Ooops, my bad

Don't laugh and don't judge, because the reason I couldn't post last night was because I was trying to plug in a blow dryer to the converter I have and it sparked and blew up a few sparks and all the outlets in our apartment were shut off including for the internet. Gabby fixed it today.

The night before last night we all went out on the town it was a blast. We went to Kings Cross, which is about a 5 minute train ride into an area known for clubs and whatever else might strike your fancy. We went to a club called The Bank which was a lot of fun and the club owner gave all 18 of us that went out, free shots when we came in. We danced there a while and then were escorted by a security guard on the street to a bar across the street.

 It was a hotel but I believe the club name inside was the Ivy. The ceiling was absolutely covered in different size disco balls wherever there wasn't already ivy covering a hanging down from the ceiling. The club had big chandeliers that were lit up with all different colors, a huge oval bar in the middle of the club, music videos showing on blank walls, and tons of mirrors reflecting the crazy assortment of lights they had going. The DJ played all american music and when "California Girls" came on, it was just a blissful moment.
We received a shout out from the DJ and when I went to the bar I met a girl form New Jersey who use to play lacrosse at Cornell but she had to quit due to major arm surgery.

 We decided to leave as a group to go home, but then a couple people wanted to stay out so I went with Gabby, AJ, Ryan and Olivia to this bar that looked awesome because of all the lights coming out of the windows up this hug set of stairs. After paying the cheap cover, Ryan, Gabby and I were in when we saw Olivia and AJ get stopped at the entrance. Turns out the bouncer wouldn't let AJ in because he was underdressed hahaha. It was quite funny at the time. After entering the club, now just the four of us, we quickly noticed we were in an older bar where everyone was dressed in suits. Trying to make the most of our money we danced a little bit and saw a few people our age wander in and out. This one guy around our age was running around the club spinning the hanging disco balls with his hand when one fell and hit Olivia in the head. It was pretty hysterical and the guy felt pretty bad.

 We left the club and jumped on the bus back to Bondi Juntion when we saw our group mates Brenna and Ashley jumping on the bus too because they went to a different club. We were talking to some other study aboad guys on the bus that were from Italy and Hawaii and were enjoying all the surfing down at Bondi. I told them my old government teacher has a brother who surfs and asked them if they knew, Rob Machado, and they just flipped haha.

We got back to the apartments around 3am and then I skyped my Dad for a little bit to fill him in because he HASN"T been reading my BLOG!!
 I then crashed and we woke up and went to the gym to get our membership and this new gym is AWESOME!! After doing a little extra grocery shopping and showering after our workout, we got ready and walked down Oxford street which has a ton of shopping!! I didn't buy a thing but lemme tell you, the amount of shoe shops in this city is just unreal and I hope I don't snap and buy a ton.


Last night we went out again as a group and got into a bar for free down on Oxford street. Our friend Ryan competed in the Michael Jackson contest on stage and we all lost our voices screaming for him. He then did a backflip on this small stage and every started chanting USA USA USA!! He won some trip to some place, but I couldn't hear him. After a while Adelle, Desiree, Brent and Zach went to a gay bar which is really expensive to get in and Zach ripped his pants all the way down dancing!! Ha he was a good sport about it. Today we're going to go to a Zumba class at our gym around the corner and I'm gonna go cook up some eggs. Have a great day!

Love,

ME
