So...

Today is my worst day ever. Eight hours of classes. So I have class from 6-9 pm off campus. I take the shuttle walk into class and at about 6:15 my teacher walks in and says log off right now. She then tells us we are going to critique other people's projects and we have 2 mandatory rules. One we must have an alcoholic beverage (which is free) and two we must find 3 works that we enjoy. So I have one beer, two beers, 3 beers, one glass of wine, 2 glasses of wine. Before I know it I am drunk, in class. And yes, my teacher is more drunk than I am. Everyone word out of her mouth was fuck, bitch, cunt, whore.... and it continues on. She then wants to take a picture of us on her phone which she is too drunk to do and continues to curse at her phone as she stumbles into a pole. Which she then attempts to pole dance on a pole.

Then she asks us what time it is. It's about 8 and this Asian kid goes it's 9 when our teacher knows it isn't. She then goes "Why don't you go on a plane back to fucking Asia." Everyone is like what the fuck and of course I am cracking up. He then leaves and my teacher goes "Where did Matt go? I don't know why he got so offended. I need to talk to him."

We then go back to class to watch a movie after a lot of fucks and bitches and cunts and whores are mentioned. She tells us the movie is a half hour long. It says there's 57 minutes left. I raise my hand and ask how long the movie is she says a half hour. It's 8:40, we won't finish a movie that's an hour long in 20 minutes. So I say no, it says 57 minutes. She stops the video and goes, "You know what, get out of the classroom." And I say "Wait me?" And she goes, "Yes."

So I start packing up and she goes "You don't like me and you don't like my class." And I say I do, because I actually do. And she goes "Nope, get out of class." So I got kicked out of class by my teacher. And I must say it was the best class I have ever had.

Then I went to McDonalds and got a Big Mac meal and of course I was still hungry. So I order one cheeseburger and the guy gave me 3 Quarter Pounders. Delicious.

i miss karen

I'm writing this for Michelle Fried and Liz Forino since they both mentioned me not writing here the same day. So I guess I will, I just wanted stories for when I got back, except I really don't have any hahaha. I don't even know what to write.

Well school's coming to a close as it is already closed back home. I really cannot believe my adventure here is more than halfway over. In about two and a half weeks it will be one month. And I have to say I'm getting a little upset. But more about that later. Classes are going pretty well, besides Philosophy of course. My mom asked me if I was going to pass and I told her I honestly didn't know. Which I'm glad so it won't be such a surprise when I get my grades. I am halfway done with my 40% of the final grade 3,000 word major project and I am very much relieved. I think I can finish it in the next 2 or 3 days. Classes have become such a hassle and I have never been this "bad" of a student before. I cannot miss not one more class cause I am at the limit. But it's okay, 4 more weeks, I think I can do it.

On a positive note, Chris and I drunkenly went swimming at midnight in the ocean after our formal dinner. Not too smart but hey, most adventurous thing yet. We're planning to go to either the Gold Coast or Melbourne for our study break which I think will be a lot of fun. We haven't gone outside of Sydney yet besides New Zealand. Let's see. Chris, Forry, and I have been watching a shit ton of movies, pretty much every night unless we've been out drinking. Although the other day after playing beer pong we watched a movie and I left 3 or more times to use the bathroom. Let it be known that I still constantly piss and still constantly eat. And the dino food is getting worse by the day! My worst nightmare. Birch, you will never look this good again.

Oh a funny story. Except not really. The buses here have steps in the back because for some reason the seats are leveled up. And I tried to be cool and do this trick getting off the bus by holding onto the bars on top and jumping. I didn't wait for the bus to stop though and the second I jumped in the air the bus stopped short. I didn't fall but I tripped and looked like a retard.

But yeah that is pretty much all it. I'll update more later I guess.
