The comforts of home: I wasnt able to bring many things from home that had sentimental value because of the luggage restrictions but I did manage to bring a few things. The small Legolas figurine was hand painted by my cousin Bryan and it means alot to me! Its only about the size of my thumb! But it sits on my Macbook and looks at me!
The Donkey, is actually a pez dispenser key chain my friend Kami gave me this year! It still holds my keys together.
And I also brought a
wooden desk plate that I got from my friend Heather last year that says "A clean desk is a sign of a sick mind!" The sign sits on my very messy desk!
Fruit and Veggie Co-op
So I got a great job at NUSA, the Newcastle University Student Association. One of the services they offer students is a Fruit and Veggie Co-op! I pay $10 before wednesday, and then thursday morning 2 guys from Nusa, Eduardo and Oscar go get fruit and veggies from the local farmers!
For $10 I got:
- 1 Pineapple
- 1 Eggplant
- 1 Spinach
- 1 Whole Garlic
- 2 Bell Peppers
- 4 Tomatoes
- 3 Onions
- 5 Oranges
- 4 Apples
- 3 Carrots
- 3 Zucchinis
- 8 Avocados
Its AMAZING isnt it! Great deal. And the selection varies every week with what is in season and what the good deals are! So fun!
Im going to make feta cheese and spinach rice, and some sort of eggplant dish tonight!
I have already had 2 omletes and used the avocados and tomatoes! Yumm
English, German and Korean
So as a way to help me learn German and Korean, we are putting the words on big pieces of paper around our place! These are in the kitchen!
Some of the signs are more practical then others! Overall they make great decorations!
