13 March Part Two: Pictures
1. Flatmates and I out on the town for Australia Day (like their 4th of July). From left: Deirdre, Caroline, me and Mimi. Can you even believe how adorable we are?
Deirdre, the gorgeous redhead, is 28 and originally from New York, although she has lived in Paris for the past few years. She is hilarious, very talkative, and caring. She's also pretty much the mom of our group. She tells us what to do and we pretty much do it, even if we grumble the entire time haha. She says she's only staying one year, but we are all doing our best to convince her to stay longer.
Caroline, the adorable curly-haired blonde, is 18 and from Austin, Texas. She is the heart of our group, kind of the glue that keeps us together. She is honestly the funniest, kindest, and sweetiest person I have ever met. She and I have so much in common--we like a lot of the same things, we watch all the same TV shows, etc.
Mimi (her real name is Myriah--isn't that pretty?) is my actual roommate. She's from California and let me tell you, she is perfect*. She is 18--but very mature for her age--a very talented singer/songwriter/musician and also very humble. She has this innate spark in her that just draws people to her. Mimi has the best taste in music of absolutely anyone ever (excepting myself, of course!), and has introduced me to so many cool artists and bands. I, in turn, have been showing her new stuff, too.
So there you have it, the girls of the 234 (our flat number).
*Disclaimer: Mimi is not actually perfect.
2 - 3. Fireworks in Darling Harbour, about a 40 minute walk from my flat
4. First day of classes! From left: Me, Caroline, Deirdre, Mimi.
5. Being silly at the cheapest restaurant in Coogee Beach. We actually are adults. From left: Mimi, Caroline, me.
6. Hanging out at the beach AT NIGHT. Deirdre's on my left, Mimi on my right.
7. At the beach (again) with some friends from school. From left, front row: Deirdre, Anna (she's from Ireland and has such a beautiful accent, sometimes I just make her talk so I can hear it), Mimi, and Caroline. From left, back row: me, Amy (she's from England and I like hearing her talk, too, althought sometimes she talks SUPER FAST and I'm like, whoa, slow down!), and Mallory (she's from Washington State and is basically the coolest).
yay pictures
