Like most other university's, Monash has a few different residential halls. However, unlike in the states it is much, much more common for people to live off campus and commute to school. Those who chose to live on campus generally live pretty far from home and therefore have no other option. At Monash there are five different halls that you could be placed in and I could not be any happier with my hall! After a few weeks I have definitely developed a strong love for my hall- Richo! Everyone here gets along really well and with a large common room and kitchen it is pretty easy for everyone to become good friends.
Last night Richo sponsored a bbq and a hall party for all of the residents. The theme of the party was "rubik's cube". I personally have never heard of this before but the concept is actually really cool. Everyone has to show up in a bunch of different crazy colors and then before the night is over everyone must be in one solid color. Everyone showed up looking hysterical and left looking even better. It was really entertaining!
Stevie I love reading your blog posts! They are colorful and creative and I can just picture you having the best time abroad! I laughed when I read the title of this post because just last week in Spain one of our favorite hot-spots hosted a rubiks cube party. From your pictures it looks like the party you attended was much more successful then ours. The bar hosting the event is pretty popular, by this I mean, more then Loyola students frequent it. Despite the owner having sent out party invites and instructions to everybody only we Loyolians dressed the part. Imagine my surprise when I showed up as a rainbow and my spanish comrades matched as usual.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, this along with your other posts is great! You have a descriptive writing style and I love how you have incorporated so many photos. Your blog has inspired me to re-vamp my own so that people can see exactly what I'm up to, from photos. Happy blogging!
