So its been a few days since my last entry, but nothing exciting has really happened. I pretty much had school on Mon, Tues, and Wednesday, and the past couple of nights we have just been chillin. Last night we did get together with Mitch, James, Mark, and Chris... the Aussie boys that live near campus, and made them dinner. We figured that since they cooked for us last week it was time for us to return the favor. All three of us girls really have no idea how to cook, so we pretty much just made spaghetti bake with salad and breadsticks. I think that by the time we actually got to eating we really werent hungry, but oh well.

Mitch and James are both on a Rugby team, so tomorrow we are going back with them to Mitches home town to go watch there game, and see the night life around there. It should be fun. We are leaving tomorrow (Sat) and then busing to Byron on Sunday to go do the sky diving. I am SUPER SUPER EXCITED!!!! It is going to be one heck of an experience. Let see what else has happened in the past couple of days... oh yea! We finally saw one of those funnel spiders that everyone kept talking about. My roomate killed it and then told us what it was later on. They said that that spider is the most deadly spider around. CREEPY!! We were talking and saying how its going to be crazy to come back to the states. The wildlife and bugs back there are going to seem like nothing compared to here. We have lizards, spiders, and other creatures living with us all the time. I still wake up in the middle of the night sometimes and think that the fan blowing on my arm is a spider!

Classes are going pretty well. I feel that I have so much free time, but I really dont want to do school work. I try to bring it out by the pool, but then everyone just swarms in and we end up talking. Oh yes! We did finally get a few days of bad weather. Yesterday and the day before it rained and rained and rained. It was fine since Wed. was a school day, and then when it was time to go out it was nice again. Anyway nothing to exciting in the past few days. I will probably post more next week and hopefully have some great pictures of us out of the plane! YIKES!

Oh yes, that picture that I posted is my front door. There are more apartments up the path, but we have our own little community right here. That door that is right next to mine is where Kelly lives. It is nice having a neighbor so close. Our back doors combine the same way and we have a deck back there. That is where we go and have "girls nights"... we can sit back there and chill and watch the stars and bats that fly around at night! Oh yes I forgot about those. The flock around like crows at night and are HUGE! Anyway back to what I was saying... Kelly lives there with another kid that I go to St. Cloud with and then two Aussies. We just leave our doors open all the time and walk in and out of each others places. It makes it nice to share everything. I have come to the conclusion though that we need to start closing our doors because the bugs are festering in. I just make sure that my bedroom is always closed and that there is a towel by it so the bugs cant crawl under it. Alright I am going to go down to campus so Giggidy Giggidy!
