Last Saturday night, I had a lot of fun. I texted a few friends about dinner and told them to pass the message along, and about 12 people showed up, and many of them I hadn’t seen in a while. It was really good to catch up with everyone over dinner. Then, after dinner, Me, Komal, Divya, and Dave went back to Komal’s flat and watched Momma Mia. After we watched to whole movie we went back to the parts of the movie with the best songs and we did the “Sing Along Version”!

Sunday, I went to church, as usually. Later in the afternoon Komal, Jenn, and I got together to work on our presentation for our sexology class. This is the only presentation/group project that I have had all semester, and I am quite glad because I am not a fan of group projects. Then, Sunday night, a few of us girls were going to see a girly movie, Ghost of Girlfriends Past. However, it was sold out. Instead, we bought tickets for a later showing of Star Trek for all of us and a bunch of the guys that wanted to see it as well. So, we went home and came back to the movies two hours later. By the time I got home, I had no motivation to do any schoolwork…so much for a productive Sunday.

The next day, I went to my Residence Office to get approval for Drea to stay with me a certain number of nights. I was under the impression that our guests could stay a few nights at the beginning of their trip and a few at the end (so I was thinking she would be able to stay atleast 5 or 6 nights in my room). However, I found out that we are not allowed to have guests during study weeks or exam weeks, and she is only going to be here 5 days before study week. I tried to get approval for her to stay those first 5 nights she is here, but the manager told me she couldn’t stay five days in a row…only 3 nights total! We are planning on doing some traveling, but not for 9 days! I have been talking to friends and trying to figure other options, and my Bible study leader offered to let her sleep at his house a few nights, and I am very greatful for that!

Later Monday night, I went over to my friends flat at Don Watt’s (A Residence area on campus)for dinner. We have Breakfast for dinner…eggs, pancakes (with strawberries), and bacon. It was quite delicious. It is quite interesting how different the dynamics are at other flats. My flatmates and I always cook on our own, and we don’t really hang out with each other much. On the other hand, my friends that live in Don Watt’s take turns making dinner for everyone during the week, and they all hangout quite regularly.

Wednesday I went to the foodbank, I think for the last time. Later that afternoon I played tennis with Du Vihn. After tennis, he invited me over for dinner at his house. I really have been so fortunate to have met such a wonderful Australian (and Christian) family! On Thursday, we went on our last excursion in my Australian Studies class. This time we went to Northbridge (which is the area with all of the night clubs). Our guide was a guy who was probably in his late 60’s, and he told us all these stories about murder and hangings that occurred a few centuries ago. It was kind of interesting, but the stories were a little difficult to follow.

Last night I went to Bible study and dinner afterwards. I can’t believe we only have two bible studies/dinners left! I am really excited that Drea will be here for the last dinner, which will be extra special because we are doing a “steamboat”. I am not exactly sure what that means, but apparently it is similar to fondue. Tonight I am going over to Don Watt’s for dinner again. My friend Calum is cooking, and the funny thing is he doesn’t even live there, he is just always over there!

Sorry about the lack of pictures lately…I have been getting lazy about taking pictures. I will try to work on that!
