I think I have finally sorted out my schedule mess, and I am in satisfactory classes. I am now taking Linear Algebra, Organizational Engineering, Colonial and Postcolonial Literature, and American History to 1941. I really haven't found any of these classes all that intriguing thus far, but I get credit for all of them at UT. Yay!
This past weekend, I went to the Moomba Waterfest with Sara and my new friends Jules and Meghan. Meghan is from Canada and lives down the hall. We met on the day we arrived looking like death from the gazillion hour plane ride and have been friends ever since. Jules lives in a suburb of Melbourne, and I met her through the mountaineering club. Jules and I became friends through destiny. Allow me to explain. At the first meeting of the mountaineering club, I happened to be wearing my homemade Notting Hill shirt with the clever quotes. It has long been my philosophy and hope that someone will recognize these quotes, and we shall become lifelong friends. Jules is the first one to do this in about four years. It is fate. The festival was a lot of fun, and I got to watch professional water skiers. I had never seen anyone very good ski, and it was completely amazing! I have now decided that my backup career will be professional water skier.
On Sunday, I went scuba diving again with a few people from the underwater club at Phillip Island. This is the island that has the world's smallest penguins, but we dove on the other side. Anyway, apparently I get seasick. Last weekend I was completely fine on the boat, but I think the waves were larger or something because I definitely fed the fish. Luckily, I only puked before and after my dive. That was extremely unpleasant, and I felt like death, but at lease I got to see some pretty reef and fish. Needless to say, the next time I climb aboard any seafaring vessel, I will be drugged up.
This coming weekend, I am going camping, climbing, and bushwalking in the Grampians National Park. I am super excited, and I'm trying to get a lot of schoolwork done during this week so I won't be bogged down on the weekend. The weekend after that, I am going camping and kayaking on the beach. I don't know where. I guess wherever they take me.
