(TMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!: I am like a bit tipsy when I am wiriting this right now so if I write something a bit more weird than before (as if that is possible) you know why....)
Interesting Events
I have a lot to write about right now, so I am just going to take out the good bits.
So we had this free wine and cheese night and then traffic-light party on Wednesday, and I just love dancing here, they have the same songs as in Sweden (obv not Victor Leksell, Molly Sanden etc, but I mean it is fine.)
Today was probably my best day in Sydney so far. We had an information session in the morning and put up our bank cards and everything (just doing practical stuff that I have been a bit worried about before). And then we went on a boat cruise, and I was just so happy. Everyone was in a good mood, and everyone was nice. And I mean it was not just the alcohol, it was everything: the nice view, the waves coming in, the mutual feeling of -I am on top of the world-. (Personal comment: I just hit me that like a year ago, on a Friday at the same time, I would be sitting down with my history textbook (literally the most boring book I have ever read, love Drottning Kristina though) and just powering my way through. Like, I clearly need this trip.)
The BBQ on the boat-cruise was great (I got a gluten-free option!!), the water was like the perfect temperature and I did not think for more than like two seconds about how my body looked (!!!! (if ykyk)) and tonight I am going out again. OBS: Mum, do not worry, I have been out four nights in a row, and I will go out tomorrow as well, but tomorrow will probably be the only night that I am out past midnight, and I have not been drinking much at all.
Special Moods
I feel like I have adjusted myself a lot more now. I know that it has only been a few days, but I feel like I can manage the practical stuff a lot better, and I understand the vibe at the hostel in a whole other way. One of many things that I have realized is that it is a lot easier to get to know and connect to people who are not native speakers. I have met a lot of Germans and Deutch (how do you spell that??) people, and I just vibe with them a lot more than the others, since they are like me: forgetting a word, needing to think about it, and then just laughing at themselves afterward. Like, do not get me wrong, I love everyone here, but the native English speakers (especially those with a strange accent), are just speaking way too fast and with a lot of strange words. (Tbh I don't even know if the native speakers understand each other sometimes... but that is a whole other topic.) So I just love talking to non-native speakers and speaking to my Swedish friend especially is THE BEST (you just get to relax and be sarcastic, joke around, and be yourself 100%.)
I have so much more to experience and learn though! (Both socially and practically.) That is like the only thing that you can actually learn I guess; the fact that you know absolutely nothing about anything.

Special bonds
I met two german girlies today, and they were just great, I feel like I have really connected with them. They kind of remind me of my friends back home, so that is great! One of them just loved the idea of Smiling Tums (that one is for you Alice).
Summary
I am a bit "liten&lost" as we say in Sweden, but I like it. I have had a great day today, that is about it. I love Sydney! It is so beautiful and cool!! A boat cruise stands above everything.
Love,
Bella💓
