heystasaSo, I'm back in Sydney at the moment, and the day before yesterday I got lost. For two hours. I really did think I was getting the hang of the City and the suburbs surrounding the uni, but somehow I ended up at Darling Harbour from Glebe Point. I really don't know how I managed it. I was laughing the whole time and saying things like 'Oh my God I'm in Ultimo, what the hell hapened to Glebe?!', 'the Powerhouse Museum, what?! Where's Broadway?!', and 'If I get robbed I'm going to be so annoyed!' because I rather think that if I hadn't started laughing I would have started hypervenilating. My feet still hurt. No more shortcuts without a map.
Amazingly, the next day when I had to get to the NSW Lotteries headquarters at Olymipic Park, I didn't have any trouble at all. Thank God for public transport.
Today Mum arrived for a conference and I went to look at the hotel. She's staying at the Intercontinental, one of the swankier hotels in Sydney. I know this because it's right near Circular Quay and there's a bloke who opens the door of your car and offers to carry your bags (also, it's where George Bush stayed during APEC. I may not like the man, but by god does someone on his staff have fine taste in hotels). It is awesome. So I'm at the counter with Mum, happy as anything and giggling madly at how fabulous everything looks, and I turn around and the lads from Human Nature are standing over in the hallway. Needless to say, I cracked up. I am loving my trip to Sydney.
Also, love the fact that I am able to have a holiday in the same place that I spent the entire year of Uni in.
