woot.

So I am listening to HSM. I love it. And last week was kind of ok. I was feeling kind of down because talking about home made me sad. Then I talked to my parents Saturday and was really happy about that. Then church made me feel really good. When I was there I just felt really at peace and I knew that I would be ok. I also think it's really cool that Mass is the same as it is back home. I mean, I always knew that it was the same, well, at least that is what everyone says. But being able to experience that is awesome, I think. And I will be going to a church in Singapore and possibly Hong Kong which makes it so much cooler.

Then after church Cynthia and I talked about our Melbourne plans and now I am super excited. We are going Wednesday to get the tickets and I am STOKED. Yea.

And today I had my India class again. Which wasn't so bad. That class is just ok, in case you haven't noticed. LOL. I mean, it won't be hard, so whatever! Then I had my anthropology class which honestly is more like a sociology class, IMO. There was a presentation today which was cool, but I feel like I don't really care or understand what we talk about. But I have to stick it out, so I will suck it up. And I talked with the two girls that I am doing our project with and they are really nice. I was asking her stuff about Australian Uni and she was asking me stuff about home. But, there were these annoying girls that were sitting behind me that talked the whole class and I wanted to punch them in the face. Really badly.

So then I came home and Hali and I went to Cole's and to get postcards. So I got three more. Yay. And I wore Hali's raybans. woot. That was exciting. I am thinking of buying some in Singapore. Because they are cheaper then back home. Hers were cute but I want the bigger wayfarers. And I took more pictures of campus which I can't put here because the internet here is ridiculous. Facebook!

grrr.

Hali, if you are reading this I HATEE YOU. We were supposed to go see Heath today. But Hali is the lamest person ever. But we are going to watch Johnny Depp and She's the Man to make it up to me, LOL. But "supposedly" we are going next Saturday. Anyways, yesterday I had my India history class which is just an ok class. But all I have to do for that class is write one paper and do this journal thing, which is basically composed of the question in the tutorial book and the lecture notes so it's basically really easy. So I am not worried about passing. I am still kind of confused on the grading system here but I guess I will find out eventually. And I met this girl who goes to school in TEXAS and we talked about school and Tim Tebow (haha) and football and stuff and it made me miss Gainesville for a little bit. Just a bit. But I am ok now! haha. Later I told Hali all about Tim Tebow and how much I love him. It was funny.

And I still can't decide about my plans for the break. Hali is going to Hong Kong and asked if I wanted to come with her and I can't decide what I want to do. We would go to Hong Kong on Saturday then go to Singapore on Thursday. Then I figured I would go to New Zealand on the next Tuesday then come back to Perth on Saturday. But so far I have no one to go to New Zeland with, which is not nice. Hali's friend is coming here and she said that he wants to travel and told me I should go with him but he sounds CREEPY. lol. But he is English. Which is pretty awesome. But not as awesome as being Australian, that's for sure!

today.

I have currently just finished listening to "Bet on It" by ZAC EFRON (which is the most EPIC song ever) and now I am listening to "Can I Have This Dance" by Zac and Vanessa (which is so cute!). And today was nothing special I guess. I slept til like 10ish. I didn't have class until 1. So I ate some toast and did some homework for tomorrow. I was going to do it after my classes but then I realized that I had class til 8 and I probably wouldn't be in the mood to so much work. So in Australian Studies we talked about aborigines and how they have been treated and stuff. It's basically the same as we did with the Indians. Every country has stuff like that in their past. All the kids from Canada think they are so cool because their country is a lot like Australia. Lame. Canada is lame. haha.

And in Creative Writing we just did some writing exercises. Basically. And my first one I thought was good but my second one was so lame. And for next week we have to find an ad for something odd. Cool. Oh, and some girl in that class told me I had gorgeous hair which was really nice. : ) And Sam's story made me laugh all day. haha.

Some more weird things Aussie's do - they don't say anything to you when you sneeze. Which is odd. I think!

i love to sing miley!

