ONE WEEK LEFT UNTIL SPRING BREAK!!
Cannot wait to go to Cairns, and am hoping time flies by until then. Spent yesterday at work and studying for my mid-term this morning before finishing the night off with a movie. [If nothing else, I have been watching so many good movies while here.] Today, I had my 16 question mid-term which we were given an hour and a half to take, so I spent more than an hour just hanging out this morning, which was great. Had several Skype sessions after class got done, and am now home taking care of a million things.
So, because it is so ridiculous, I have a list of all problems that have occurred in our apartment since our arrival:
1. The shelves on the inside of our fridge fell off and had to be replaced
2. We are currently on our 4th DVD player - the first 3 either didn't have sound, didn't show an image, or didn't hook up to our TV
3. We were given 3 batteries for 2 remotes...meaning we had to switch batteries back and forth if we needed 2 remotes at once
4. Our dishwasher wouldn't run, buuuut that was more our fault
5. The upstairs air conditioning stopped working
6. The downstairs air conditioning vent is (as we speak) leaking all over the carpet and creating a giant puddle
7. The washer stopped working, to the point where they literally hauled a new washer up to our room
In their defense, all of our problems have been resolved relatively quickly and with many apologies and we have called them for a dumb thing or two (such as the time when I couldn't get the drain to open in the sink...or when we couldn't turn the oven on).
There's a reason why "Go one day without calling the front desk about something" was on our bucket list. It has been achieved approximately twice.
We're so independent, right? :)
G'Day Bailey! Always great to see another post. I am just laughing at all of the apartment hassles that you have experienced thus far. This all sounds so unreal. It is such a good thing that you and your roomies are so resourceful. You gotta love all of this independence!! Have a "golden" rest of your week. I am sure you are very anxious for spring break. During all of this "free" time that you are experiencing, there is no reason why you shouldn't go hug a Kinkajou. Love you, dad
