Well if you hadn't taken a guess from the title that this post is going to be about gambling then you haven't seen the movie 21 yet and well I just don't know how I feel about you any more...
Anyway last night (Friday night) I went to a casino for the very first time! It was so exciting, all the machines whirling and the flashy lights. My eyes were definitely as big as saucers and I was definitely over stimulated. My friends and I scoped out the various tables, looking for the cheaper minimum bids and the hot dealers. The Star casino is huge, and there were tables everywhere along with slot machines and electronic roulette. Fun fact, slot machines are called pokeys in Australia. Anyways, with our vouchers in hand (we got $20 vouchers for signing up for a rewards program and a free chicken parm dinner #win) we hit up the roulette tables. I have never played roulette, or really gambled ever, so luckily for me I was with a pro and I was able to figure it out. After a couple of rounds of roulette and few hands of blackjack, I walked away a very happy camper. I won $50, and lost 0 because of the voucher. Maybe it was beginner's luck, but I'm secretly hoping I have a gift because I'm definitely hitting up Vegas once I'm legal.
That's about it, going to a casino is fun but I can see how it can get addictive and you should always gamble responsibly :)
Adios!

Post Break Boredom?
It occurred to me last night, that I only have 57 days left of being in Australia, its week 8 at uni and I'm pretty sure there are only 12 weeks in a semester, which is a rather sad thought. So it means you'll only get a grand total of maybe 5 posts from me, unless I get super responsible in the next few weeks, unlikely.
Anyway, after New Zealand I've been trying to catch up on a lot of the colour I lost while I was there. My family still thinks I'm super tan, thanks Skype. I look at myself and I look super pasty, I think I'm tanorexic. If you don't know what that is then you need to start reading @SororityProblems. Anyway, I've been trying to tan however its SO cold out! Its not actually cold but the difference between 80-90 and 60-70 is huge when your in your swimmers. So I've given up on full on laying out and instead just spend as much time in the sunshine as possible.
So I essentially spend all day in class or outside, or hiding in my room because I think its too cold. I'm also sick currently so I've been spending a lot of hours indoors. An upside of my sickness is that I bought some lavender scented toilet paper. So now when I blow my nose it at least smells nice, and it makes my bathroom smell better, double win!
I went to Luna Park a couple of weeks ago, and it is the COOLEST place! Its a mini amusement park right in Sydney. I went with my friend Monique, and we went on all kinds of nifty rides! We went on this really dodgey slide, where you just stick your feet into this burlap sack and slide down this really steep slide. Totally safe right? There was also a spinny octopus ride and this tango train, which were both super fun. I love rollercoasters, big ones, small ones, twisty ones, ones that go backwards and forwards. There's a roller coaster at Luna Park , and it doesn't look particularly scary nor is it big. It does look old and sketchy as fuck. There was an 11 year old ahead of us in line so Monique and I were like if she can do it we can. We got on and I have never screamed so much before because every time we turned I thought we were going to fly out and die. The little girl made fun of us when we got off, which was embarrassing, but I'm never going on ever again.
This weekend is Cinco de Mayo, which I'm hoping will be better then St. Patty's. To kick it off I'm going toa rugby match and will probably eat some disappointing Mexican food. The burritto doesn't need to go in the oven and guac is not supposed to be liquidy. That's all I'm saying...
That's all for now! Ta!
