More Stuff

Since Christopher thinks I'm not going to write anything, I have decided to prove him wrong. So here's some writing.

My classes have been good so far, nothing too exciting though. This week I painted a picture of a coffee mug in Illustration. In Australia Through Time and Place I've been learning about archaeology in Australia. Last week I had my first workshop for my Linking Indigenousness class. It was all day (9am-4:30pm) and we did some group activities and stuff and learned about Aboriginal people and the colonization of Australia and all that good stuff. Next Friday and Saturday I have field trips for that class so I will let you all know how those go next week. Also I have my online class (Medical Anthropology) where I listen to podcasts and contribute to a discussion board. Its pretty interesting, and the lecturer seems to be obsessed with cyborgs.

So, like Chris said, we went into the city yesterday. It was really weird how dead it was. There were hardly any people and nothing to do. The only places that seemed to be open were restaurants and Woolworths.

This past Tuesday I worked. Yep, like a job. It was just a one day thing and it was the easiest job ever. I had to walk around these two parking lots once every hour (12-5) and write down the license plate numbers of all the cars. Once I finished each round (which only took about 15 minutes) I could just relax until the next hour. It was pretty boring, but at least I'm getting paid. Of course this had to be the day that it rains. It didn't rain at all for the first few weeks we were here and then as soon as I'm stuck outside all day it decides to pour.

Well, I think that's about it for now.
