Getting Ready for the Weekend

Monday September 15th, 2014

I got to sleep in a little bit before starting to work on my group assignment. Before lunch we practiced our presentation one more time. It seemed really good so I wasn't worried. I had lunch at my house and watched the Bears game with Chris, Anthony, and Jackie. Some of my Australian housemate came and watched a little bit to see what all the noise was for. I had to leave the room according to Chris because every time I walked out of the room the Bears played better. I ended up having to leave anyway to practice my speech a couple more times. The game ended just in time for class so we all walked over together. As we were waiting to get into the lab. A couple other lecturers arrived. We then realised we were being marked by a group of lecturers not just our lecturer. Luckily, all the presentations were great so I am sure everyone got a good mark. 

I came back to my room after and slept. My brain wasn't tired but my body was still trying to recover. I slept right up until the time I was leaving for bible study. I quick made a salad to eat and I was off again. We didn't end up having a study because there was only a couple of us. So we just talked about our weeks, watched a movie, and enjoyed each other's company. 

 This is typical for Beck, Ellora and I!

I got up early so I could be ready for Chris and Mom. Ben was taking us all to Tower Hill for the morning. He said there was going to be baby Emus so of course I went. It was a gloomy morning but it began to clear up as we hiked around. I could totally feel how sore my legs were when I walked down hills. 

Here are some photos that Ben took with his camera. They are great photos. 

Here are the photos I took...

Hello There!

There was a group of people that had a dog with them and Emus were getting really upset. Guess who was between them and the dog... me. Kathy said it looked like they were going to try and eat me because they kept following me around and trying to peck at me. It doesn't help that I am the same height as them.  

"You don't see me"

We stopped at the shops so we could pick up some groceries for the night's activities. Mama Hoffman was cooking for all of again. She asked Ben to come and then I asked Ben to make Toblerone cheesecake and he said yes. As soon as we got back to uni I was working on my group assignment with Azra. We are heading to Melbourne for the weekend so we wanted to get all of our assignments done before we left.  I had to take a break for class but then we were right back at it until dinner.

Chris's mom made a prawn dish. It was the perfect amount of spicy and delicious. We had a great night laughing and talking. Ben's dessert was a hit as well. We all felt like one big family. We were pretty buggered by the end of the night though.

The morning and early afternoon was devoted to the practical assignment. There was free lunch so Azra and I took a break for that. Afterwards, I finished up the assignment and after class Azra and I made the final touches. I also helped Aiden with a GIS assignment. GIS is one of those things that if you aren't using it everyday you have to struggle a little bit to remember how to do it. Luckily, we figured it out. I was going to go to the midweek church service but I couldn't find my wallet so I stayed home and looked for it. I couldn't find it and I thought I may have left it in the cafe but I couldn't ask anyone until the morning. I gave up and made dinner before working on an assignment with Chris and Jackie for the rest of the evening.

Thursday September 18th, 2014

I woke up at 6:30am and remembered that my wallet was in my raincoat. I was very relieved! It was Thursday so I prepared myself for a full day of classes. Ben Polhner was a guest speaker in my aquatic animal health class. It was very interesting. By the end of all my classes, I was wiped out. I came back to my room and fell fast asleep. I woke up just in time to make dinner. Then I finished up an assignment. I had no ambition to start another assignment so Chris, Jackie, and I all headed over to K3 to watch a movie. Jacinta had already picked out Wolf Creek. It was a very scary movie. I even screamed at a part. After, the movie I had to go pack. I waited to go to sleep until everyone else had gone to sleep. I was worried they were going to try and scare me.
