Well I ate too much today. Other than that I had a really good day. I almost have a schedule now. I wake up at 5:30 to catch the 6:12 tram. I want to bike into campus but I haven't been that brave yet. So this morning my 7:20 exercise class was Pilates. It was interesting.... I wouldn't have enjoyed it but the chairs in our lecture theatre are absolutely killer. My back really hurt this morning so the Pilates kinda helped. Then Library for an hour and on to class. I was bored listening to the lecture so I had a rice crispy treat(they call them rice bubbles over here), a sesame bar, then my sandwich, and a coffee, by that time it was 11:30. More class and at 1 we got a lunch break. The older students put on a barbie for us on the south lawn so we ate swags(sausages) and signed up for projects. I didn't have a sausage but I had a onion and ketchup sandwich. Not as good as the ketchup in Pittsburgh. They have heinz but it isn't nearly as much of a staple and they have a different Aussi recipe. Then more class. The afternoon lecture was a little more exciting the presenter's name is Gillian Webb. She's kinda a big deal. Plus her name is Gillian so I was happy. We got done at 4:15. Unfortunately, we seem to get out of class just in time for me to miss the tram. The wait isn't too bad but they are much more punctual in the morning. There was a concert at the capitol building on my way home.
It looked fun but I had homework. I stopped a couple stops away to go to the bank and get ice cream. Grown... I should have waited for dinner. I did an hour of homework, took the dog for his one block jog and ate ANOTHER sandwich. I finished my evening with more shoulder modules. Man I live an exciting life :p
Australian Lesson of the day: It is actually really easy to speak Australian there are only 3 rules. If you can think of a way to shorten a word(or if you can't) they shorten it. Mosquito=Mothy breakfast=breaky. If the last concenent of the word is "n" replace what ever ending the word has with "in" Melbourn, Brisbane, etc. If a word ends in "a" replace it with "er" but a soft er Louisa=lou-weezer. That's all you have to know You can all come visit and sound just like a native. Although I still don't. The guy at the coffee shop doesn't understand my pronunciation of large:(
