Sickness & Syracuse

Not much excitement from this past week other than feeling not quite up to par, attending class and awkward tutorials, and going to the best restaurant everrrr. On Monday, Jill and I went to a great restaurant in the city called "Syracuse" aka the best place in the world (never been but we all know I am a true Syracusan). Got a delicious steak and great calamari! Had a few adventures after, which I will not expand on involving McDonalds and other various places (Jill- I won't tell if you don't).


Tuesday... Still sick and had tomato soup all day. Reading. Homework. Class. Boring.

Wednesday... Class all Day! Started to feel better. Ended the day at 7 after my severly awkward Jane Austen tutorial in which no one spoke the entire time and the teacher sat staring at us waiting for responses the WHOLE time. Almost got attacked by a duck. Nature Walk with Jilly in the evening.

Thursday... Lots happened today! Thank goodness, right? Who wants to hear about sore throats and text books any longer? Felt great this day! Did lots of school work during the day and laundry. Had a dinner planned at Northside Church at 6 pm and went with Casey, Niya, and Jill. We had a crazy time trying to find the church after we got off of the tram stop and ended up eating somewhere else. I was really bummed because it was supposed to be a good dinner and I was anxious to check out the church and possibly make some new friends. After dinner, I went grocery shopping and headed back to La Trash. Jill and I watched hilarious YouTube videos with her neighbor Maeve and had a ball. We spent the rest of the night socializing in Tower 9 downstairs and then at the Bald Eagle. Used some of your dance moves Dad :)

Friday... Got up ready and excited for the beach!! Ended up going to breakfast and then on a wild goose chase around campus helping Jill look for her advisor's office which ended in the decision to stay on campus and watch movies all day. You see, Jill and I discovered this amazing secret room (don't tell anyone) in the common room that is called the Roger Joyce lounge. There are tons of couches in there and old videos! I mean videos. Not dvds... So, we headed up there and watched some pretty great classics (Anastasia, The Emperor's New Groove, and Bring it On). Guess we were having a childish afternoon ha After our movie extravaganza, we decided to be something a little more than worthless and headed to the tram stop to find a great spot for dinner. We found the perfect small Thai restaurant and shared some great Pad Thai :) All in all, great Disney movies, pretty good company (ha), and a yummy dinner.

Today... Going to catch up on some emails and reading for school. Have to finish Northanger Abbey and Heart of Darkness by Wednesday! Anyone want to read one for me? Also going to write some letters to some special family back home :) Miss you guys!

Free Fish and Chips at 830 accompanied with a movie and fellowship on the hill outside my dorm. Should be fun!

G'day Mates!
