Best and Worst: How's your week been?

Welcome to Mamamia’s Best and Worst.

It’s the time of the week where we debrief as a community after a long, hard week and look forward to the weekend.

If you’re new here, this is how it goes: I tell you the best and worst parts of my week. Then it’s your turn.

Now please, take a seat, and allow me to waffle on about my life.

Best:

This week, I turned 21.

Wooo happy ‘I can get drunk legally in the US’ day to me!

I’ve spent my first week as a 21-year-old alone in a faraway place. You see, I’m a Melbourne native who’s hanging out here in Sydney while I intern for the babes at Mamamia.

So naturally, I’ve been exploring.

Just a gal and her bridge.

I did the ‘Toyota jump’ in front of the bridge. I caught the ferry to Manly and realised that I’m not as immune to seasickness as I thought. I had high-tea with my wonderful Mum who came up to visit me over the weekend. I ate the tastiest corn covered in chilli-mayo and copious amounts of parmesan. I ate a cronut that tasted like sugar and calories and all the other great things life has to offer.

In more serious news – I’m willing to call it – Sydney is the home to the best burger I’ve ever eaten, and I’ve eaten a lot of burgers.

Basically, the best thing about my week was food. So it was pretty much a stock-standard seven days for me.

Worst:

Earlier in the week I was forced to pay a visit to the Apple Genius Bar after work due to a piece of misbehaving technology.

I made the trudging journey from the Mamamia offices all the way to the heart of the CBD, filled with positivity and satisfaction after a long working day. The sun was out, my walk was nothing but pleasant. Until a kind lady stopped me to let me know that the rudest bird of all time had decided to do a massive poo on my back, and she thought I should know about it.

The highest of teas.

While I was in the dark depths of the McDonald’s toilets, scrubbing my favourite white lace shirt with wet toilet paper, I decided it was not the night to take on Apple, I would go and get sushi to console myself instead.

To make matters worse the sushi was terrible. I would go so far as to say inedible.

Sometimes it’s the ones we love who hurt us the most.

So I went to the supermarket, bought a pack of Maltesers and hauled my poo-covered self onto the bus home.

Your turn! Tell us the best and worst of your week.
