May 15

I'm so relieved not to have to do any assignments for a while and just get to enjoy my boyfriend while he's here. I have been so excited since I moved here to show him around the city because I always thought he would really like it, the architecture, etc. So, we headed down to the South Bank to the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA). Unfortunately, it was in the process of changing exhibits, so there wasn't much to see. We went to the state library where I picked up a CD of my great-grandfather's photograph taken from Kangaroo Point. Then we ate a snack and checked out the bridge right there. Walked down the South Bank, then back across the river, into the city and Queen Street Mall. Got a smoothie and bussed home. My mom wanted to treat us to a nice dinner, so we went to Park Road and ate at a Mediterranean place that has delicious Sangria. I ate Paella and he had Risotto. Both were good. I am already having such a good time with him here.
