I've arrived.

Finally! I am at the Sunshine Coast! I am at a hostel in a town called Mooloolaba. Jet lagged to 100% and feeling a bit sick but that is only to be expected. The flight from Abu Dhabi was over seventeen hours!! But we stopped in SINGAPORE!!! My first home, where I spent my childhood. I must admit when we arrived there tears filled my eyes. I practically ran off the plane and I just walked around for forty five minutes taking it all in. It smelled just as I remembered it, wonderful! Then from there it was 7 hours left and I watched Casablanca and Valentine's Day. When I arrived everything went smoothly and it was easy to find a bus, I literally just told them the adress of the hostel and they drove me to the door of the hostel. When I got here I smelled like a trashcan, looked like I had aged 10 years over night and it was so hot here! I went to the counter and they told me I couldn't check in for another two hours but a girl who was friends with one of the workers came up to me and said "you look like you need a drink" and handed me Somersby which is a Swedish cider. We started talking and she invited me to come along to her friends house, so I did and there were a few people there. Then we went to a restaurant and I ordered a lamb salad which was delicious! But after that I felt like the jet lag was getting the best of me so we went our separate ways. I went to buy a simcard for my phone which I am now trying to activate but it isn't all too easy. 

It is almost 6.30pm here and the sun is slowly going down. The weather is amazing! I am sitting in a mini dress right now and when I got here the girl who helped me out said "It's a shame that you arrived when we have such shitty weather". I was like what?! Shitty?! um... no! I can get used to this!! Tomorrow I am getting up early because Orientation week is starting so I want to be on time, I just hope I find my way. Then Bea is coming!! Woohoo so we are meeting up whenever I am done for the day. I can't wait to see her!!! Anyway, I am going to relax now and go to bed soon because I am EXHAUSTED!! Hope everyone out there has a good day!!
