Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve seemed like a normal day and seemed a lot like how it does in America. For me it always goes by so slowly until the night. We went to Christmas Eve service at the church and then we came home and watched the Christmas carols in Melbourne on the tv. my next host sister Alice was singing in it. she has sung in that choir for many many years now.

Candle Light Christmas Carols

Tonight at 9 the town had their annual candle light Christmas carols. basically the town gets together and sings christmas carols. and a few people sing. I was asked to sing, so i went and sand oh come all ye faithful. and they introduced me as the exchange kids from upstate NY, well a bit different then that but they mentioned that. The newspaper guy took a ton of photos when i was singing. then later on. zoe and i were laying singing the carols and using these glow candle things that we got as light. And the photographer came and got a photo. Susan said she think's well be front page of next weeks newspaper! :D we'll find out! It was amazing the fact that after the carols we got to see fireworks! its the 23rd of December and were seeing fireworks!!! and it was 90 degrees at 10:30at night still! thats insane!

Past Friday

So this past friday Zoe and i took the bus to shepparton where we shopped till we dropped. Literally. We shopped all day. got these matching robes, shorts, and flipflop slippers. It was great! we got ice-cream, tons of food, and we were in target and seriously we dropped. we saw a bench and just got there and sat there. were soooo buggered.

The Tarp is MELTING!!!!

So today Zoe, Kyra and i were on our way to subway. And when we crossed the street our shoes were getting stuck to the ground. we had to wait to get across the second half of the street. and we were stepping fast so we dont stick. then we ran across, since i was wearing thongs(flip fops) zoe was wearing sandals and kyra was wearing crocs, they all would stick easily. unfortunally subway was closed. so we had to go to the supermarket and get chocolate instead.
