Finally some action!

Well I finally have something interesting to say! A bunch have things have finally happened that are in any way worth mentioning! Lol, you guys are shocked, aren't you.

Well, let's see. Today Morgan, Taylor, and I went to the science museum and saw a great planetarium show! It was really a lot of fun, very hands on, and mostly for kids aged 3-8. Hahah. the sports section was the best, you got to do all these assessments, like check your balance, reflexes, how high you could jump. Pretty cool.. woulda been dream land if I were one of those little kiddies running around. We couldn't help but feel a little guilty not having a little child with us. We also saw a lightning show, which was not as amazing as it seemed, mostly because it smelled a lot like BO and was housed in what looked a little like a junk shed. But ah well, the planetarium show "Are We Alone" definitely made up for it. Tomorrow we might check out the IMax theater.

Last night we threw a surprise party for Chris, Loic, and Jason because their birthdays are all coming up next week. It was a tonnn of fun. We rented out this section of the huge bar-room down the road from us and for about $10 each we got the jukebox and continuous finger foods all night. Non-stop dancing, just what I've been craving. Some got a little too drunk (cough, Chris) and there was an accident involving Nate's shoulder being dislocated, it was a really fun night. But hey, it was his 21st, even if that doesn't mean anything in this country. The other two only just turned 20! Seems so young to me these days. Le sigh. lolol. It was even extra funny because all I had to drink all night was Red Bull, all I wanted to do was dance. Nessie didn't believe me since we were being pretty crazy and even were doing ballet in the middle of the room of which Sally took many the hilarious pics. But it was great. Definitely the night out I've been needing.

Other than that, nothing. Class has been a snooze fest. The guy's great and takes an almost excruciating care not to offend anyone, EVER, but in doing so makes one sentence last the length of five. Here is a typical sentence: "Think of a man, or a woman it doesn't really matter, not that women don't matter I just mean gender is irrelevant in this case, who is walking down the road, or it could be a path.." Oh man, my eyes droop just trying to make that sentence, I can't even finish it. One time he literally said "There was a garage behind the house, not that I need to tell you guys it was behind the house because I know you know garages are usually behind the house.." I was like are you serious.... We really don't offend that easy.. I really hate to say it but this month of class I really feel was almost a wasted month of my life, but I know at least I'm in Australia wasting it rather than Ithaca. But still, you know me. I like school, I like learning new things, and I can get pretty frustrated when I go and then don't learn anything. But enough complaining about that! I do love it here, I swear! I hope no one is reading this to decide whether or not to go on this program: DO IT! Don't listen to me! lolol

Tuesday is our last day of class and then we leave for Cairns that same afternoon for the week! Hurrah! The weather report says sunny all week in the 80s! Just what I need!

Oh, but I did lose my camera and it's never coming back.

So, ups and downs, but they do seem to level themselves out. That's all I got for ya. Happy early mother's day, Mom. I hope you liked and were surprised by the flowers ;) Xoxo

Laterrr
