So over the past few days my spirits have genuinely lifted. We did our group project on Thursday and, once again, my question was not chosen. However, I learned my lesson last time and did not do all the work that I put into the last one. Last night, instead of studying for my psychology quiz that I had today, we went to the premier of Robin Hood over at Southbank. In order to compensate for that, I got up and hit the library right after my breakfast of eggs in a basket. I spent the morning going through the possible questions with my notes from the previous lectures and wrote out answers for each of them. Now I’ve heard of people having to skip a class to write a paper for another class, and that is essentially what I had to do today. While I was studying for my psych quiz, the psych lecture was going on at the same time. However, this really is no big deal as all the PowerPoint slides are online and can easily be downloaded and printed off to study on my own. Right now, it’s a Friday night and I’m in the process of working on my Aboriginal essay that is due Wednesday because I also have a psych essay due the same day. Funny thing is, I am currently being sidetracked by an Australian cooking show so hopefully I can get focused here in a bit.
The past few days have been relatively quiet. Casey and I went to our church’s Wednesday night service this week and that was fun. They meet at one of the other churches in Brisbane so we actually worshiped in an actual building rather than the playhouse on campus we normally use on Sundays. I only wore shorts and a t-shirt because Casey told me it was just like a Bible study type deal, but as soon as we walked in I felt underdressed. It really was like a church service just on a Wednesday instead. Everyone else was wearing jeans and whatnot but it was just the idea of being the only one in shorts that stuck to me. I looked at the calendar today and realized that Brett will be here in three weeks. That’s right, three weeks. I believe it was over a month ago when it was confirmed that he was coming for sure, and now it’s down to just three weeks. Consequently, that also means that there are only three weeks of class left down here before we start the three weeks of finals. Of course, I have the opportunity of leaving one week early due to my schedule, so Brett and I will get to fly home from Brisbane-LA-Chicago-Cleveland. I’m sure mom is happy about the fact that we’ll be coming home together, but it also gives me the opportunity to start working a week earlier than I was planning on. So things have been going well, better than they were a week or so ago, and once I get through next Wednesday I’ll feel a lot better having these two term papers off my back. One thing I forgot to mention was the fact that y’all may have it warmer back home right now than we do down here. During the day it is still quite warm in the sun, but in the evening and during the night it has been getting rather chilly. Y’all probably think I’m crazy calling it chilly down here, but after experiencing 30+ degree weather for the past three months has made the current temps feel colder than they actually are. So cheers to you all, enjoy the warm weather, and have a good arvo/morning!
