For those of you wondering, that's the title of a country song. It's actually about having a baby, but no worries, that is NOT what I did today. :) I'm actually referring to my first trip to the beach since living in Freo. Although there was a lot of seaweed and it was quite windy, we still went in the water, and it was WARM! I guess that would be the Indian Ocean. Yes, it is a lot warmer than the Pacific. And just looking around, it was easy to see what God has made.
As far as the rest of today: Today’s volunteering was…interesting, considering that the bus ride took longer than the actual weed pulling, but hey, at least it’s a start. I liked hearing the bird lady talk about the ravens and how they’re so smart. When the people tried to shoot them, they only got one and haven’t been able to kill any since, because the birds recognize the person, their car, and that what they are carrying is bad. That’s pretty incredible.
We went shopping in the extra time, and I bought a cute top at Valley Girl (still cannot believe I bought a shirt from a place with that name) for about $10. Then Brooke and I went to Target, and I bought another (purple!) super cute top for what I thought was $9.86 (like it said on the tag) but ended up being $7.88. Yes! Academic orientation was pretty scary. Peta scared the heck out of me, and I need to make sure to switch my computer to Australian English spellcheck here pretty quick. Oh, and Mom: did I ever steal anything? I got asked that tonight when I was on "the hot seat" and couldn't think of anything.
For those of you who are wondering:
My schedule (and in Australia, they say it w/out the hard "c" sound, so it's shedule, rather than skedule) is pretty good. I have one class each day, for a total of 3 hours each day, although not necessarily all at the same time. Monday is my metaphyics, History of Philosophy: Medieval. I gotta say, that's the class I'm the least thrilled about (I'm not too big into PHL or medieval stuff), Tuesday has Theories of Communication, Persuasion and Advertising, Wednesday is my UD THE class: Anthropology: Human Be-ing within the Mystery of Christ. I'm super excited for that class, and the description sounds fascinating. Thursday is Print Media Analysis-- I think our class makes a newsletter for campus or something. Friday is our Australian History and Society class, which all the international (mostly American) students take together, so that should be another cool class as well. But anyhow, that's it, so there ya go! :)
I just put up a whole buncha pictures on facebook, and have been at my computer for the last several hours. I'm tired now though (it's about 11 pm) so I will try to add some pictures here soon. Mom, I will need your help identifying a musical instrument unlike anything I've ever seen with a haunting sort of sound. I'll put just that one up, then I'm off to bed. 'Night y'all.
Okay, we already established that the instrument is an erhu. But I need pictures. Post more pictures here! It just goes against my grain to join facebook just to see your pictures. Matt said he will tell you a super easy way to post pictures just to keep us off facebook. Do you really want your parents reading your facebook page? Post more pictures!!!!!!!!
