goingtothecasino asked: The ask link on the side of your page doesn't work properly. Making me type it out *shakes fist* Anyway, how's Canberra? Do you miss Noosa and the people there? You're studying over there right? Tell me everything you hipster god!
Its been really chilled actually. Having the greatest time, in my own style. I travelled Europe without really sight seeing, and now I’m just living in a new city by just chilling with people all the time, and generating - and ergo living, this really laid back frame of reality.
My ritual for these present weeks before moving into the university college (yes, I’m studying Bachelor of Arts/Economics @ ANU) has been.. ughh so good.
I get up, at like 10. The window in my room faces east, and so the sun is like warming me, and waking me, to let me go back to sleep. Best feeling ever, like the greatest sleep-in. And then I chill for a bit at home, clean (two people can create a fair bit of mess…), and then head out by bicycle into the city, which is 5ks away. Cruisy going down to the city, but coming back up (my suburb is the only hilly one in canberra, I swear) is a bitch.
Anyway, I beeline it to Tonic, one of 3 of the best cafes in Canberra, and chill at the outside coffee window, learning the expert coffee skills from the baristas there, who’ve like taken me under their wings in coffee, bicycles and partying. Great guys. Once I’ve had like 3 coffee for free there, I head over to where my roomie/best friend works, another ultimate cafe, so beautiful. Usually have a cold drip coffee there (google that shit = amazing), and chill there until he gets off work, and then we do whatever. Usually he heads off to the gym, so I explore a bit, like I rode around the university. So fucking massive. But beautiful.
And thats pretty much it. I ride home, sometimes to head out again, for dinner. We rode 10ks one way to an ‘iconic’ burger van on the south side to find it is moving and is closed at the moment. So we had to ride to the city for dinner. That day I rode over 30ks.
Got a few social venues to attend in the next two days, including a fortnightly hipster party called Purple Sneakers at some bar. And I’ve got my trial shift at well, at a cafe. And hopefully I’ll get another job.
But, I totally don’t need money. Because I’ve moved 1000ks to live here, I get $550 a fortnight youth allowance, and a $5000 relocation scholarship. Booyah!
