If you don't want to go to the gallows, I can show you another place to hang around

Today I woke up at 9:00 to a phone call, which I silenced, and then listened to the voicemail. It was my lecturer. He called back later as I was getting ready for class because he wanted to discuss the due date of one of assignments. It was supposed to be due over the study break, but since I will be gone for the Northwest trip, he is letting me turn it in on the Monday that I get back instead of before I leave. I then had biology lecture, but that wasn't too exciting. I feel like we just keep learning about setting up an experiment and the importance of random sampling. All of it is really boring and seems below uni level. After lecture, I went to the CIEE office to finalize my course schedule with Paul and print my paper for Contemporary Indigenous Issues. After printing, I got to go to the Kulbardi centre and figure out the date stamping and Kulbardi cover sheet. Kulbardi is the department for Indigenous Studies.

When I got back, I checked the mail, and found the pink slip of paper saying that I had a package! I went and got my care package from my parents that I had been waiting for, and was super excited and happy when I opened it. They sent me cookies, peanut butter, pictures to put up in my room, extra towels, b-dubs hot sauces (one medium and one spicy garlic, my faves), two orange chicken sauces, and a big thing of Frank's Redhot!!!!! I was so excited that I couldn't eat lunch for a while until I decided what sauce to eat! In the end, I settled on spicy garlic! :D

At 4:45, Carrie, Corin, and I decided to meet outside the RA office to go to Freo together for the torchlight tour of Freo Prison. We first met Paul where the bus lets us off, and we each got food at this place that is like a food court with a bunch of different types of Asian foods. We then went to the prison and it was awesome! The prison was closed in 1991, and is now said to be haunted. The give tours during the day, but at night on Wednesday and Friday they give torchlight (flashlight) tours. We got to go all over the prison from where they first go in, to the shower rooms, to the gallows, and even the morgue. They even had a few times that they tried to scare us, which worked, but I mostly screamed because everyone else did and I didn't actually see what was happening. I kind of hurt Carrie's arm (sorry about that!), but some of the reactions from people in our group was priceless. I also took some pictures that are on flickr. (or at least they should be once you read this) After the tour, we met up with Paul again at Gino's to get a cup of coffee or whatever. I got a fruit drink that was orange juice with ice cream in it. It was really good and tasted kind of like a creamsicle!

After Gino's, we came back to Murdoch and we were tired, so we just went back to our flats. My sisters also called me, since they are together in Cleveland. (They went to a Hanson concert last night.) It was good to talk to them. :)

As for the title, it was funnier when our tour guide said it, but I can't remember her wording. lol
