I had a roller coaster of a day! I started out not feeling so well. I was much more rested when I woke up but still has a bit of a head ache. I decided to erg instead or run since there is less bouncing. I like erging at the gym. The people around me are entertaining. The music was fabulous. I think the radio station pulled their play list from Abbie's ipod; amanda palmer, the red paintings, florence and the machine, and afi. At one point a girl sat down next to me she pulled 5-52 second pieces with the worst form I think I've ever seen. By the time I was done with my 1-52 minute piece she had left the gym. After erging I felt better so I went for a short run. I went to go shower and found that my computer was covered in shampoo. I know, I know why was my computer in the same bag as my shampoo? It wasn't the shampoo leaked out of my gym bag through my backpack and onto my computer. On it's way it got all of my clothes and my anatomy flash cards. I washed off my clothes in the shower. Unfortunately the driers weren't strong enough to dry off my clothes. I also found that I had forgotten my shoes so I wore my vibrums to class. I walked outside and it started raining. Then I couldn't locate the building where my class was today. I thought I was late but he hadn't started yet. Turns out there were technical difficulties with the PowerPoint so after an hour of trying to fix it they sent us home. I had some international student thing to do today but I couldn't find it. I looked really hard I promise. Instead I found a bank rep that set me up with a much better system and got my Australian tax information so that I don't lose 45% of my income to taxes. I test road a bike that I really like. It's a specialist dolce, compact 44cm. It is a $1000 bike that I would have to have special ordered. I think I also found someone to buy one from for $750. A girl named maddie used it 5 times and got bored. I'm not 100% sure I need to make sure that the bike is what I'm expecting but it looks promising. After that I went home and filled out my working with children check. I need to take it to a post office that is about 3k away but I didn't make it before 5p.
At 5 I hoped on a train to babysit for the evening. They are a lovely family of 5 with 2 girls and a boy. Today was Mike(the dad's) birthday and they hadn't been out on a date since the youngest girl was born. Awwww. Anyway it was my first experience on the west side of Melbourne. It's very different. Much more rural and spread out. We watched movies and played computer games till 830 and then they went to bed and I learned the brachial plexus(neurosurgeon version). I had to go through the city on my way home so it was my first chance to see the city at night. It's pretty cool.
Ha I love looking back through my pictures and recalling things that had slipped my mind. This huge dog was on the steps to the gym this morning. Just sitting there while his owner worked out.
