Under Pressure

Six classes?? My god you're such an ambitious student!! I only have four and I'm drowning in assignments, hw and readings at the moment!! I know what you mean about liking the pressure of having to accomplish something - I like that pressure to - as long as the pressure doesn't exceed ginormous measures... I miss you, my friends all over the world and my family a lot and school and work def keeps things rolling a little better. I've found some amazing people down here that I love to hang out with - but I miss my old friends too.. I would do anything for a fika with you right now!!! 

Tell me more about your exchange student!! :) 

Love you! xoxo

School American Style "finger to eyebrow"

Love, I am so glad to hear that you got the job!! =)
These days, I wish I had your determination to find a job..but i simply don't feel like job searching. I am very grateful that my parents are okay with me not really working this semester. But before I get into all my school stuff I want to know what you did for your Birthday. I know it was a while ago but we haven't really spoken to each other in a while. I bought those triple Oreo's i'm going to send you. Hopefully they will be in the mail by tomorrow. I am not sure if you will like them because they are a bit sweet but they are so different form the one's in the past that you must try them at lest once. Plus, if you don't like them I am sure the kangaroo's will enjoy them lol =).
I started school last week. I love it!! I love feeling the pressure of having to get something done and having things to do everyday other than party. But it is a bitter sweetness since it is the anniversary of my first full day in Europe. I celebrated by not remembering, running late to my bio class, and having the worst lab. The good thing about facebook is that everyone is mentioning last year lol.
My bio class is going to be so much fun, I think?! You know I love these different classes and learning things that I hadn't studied before. This specific bio class is about human biology and the teacher has a P.HD in neuroscience and biochem, something around those lines. Anyways, that is only one of my 6 classes. Thank God I love school. 
I have also been spending a lot of time with my international student. She is great! I took her shopping this weekend. Amazing sales, I must say. She also got to meet most of my family and she and her friend (also exchange student from Spain) stayed the night at my house. I think they liked my parents and the house. As far as my brother goes, I think they like him too. It was great having them here but sometimes I wish you could be here meeting my parents and staying the night. The same for the rest of my friends that are in Europe. I want them to be here so bad. Another plus side of having such a busy school schedule means that I don't have time to be wishing I was back in Europe, there is only extra space in my head for missing you guys and nothing more.
I want to hear more about Assie life and your amazing details!!
love you and miss you

Yaaay!

Love, I got the job!!! I came in for my training yesterday and they wanted me to stay :)) I took a picture of the dress that I work in at Stingray the first night I was there. It's a bit blurry cause I'm in the dressing room at work but I'll take better later :) and you can google QT Gold Coast + Stingray and you can see what the place looks like. I think the address is something like http://qtgoldcoast.com.au but I'm not sure (on my phone right now). Anyway. I have only told a few people yet and I wanted you to be one of the first ones I told :))

Pre-birthday jitters

Hey love :) I can imagine it being weird going out at home again after a year in Europe. I remember when I got back to Europe from the US and I hated it. I even called one of my besties up (who I wasn't out with that night) and told him about everything that was wrong with Sweden... Haha. I guess it takes some time getting used to what you've grown up with once you get back from an experience like ours..

Has your Spanish girl gotten over the food-sickness yet?? Is she enjoying her stay so far??

Tomorrow is my birthday and it feels pretty strange to be honest with you.. I mean I have spent several bdays abroad, but it's always a little weird when you're still new to a place and you're not SUPER close to people yet.. You don't want to force people to celebrate your day, at the same time you kind of want everyone to just be there for you and celebrate your special day.. You know what I mean? I'm def one of those kids who milks their bday to the fullest. If someone doesn't want to do something I'm like: But it's my biiiirthday :O hahaha. ok. I've only really milked it with my family and Liam. But still. My bday is very special to me. My mom is staying up late tonight so she can say Happy Birthday to me when I wake up tmrw.. I'm so happy I'll get to see her face :)

Are you excited about starting school tmrw?? What classes are you taking this semester?

I'm not entirely sure what's going on with that job actually. The boss called me Friday night and said he wants me to come in on Thursday night.. But I didn't get if he wanted me to come in for more training (as in I got it) or for another trial... So we'll see on Thur night I guess :P

Love you, babe! Ttys :)

Crazy El Paso!!

Love...you are very right, Skype Fika is way over due. Some time next weekend would be perfect for me?! I finally went out last night for the first time since i have been home lol. It was crazy!!! The girls danced so nasty, and the boys , lets just say no my type. lol lol!! the craziest part was when some girls started fighting in the middle of the dance floor..i mean like punching each other and pulling each other hair. It was so strange for me. But I have to admit it was fun, i bumped into an old high school friend and an old co-worker. It was nice to see familiar faces.
I have been spending so much time with Angie, she has been a great since I arrived!! She comes to my house every other day and we go to Las Cruces together =)!! Plus she understands me more than anyone over here these days. My international student arrived on Wed. Her name is Maria. She is like my little-live-piece of Europe for the next nine months. I hope she likes it here but I think it will be hard for them to adjust. She is under 21 and can't drink and the 18 and over clubs aren't so good here. plus we get IDed everywhere we go. But I am sure we can find a way for them to have a blast here =)!
I start school on Wed, I am so excited. I think i will join a fraternity and find a place where I can do some community service.
I want to know if you got the job wearing high heels =)!!
I am sure you are doing well and having an amazing time!!
Love you
xoxo

Cause I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it ;)

Hey love!
I realize I've been super bad at writing here in the past couple of weeks. It's just been hard trying to get everything together when you're in a new place.. I hope you're doing well! A need a long Skype fika with you soon. It's way overdue!!

How's everything coming along with school? Has your mentoree arrived yet? I can't believe we're in the middle of August!! It's been almost a year since we first met. Can you believe that?? I know both of us have done a ton of things since then, but it still doesn't feel that long ago (except it also does :p ).

I'm on trial for a job at a lounge bar on Wed and I think they're gonna ask me to walk in heels. Haha. You know I never do. It'll def be an interesting experience. I hope I don't fall flat on my face :p

Anyway. About to head out for dinner. Talk to you soon, I hope :)
Love you!!
