Stuff

Sorry for not writing anything since forever (Wednesday), we'll try to write more, but there probably won't be too many interesting things to write about. It'll mostly be updates on classes and stuff, random thoughts on australia, or weird things that happened to us. So, onto words.
Classes have been like normal classes nothing too interesting yet. In Digital Imaging we're still just playing around with photoshop, in Illustration we're just playing around with water color, in Criminology we're talking about the criminal justice system, and in my film class, we've watched the Matrix and Metropolis.
Aside from classes I've been playing ultimate frisbee on Wednesday nights. It's intramural, with about eight teams playing against each other every week. I'm on Team 8 (our name is still pending) and we won our first game last Wednesday in a landslide victory, 13-3. We're good, and we'll be even better once I get my cleats.
Saturday Emily and me decided to go into the city to what there was. We left after lunch around 12:30 and got into the city a little after 1:00. The city is pretty big, we walked around for about 2 hours and still didn't see everything. One thing we found out is that almost everything was closed. And the shops that were open were either starting to close or closed within an hour. Apparently on the weekends most things close at noon. It was really weird since we were used to stores being open very late on Saturdays. So we either have to go into the city in the middle of the week, or wake up really early on the weekend. Speaking of waking up early, it seems like Australians like waking up as early as possible. Every morning our roommates are already up before 7, even on the weekends, which is weird.
Today is the University's "Open Day" which is when you go to visit the school. Instead of getting tours all throughout the year, they have it on one day only. So there's been a steady stream of tours going through our courtyard for the last 3 hours. It seems to be over know, but every time I thought that another tour went by, so we'll see. And that about wraps up what's been going on for the last half-week, at least for me, Emily might write something else. I doubt it though, I bet she won't. If she doesn't I'm going to call her funny names.
