Birthday!

This was a really busy week!! I have been putting alot of time into bio...remember how I said I don't understand chem? I still don't think I would do very great in a chem class, but I am getting alot better at what we are learning in my bio class!! So I guess that is good news..
Tuesday was St. Patty's Day. Two of my room mates, Leah and Kellie, and I went to the Burswood Casino. We ate dinner at the restaurant there (yummy chinese) and then hung out with Kellies friends at the pub and in the casino. I gambled away 4 bucks and got sick of losing my money and quit. We really wanted to go to the Ruby Room, which is supposed to be a fancy club, but it was closed.
Wednesday was an air guitar competition at the Tav. My friend Dave entered into it and probably should have won (he was awesome), but my other Friend, Aurelian, took first. I missed his performance, but I hear it was even more awesome. Luckily, I got Dave's performance on video!
Thursday was Kelsey's 21st birthday, so we had a little get together at the Erica Underwood complex. It was a Disney/Pixar theme party and we all dressed up like different characters. I was Genie from Aladdin, Kelsey was Tinkerbell, Komal was Pocahontas, Victoria was Rajah the tiger from Aladdin, Matt was the Emperor from Emperors New Groove, Jaymes was a Poncho (inside joke/his nickname), Rhys and Nathan were cards (Ace of Diamonds and Ace of Hearts), Dave was really random things throughout the night, and Livia, Divia and Benedikt did not have costumes :(. The party was really fun...we had 2 cakes, fruit salad and a pasta bake to eat. We also had a dance party in the living room! Kelsey and the rest of us had a great time!
Friday we decided that we wanted to hang out downtown, so we went to The Deen, a club that most of the people in our group like.
Saturday, I did alot of school work during the day, then hung out and watched a movie with some friends for the evening.
Sunday was another day filled with lots of school work. I also did some grocery shopping to restock my very empty fridge and shelf. I then proceeded to make a good dinner consisting of pan fried chicken, mixed veggies and potato salad. It was very yummy. Then I went back to working on school work.
While it seems that all I am doing here is having a blasty blast (which I truely am!!), I also DO study and do a ton of school work (yes, during the week!!). Ask my friends...whenever I see them and they ask what I have been doing that day, my response is always...studying. I do realize that while fun is to be had, lots of time also needs to be put into school, and I am definitely making that effort!! I just didn't want any of you to think that I am blowing it off to have tons of fun!! The fun comes after the work! I still have no grades, but the week of the 30th I have a lot of things due: a sexology paper, a bio test, an australian sport paper and an australian sport presentation. It will be testing my patience that week, but it's about time I get some grades!!
My bio prof handed out a practice test, which is actually an old test. I took it the other day just to see how I would do and ended up finishing the entire thing in under 5 minutes (it was only 20 questions long) and didn't know 2 of the answers. I am still in the process of looking them up in the book. It's an old test and may therefore have come from an old edition of the book.
I have post cards for lots of people at home, but you will need to be patient with the delivery. It is quite expensive to mail things back to the US, so you will either receive it very late or I will hand deliver it to you when I decide to come home...which may take years.
Some big events that are coming up in the near future:
- Cirque du Doleil wednesday
- Grant is visiting Perth this weekend!!
- tests/projects due in 2 weeks
- april break!! (will explain more later)

That is about all for now!!
