Ok I know technically this entry is a little late but it's because I've been busy... Anyway... on Tuesday we heard that there was going to be a street party and we weren't actually sure what time it started or would end so we just decided to go when everyone was done with dinner... We were all so hyped up but when we got there the people were already cleaning up... We were so dissapointed... So we just ended up walking around and talking... the only partially interesting thing we saw was the people doing the Urban Dream which is this 4 people who are locked in the display glass in front of the Myers Store until the end of the Commonwealth Games... to live and sleep in there... pretty cool... Then on Wednesday... we all had planned to go to watch the opening ceremony at Federation Square... initially we all wanted to go early so we would get a good view but ened up everyone got ready quite late... and when we got there... most of Melbourne was already there... But still we managed to get a spot with a good view of the giant screen... After a long while of waiting for the ceremony to start... we then only decided to head to the Yarra to watch the water show and fireworks... but our plan backfired and we were left in a huge crowd of people who were all blocking our view... so we just walked back and forth trying our best to find a good spot watch and then we just got so tired of trying to watch on toes... be decided to go back to the giant screen... but the guys got restless after a while and decided to go to a bar to watch it instead so they can have a drink as well... so we went to 6 Links... a pretty nice bar... to watch the rest of the ceremony... pretty crazy night... but fun... Man the people in O'Connell Residence are crazy... but I'm loving it... Oh and hope everyone enjoyed St. Patrick's Day... Cheers...
