"What's it mean?" "I don't know, but it sounds Australian!"

I felt very accomplished today. I made a list of things that I had to do today before leaving for the Northwest trip tomorrow, and I got them all done! I woke up at 9:30ish and started to write my paper. I then took a break to actually wash my dishes that were piling up. That's the reason that I only have a few dishes, I won't wash them otherwise! I wrote some more and took another break to go to Unicredit to get money out for the trip and ask about checking my balance online. They said that I had to set up online banking, so they set that up for me. I also went to see if they had other water bottles at the bookstore or the guild shop, but I didn't find any that had the close top that we need to have on the bus, so I'm just going to stick with my one that barely comes out for the trip. I can always open the top and drink from the bottle if I need to. I stopped by the administration building and got some $1 coins for the laundry. When doing laundry, someone saw me putting my money in the dryer, and he told me that it only cost $1, instead of the $3 that the washers cost! I was so mad to know that I had wasted all of that money! (Btw, there is no sign for the price of the dryers and someone told us they were also three dollars and it doesn't automatically start when you put in the money like the washers do)

I ate lunch while my laundry was washing and the I wrote more of my paper. I finished it at 4:15ish and now I just need to finish editing it before I turn it in on the sixth. It was perfect timing because at 4:30, Carrie and I decided to meet to go to Kmart for last minute things for our Northwest trip. I also had to recharge my phone, because apparently the time expires after a month and so mine was supposed to expire today. I also got some snacks for the trip, some shoes because I pretty much just have my tennis shoes and they were cheap. I also got an awesome hat. Carrie needed to get a hat for the trip, but I had already gotten one. We looked at the hat in the men's department and then we saw the hat there that we liked, but didn't see at first. It is so Australian, and the brand is Jackeroo. It has UV protection, breathable and fast drying fabric, and a hidden fly net in the brim! It was so awesome that I had to get it even though I already have one. (The title of this post is what I said about the brand of the hat) I also needed new sunglasses because the frame on my other ones broke in my backpack. :(

We also decided to eat at Chicken Treat, which we had been wanting to eat at for a while. It was so good! We got the two meals for $10 special and each got the 2 pieces of fried chicken and chips (fries). The chicken had a really good flavour and unlike KFC, actually had chicken and tasted like chicken! The fries in Australia are also so good compared to the States. I'm not sure what it is, but I love them! We then came back and I finished packing, but I still have to shower, edit my paper some more, and clean my dishes from lunch today.
