So today went better.
I woke up at like 7-ish and Skyped my mom right away. I love that I can talk to my 'rents whenever I want. We talked for a little while and then I went and had breakfast, and set out into the world that is Newcastle. I set up my bank account, and went shopping for necessities. GOOD NEWS: FOUND A PILLOW! And sheets that fit my bed! HOORAY! I'll never take that for granted ever again. Plus I found towels, and a really cheap store that has like all the essential stuff I need- minus a fan. I really really need a fan, but the only one I found was in a department store and it was $250!!! Like what?! I will not justify spending $250 on a fan. I'm going to keep looking.
But I did find a really cute part of town with good shopping- a place with scarves Linds!! :) And I hung out there for a little while. I really do need friends though haha. I'll work on that. I have to be overly friendly and outgoing. Hm..
But I got my credit card to work- thank GOD. I was so scared about that, and then the pillow shop lady helped me figure it out, and when I said thanks, she said 'you right!' (which means like you're all right, or you're welcome.) It was so Aussie! :)
I'd totally love to Skype with everyone back home, so you should let me know if you can or not. I'm still working on getting a phone, and stocking up on basic groceries. I got Nutella though, so life is good right now. Awhile ago I watched the Olympic opening ceremony with my parents through Skype. I watched it on my TV at home and got to see my fuzzy blonde doggie. :) It was good to do that.
Anywhoooo, keep in touch with me you guys, I love love love hearing from you.
Send me some of that Minnesota/Iowa windchill... I need it!! (Who would have thought I'd EVER say that!?)
Love youuuuuuuu.