Soo, right now I am listening to "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Miley Cyrus. I love her version. A lot. And today was kind of boring since I didn't have class or anything. I made a hamburger for lunch, woo. And I ate a carrot. But, um, they have "baby" carrots, but in reality they just look like midget carrots, not like baby carrots back home. It's weird. But yea, I am awesome. So then after lunch I went to the library because I don't have a book I need for a class and I had some reading to do. So I went to get it but it's only a 3 hour loan because it's a "reserve" book. So I sat there and read my chapter. But on the way to campus I walked with Hali because she had class at 2 and we were singing Miley Cyrus and it was epic. I was impressed with my knowledge, haha. I also sang some HSM, which was just as awesome. Then I came back and made some pasta for dinner. And I read some Harry Potter. Then I watched some House. Yay. I had already seen it but I always love House. AND I have someone to go with me to Melbourne so I am super excited! BUT - ZAC EFRON is going to be in Melbourne and Sydney next week and I REALLY want to go but it's really short notice. But when I heard that he was coming I had a little teenie attack, lol. I mean, I am meeting Kellan soon but ZAC EFRON!! He is awesome. So tomorrow I have two 3 hour classes. Awesome.

Oh, and last night I watched Ned Kelly with Heath Ledger (RIP) and Orlando Bloom. It was SO SAD. I am not going to lie - I cried at the end. The end was too sad. Especially since it was HEATH. Who is dead. BUT on Saturday Hali and I are going to see his ashes. woot. And probably go to Fremantle since the cemetery is close to there. And it's not like we are going to spend hours at some one's grave.

yesterday.

I am currently listening to "Goodbye" by Audio Adrenaline. Yup. Anyways, yesterday I finally had all my classes. And I basically hated the art class. It is all about looking at pieces and figuring out what they mean and stuff and I do not like that. So that is the class I will be dropping. I feel really bad though because to get registered for the class I had to see some guy and he had to print out all this stuff for me and give me a writing test to make sure I can write in English. It was intense. But I don't want to sit in a class I hate just to make someone else happy. So my Approaches to Development class is just ok, but I hate it less then the art one so I will keep it. I have to write two papers and do a group presentation which isn't so bad. I basically have to write at least two papers for every class. I want to see if I can get some Gordon rule credit for this junk because I still haven't finished it. I hate having to write papers and not get credit for them. It sucks. Oh, and I don't have any tests in my classes, just the papers. And I am pretty sure that I don't have finals for any class, unless I just didn't see it on the syllabus. Which means that I will have three weeks in June to do whatever I want. Like travel. I want to go to Fiji. And Tasmania. I actually have a whole list of places, haha. And I am pretty sure that Hali and I are going to see Heath's ashes on Saturday!

Today I went to Cole's and finally got some toothpaste! If i hadn't gone today I would have had none. Which would've been bad. Also, I swear that Aussie's do not eat regular cheese pizza. Like, in the frozen section, it is not there. Neither is just pepperoni. All they have is pizza with lots of stuff on it. It's so weird!

Also - some Aussie words. A "diary" is a planner. Jam is jelly and jelly is jell-o. And some other weird stuff - my flat mates from Malaysia and Singapore do not think it is weird to not keep eggs in the fridge. They keep them in the cabinet which I find extremely odd.

awesome.

OH MAN
get excited

zoo.

So right now I am listening to "Karma" by Alicia Keys. For some reason I feel like telling everyone that. So yesterday I went to the zoo. It was fun! I saw a kangaroo. And a koala. And it was awesome. After awhile it got really hot and I got tired of being there, but it was cool. There was this awesome kid who was wearing an Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl shirt. He was so cute! And then we were by the lemurs and this family with 3 little boys came by and they didn't know what they were, so I told them. And then the boys were like, "Oh. Like in Madagascar!" Then they started singing "I like to move it, move it." haha. It was funny.

So I went to church today and I think I might've found someone to go to Melbourne with. woot. That makes me happy. But I am obviously going to go no matter what happens.

And tomorrow I will have finally gone to all my classes. But I have class all day which sucks. From like 9 to 6. Ugh. I have never had four classes in a day before. And one of them is for 3 hours. Gross.

Also, Friday night there were random drunk boys in our flat. And I was really confused. Because we had dinner at out common room place and then Paola and I went to Staci's flat. Then I came back around 11 and I wanted to sleep because we were going to the zoo in the morning. So I brush my teeth and all of a sudden I hear all these voices and was confused as to why. So I open my door and there are like 4 boys, who are drunk. It was amusing. This one was talking to me and it was really funny. He said I had to go out drinking with them next weekend and I was like yea, right. But it was still really funny. He told me I was the first American he had met and I told him he was the first Aussie I met. haha.

So that is all. I am going to bed soon because I am tired.
