Title

I woke up today with the intent to go to class again, but a few factors contributed to me not going to my lecture. First off, I woke up to a text from Corin saying that she wasn't going to go. Then I saw that Caitlin (and Tiffany) had posted on my facebook wall to tell me to go on skype because they wanted to talk. I told them that I didn't have time before class, but my cough came back and I decided that it was just be a nuisance to the rest of the class. I decided to just stay and listen to lectopia. I started talking to Caitlin for a while, but skype wouldn't work, so we had to use AIM and then the voice on the video chat wasn't working for my microphone. I could hear her, but she could not hear me. We ended up talking through chat and having the video on, which was funny. We then got off for an hour to work on homework and then she came back with Tiffany (and Jenny came too). Again, they talked and I typed. It was really weird, but I was glad to see them and talk to them. :)

We failed our inspection today, which isn't a surprise, but we did do alright. The fridge and the girl's bathroom were the things that failed. We have 48 hours to fix them and if they aren't cleaned to their standards, we have to pay the cleaning service $30/half hour (split 5 ways it's $6). Hopefully someone will clean it, since it was like that when I moved in and I'm not cleaning it!

I went to the CIEE office to print out an article for my class tomorrow, and Paul said he was just going to call me today to see if I was alright. When he asked how I was doing, I answered with 'I'm alive.' haha I am getting better, though. I then went to my tute and she had us watch the movie Rabbit-Proof Fence, which is a movie about Aboriginal girls that were part of the stolen generation, but escaped to go home. It was a very good movie and helped with the reality of the stolen generation for those of us that didn't grow up hearing about it. One of the main characters is actually played by the actor who plays Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets! He plays the bad guy, A.O. Neville, who the kids call Mr. Devil. At the end of the tute, I got my paper back. (Horrible, but at least I passed) We (Corin and I) also asked her about a mentoring program that someone talked to our class about last week. She told us to go to someone's office to get sheets for it, and so we did. We are both interested in it. It is a program that partners up uni students with local Aboriginal high school students and aims to encourage them to do well in school and provide positive role models.

During the times that I've been at the flat, I've just been reading and I took a nap. I know, really exciting! I am feeling better, but I felt kinda nauseated, which is why I took the nap. (And my head just needed a break because it kept wandering!)

At 7:30, I went to Murdoch Village Christians. We are finally in the Seminar room! (It's been taken every time before even though we had it reserved) Katie came along this time since she hadn't been to church since she's been here and wanted to come. She liked it, so I think she'll be coming back. We sang some songs and then went into our bible discussion. They have switched it up so that now it is a student that leads the discussion instead of Steve. This week Joel lead us through the next part of Colossians. We then had prayers and just hung out for a while. I got back about an hour ago, read some more, wrote this, and now I have to finish reading before I go to bed. In my AIS class tomorrow, we have that in class writing assignment, so hopefully that will go better than the paper that I just got back today. (Hopefully my other assignment that I turned in will too!)

On a side note, I've been looking at the Stats of views for my blog, and the countries viewer-ship fascinate me!
