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.
