Last Sunday I went to Nathan’s church in Subiaco with a few friends. We got to see Nathan play the drums during worship. It was also really cool because he invited a lot of our friends who don’t usually go to church. After church, we headed to the markets in Subiaco. It was my first time in Subiaco (which is more “high class” suburb of Perth), but it is always exciting to go to the markets, because you can find pretty much anything you can imagine and more. Later that afternoon (as well as Monday afternoon), Komal, Jenn, and I got together to finalize our sexology presentation. We rehearsed our presentation in front of our friends a couple of times. I have never practiced a presentation three times before, but I guess it paid off because we did really well during our actual presentation in class on Tuesday.

Later on Tuesday, Komal, Jenn, Dave, Matt, Livia, and I went over to Divya’s house for dinner. Her mom made us pasta and about ten different India dishes to try! All of the food was wonderful, and her mom even boxed up the leftovers for us to take home. It was quite an enjoyable night, especially having our sexology presentation finished (so now we are completely finished with assignments for that class).

Wednesday I played tennis with Du Vihn and Mark again. I am finally getting my swing and my serve back after playing racquetball for the past few months! Because the tennis courts are very close to Du Vihn’s house, his wife Robyn and daughter Sophie usually walk down to the courts to watch us play. Sophie is adorable and she loves to run around the court and play with the tennis balls. When I first met Sophie she could barely talk, but now she says my name all the time!

This weekend the weather changed drastically. I think it had maybe rained twice since I arrived, but since Thursday, it has been extremely windy and rainy. This weekend is the first time the temperature hasn’t reached at least 70 degrees during the day. Anyway, despite the weather, I went to Bible study on Friday, and afterwards we went out to dinner at a Malaysian restaurant.

Saturday, I went shopping with Livia and Kaitlyn, mostly in order to buy groceries and a birthday present for Jenn. Jenn’s parents are visiting from the U.S. this weekend (especially for her birthday) and today they are took us on a Swan Valley Wine tour! It was also Jamee’s birthday as well, so we celebrated both of their birthdays during our tour. We rode around in a tour bus this afternoon and visited three wineries, one brewery, and the Margaret River Chocolate Factory in Perth. It was a pretty cool experience, and I certainly learned a lot about wine even though I am not too fond of the taste. Then, after our 5 hour tour, Jenn’s parents treated all of us to dinner at a pizza/kebab place in the city!

Aside from all that, I am diligently working on my LAST paper in order to finish it before Wednesday when Drea arrives. Unfortunately I haven’t received my last math assignment yet, so that probably won’t be finished before Wednesday. I am really excited for Wednesday, and it will be here before I know it!
