very own login :smile:


It's autumn in Australia. I don't know if other sheep can see in colour, but I can.


When Kimbers was sick, I made sure I didn't get sick.


I miss my Shepard :frown: He used to make me yummy coffee. Now all I get is hot water (that's all that Kimbers drinks!)....I guess the umbrella is pretty cool though :wink:


I like sitting in the sun (when it shines) and eating grass.


These are some of my new friends. Moose and horse from Canada, Panda from China and Bird from Alsace in France :happy:


I don't know if the cat likes me. It always sniffs me :left:


I met these sheep in a chat room. They're from New Zealand.


Paris Hilton has a Chiwawa in her bag. Kimbers has ME flirt


I'm pretty clever, but this accounting homework is too hard for me :eyes: Can you believe Kimbers got 6/7 for the test?! She couldn't either.


No Kimbers, you can't cook THAT for dinner!!! :yikes: *covers eyes*

Well, that's my first week. Now it is time for all sheep to go to bed. I'll probably write again one day, to let all of you know how I am going. Byeeeee and goodnight!
