So, last night, as I was struggling to sleep between coughing outbursts, a robbery takes place in my unit. Not okay and scary as hell. I wake up again at about 4 am to all this loud movement downstairs and I just figure it's someone coming home drunk even though I can't figure out who it would be. As I was getting ready to go down to ask them if they had any cough medicine, I realize "hey, those kids don't live here AND they are stealing our stuff!!" I realized this when I looked out my window and saw one of our microwaves on the picnic bench with someones 4 pack on top of it. So between their trips back and forth (I could see because they were right below my window), I call campus security and they come about 5 minutes after the boys' last trip and then the "guard" makes a very 'I'm bothered to even come over here, there isn't anything here' type phone call. Then he bangs on the front door. I'm sorry, I am absolutely NOT going to answer that. Idiot. This is why I always lock my door. Yup. So security guard bounces and doesn't report anything because they think its a false alarm and don't take the time to actually look around. I dunno, maybe two microwaves missing, a DVD player missing, and THE HUGE WINDOW SCREEN on the ground might give you a clue. I understand that they didn't know we had microwaves or a dvd player (although in my opinion they should be somewhat familiar with their surroundings if they are indeed campus security) but obviously something had happened.
An upsetting idea is that they scratched up our new flatscreen! Stealing for money is one thing, vandalizing and to be a douche is another. Come on guys, stealing etiquette. AND I just found out they took my straightener! Blasted.
P.S. The 'Coppers' are funny and there is a detective here.

It's been heaps too long
So I lack regularity and therefore don't post as often as I should. Its been a few weeks so to sum up what has happened:
1. Orientation in Lorne- CRAZY! and fun. I believe the lack of sleep and large amounts of physical activity (boot camp on the beach, mountain biking, surfing, and hiking everywhere) was the onset of my current sickness. Some CEO of a company kept buying my group of friends drinks and by the end, he had opened up a few thousand dollar tab and it turned into an open bar for all. Goodness. Thank you Simon! Also, if they fed us another veggie sandwich I was going to lose it.
2. A l'il mall outting with a bunch of the internationals turns into Ed Hardy rockstar bowling. Then a trip to Young and Jacksons (fave bar thus far) and caught a bit of a short film festi happening in an outdoor park. Nice taste of some Aussie cultch
3. Bus tour of Melbourne-quite enjoyable. Went to the Eureka tower and overlooked the city. SO AMAZING! I didn't realize it was located right on the beach- beautiful and big; over 3 million peeps! Also hit the Melb Museum. Yeah, kinda what you would expect. Although it does have the world's 3rd largest IMAX screen and we are planning on going to see Alice in Wonderland on it tomorrow.. Gotta buy those tickets asap..
4. Then a night out on the town. A big group of us went together and we all slowly lost each other, but managed to make it home fine. Completely over the first bar but after a stop at Subway and another stop at Macca's (because Subway was highly unsatisfactory), and the hitting on of a group of boys, we found our way to Young and Jacksons yet again. I am a tool and proceeded to write three of the staff a note on a napkin. Nothing says classy like a "call me" on a napkin..
5.Then HEY! I'm 21! Go me. Everyone here was so so ready to wish me a happy birthday and were really concerned to make it a good one. This eventful day of mine (which was actually a series of three days because of O-week) happened to fall on one of the biggest parties put on by the Uni. It was a beach themed party. So FUN! Met some interesting people, and danced my night away with my homies.
6.Then another themed party after another themed party took place and they were not as exciting, potentially because of the fact that it was no longer my existence's biggest birthday.
7. Finally, there was the hazing of the first years that took place at 5:30 in the morning yest. Pretty sure I am older than all or most of the RA's that were our 'bully's'. Funny. But between running mult miles through the city in garbage bags and party hats, eating a pepper, ghosting and scaring people, being pelted with eggs and flour, and the incessant heat, I am a tired gurl.
Yes this was long, but I was forced to compress 2 weeks of the best time of my life!
