Assessment Time

     It has been another week devoted to uni.  It rained almost all of last week so I tried to take advantage of this and work on assignments for uni.  Last week I was able to write my entire economics report which took heaps of stress off me.  We rewarded ourselves for having a successful week by going over to our friend Molly's house to celebrate her birthday Friday night.  While we were there we got to see a HUGE Australian spider.  It was a Huntsman I think.  They said that if it bit you, it would hurt, but they aren't poisonous so it would do anything.  They also had some pet birds that just flew around so we played with them for a while.  It was just nice to have a break and hang out with some of our Aussie friends.
     Saturday we wanted to go hike Mt. Warning, but it was still raining so instead we went bowling with a bunch of people to celebrate our friend Sarah's birthday.  We had heaps of fun getting to hang out with everyone.
     Sunday it was finally nice out so we took a little walk down to Brad's house.  While we were there we did some washing, played frisbee, had a little game of rugby, and made birthday cupcakes.
     Monday I had my last Maths lecture!  Also on Monday I had to do my singing and guitar assessments for my music and children class.  They went pretty well I believe.  It was finally sunny out on Monday!! The temperature was 22 degrees!!  We all broke out our shorts and tanks.  Most of the afternoon was spent outside sunbathing.  A little bit of time was devoted to looking over notes for outdoor education.
     Today we had our final class for music and children!  That means I have 1 class down and only 3 to go!  I also had my theory and navigation exams for outdoor education today.  I thought they went pretty well.  Almost everyone said they thought the theory exam was really hard, but Emy and I did not think it was difficult at all.  I guess we will find out when we get our results back.
    Tomorrow I am going to devote my day to writing my essay for outdoor ed.  It is supposed to be 2000 words so I am thinking it will take up a good chunk of my day, but I want to just get it done so I don't have to think about it anymore.
     Thursday I have my last tutorial for Maths.  Then I am finished with that class except for the exam which isn't until Oct 1st.  I wish I could just take the exam to get it over with, but it will be good to have some extra time to look over theories and practical classroom activities.
     Friday morning bright and early we head out for Girraween for our final outdoor ed camping trip.  We are all pretty excited for the trip; however, they are forecasting rain for the entire time we are there.  Hopefully they are wrong so that we can enjoy our time out there.  We will be gone for 4 days on this trip.
     I thought of some more Aussie words that I did not put in last time I jotted down some of their lingo so I thought I would add them on:
Boot= trunk of a car
Petrol= gas for a car
Whinging= complaining
Torch= flashlight
Mum= mom
Arvo= afternoon
Rubbish= trash
Rubbish bin= trash can
Diary= daily planner
Then they use "go" for a lot of things.  They would say "It's your go" instead of "turn" or "How you going?" instead of "How are you doing?"

That is all I can think of for now, but I will add more as I think of them.  It was really like learning a new language coming down here.  However, now it is just come automatically.
