Happy Holidays Everyone!
Ella can officially start playing her Christmas music! Even tho I bet she has been at it since the first snow fall. For the past 5 years I have been away from home on Thanksgiving so this year didn't seem all that strange to me. I made a pumpkin pie :) It tasted "normal" but not amazing. My roommate purchased the ingredients from the USA store because we couldn't find the stuff anywhere else! My endless search for Leffsa has still been unsuccessful but I'm not giving up just yet! In a city this big they have to have it somewhere....
Since it has been awhile since my last post I need to fill you all in on a few things!
1) The races: It was a BLAST! I only saw one horse because I was too busy being a social butterfly ha ha. A lot of stress went into picking out the right outfit but by the end of the day it didn't matter. My feet were KILLING me but I kept my heels on ALL DAY. The weather was gorgeous and I didn't lose any money.
2) The ZOO: Jules (my roommate) and I went to the Melbourne Zoo. I have some pictures that will be up sooner or later but you all know what a zoo is like so I wont go into detail.
3) Jr. Camp: For my internship I have been helping plan a camp for kids 4-8. The campers are kids with cancer and their siblings. I had a really good time on camp and met a lot of cool people. The kids were beyond cute. My favorite was a little girl named Ivy. She is four years old and just finished her second round of Chemo. She got tired a lot and I got to hold her and rub her back while the other kids played games. Needless to say,, I love her. We did a lot of fun activities and the kids had a great time.
4) Comedy club: I went to a comedy show the other night (my first). The guy does voices for family guy and American Dad. I am not a huge fan of these shows but he was funny. The person who opened for him asked the audience if there were any Americans in the crowd, I told the people I was with not to say anything but of course they did! So I was a small part of the show, answering questions and what not. My face was bright red the whole time and I thought I was going to throw up. After it was all over I ended up with 5 free tickets so it wasn;t the worst thing that has ever happened but really close.
There is a small update! I promise I will be better at posting more often. I miss everyone so much and I hope that your Thanksgiving is wonderful! p.s It was 90* on Tuesday! Its so strange having back to back summers! I miss wearing my leggings,boots,mittens,hat, scarf, and sweats while inside Melrose,, You don't know what you have until its gone. :) love you all xoxox
And remember its a jungle out there!
