just like the real world...

saturday night a bunch of us decided to check out some of the clubs around darling harbour (where the real world house was... so they probably went to these clubs. haha)
here are the reasons why clubbing in australia is a million times better than clubbing in america:
1-it's free! (i don't think all of them are but we went to 2 different ones that both were... and people said most of the other ones are too)
2-they're not filled with sketchy creepers. of course there are a few (it wouldn't be a club without them...), but even the creepers will leave you alone if you tell them to.
3-the girls here basically don't dance, and when they do it's pretty much just bobbing up and down or swaying a little bit. so you don't have all the sick grinding and exchanging of body odor that you would find in any US club.
4-they are actually just a bar with a dance floor as opposed to the other way around. so there are places to just sit and hang out...
5 (this is my favorite)- in the middle of the dance floor of this pretty classy club there are 2 TVs. one is showing rugby, and the other is showing cricket. hahahaha... these aussies love their sport!

on sunday i finally got to check out hillsong (if you don't know what hillsong is, you can assume that probably at least 50% of the worship music you sing at your church originated there. it's a pretty big deal church...) they actually have 3 campuses: the hills (which is the original and biggest), the city (which i went to) and they just opened another at bondi junction (in a movie theater right by the famous bondi beach). i still definitely want to go to the hills one, but the city one was cool. it actually reminded me a lot of flatirons and made me miss it. the message was really good (it was about faith and good deeds and how we should do good deeds because of our faith and not because we have to.) and the worship was definitely worth going there for. then on sunday night we went to this tiny anglican church, where everyone was super nice and cool. i will most likely be going back there at least next week, if not more.
yesterday i got to go work at st. mary's again, and it was fun hanging out with all the old people some more!
that's pretty much it for now...
