Sunday Session

Life since the outback...

So since we've been back from our expedition to the Outback classes have pretty much taken up most of the time.

I've turned in my big politics paper, taken my second Law test and started preparing for my presentation in my gender studies class. All that I have left for the semester is two finals and a paper for my gender studies class....and three weeks to take care of most of that.

Last weekend was really low key, didn't go out at night at all, but we did some more exploring around Perth and found this place called Harbour Town...basically a huge mall, but of outlets with really cheap stuff in them and lots of good deals on stuff. We pretty much spent all of last Sunday there after doing absolutly nothing on Saturday.

I was suppoesd to start my volunteer job at Boronia (women's correctional facility) this week but the women I would be working for forgot I was supposed to come and didn't plan anything at all for me to do....so that pretty much was a dud. She claims that she's going to get it worked out this week and I can start this coming Wednesday....but we'll see if that actually happens or not.

Friday was Oktoberfest...curtin uni style.....basically school sponsored drinking in the Guild (same as if Elon sponsored an Oktoberfest and held it in Moseley). It cost us $15 to get in and that got us a free 500mL beer stein to fill with one of the dozen beers they had for sale.....to fill the stein tho it cost $7 so yea only did once cause I didn't feel like wasting that much money on a beer. The event took place from 4pm till 11pm and then they had a free bus to Northbridge afterwards but by 11 no one was in the mood to head all the way into the city so we just went back and ate some food (a Sandy's or Domino's delivery would have come in handy right around that time....but not in Australia).

Yesterday (Saturday) was one of the best day's that we've had weather wise since we've been here. So Lara, Mville, Sandra and I hoped an early bus and headed down to Fremantle for most of the day. We walkled around some of the markets before getting some ice cream and coffee and relaxing along the street for a while.

Now we're gettin ready for another week of classes and trying to see if we can squeeze anything else into the time we have left here cause it feels like all the weekends are disappearing way too fast. Kinda weird to think that I only have a month and a half left here....seems like I just got here yesterday but at the same time I think about all we've done and yea....we've done a hell of a lot since we got here back in July.

Until next time....
