What is the Melbourne cup you ask? It's the race that stops a nation! There are horse races all day at flemmington racecourse just down the road from me. At 3pm there is the Melbourne cup a 2 mile race worth 6.2 million dollars. Australians take off work, get drunk all day, get very dressed up and bet larges amounts of money for a race that lasts just over 3 minutes. I did take the time to watch it in between studying but that's all the festivities I could manage.
You can Watch or Read about the race. It was thrilling.
Study was a tad more social today as I went into campus to practice manual skills for 3 hours. I also did some stair training just 12 days left until the race!.... If only I didn't have 5 exams between now and then...
