Day 98

It has finally gotten beautiful in Melbourne!! It finally is starting to feel like spring, with 70 degree weather and all the leaves returning to the trees! So gorgeous! I even got HOT as I was walking around campus exploring libraries (...cause that's what cool kids do right? Find the different libraries on campus?) But despite the gorgeous weather I somehow ended up indoors for much of the day, rewatching multiple episodes of Game of Thrones with a friend and then going to Brunswick St for the majority of the night. But it was fun nonetheless and the gorgeous weather outside made me happy!

The only problem last night was how inevitable it is to run into people you don't actually want to see when you're on Brunswick St. It was a girls night, with the few minor exceptions of our guy friends who both have girlfriends back home so they're practically one of the girls (don't tell them that) and we went out dancing. There I was, minding my own business, rocking out to Moves like Jagger because that song is amazing, and who walks up but this german guy I talked to very briefly during the Melbourne Welcome. He was a giant skeeze then, and he proved that nothing has changed when he pulled me in for a hug and then said "By the way, I overheard some guys talking about you in the bathroom. They said you were really awesome except you were a midget, so that's your downfall". Thank you german man for giving me this useless information. But at least now I know I'm short, cause ya know, I was kinda shakey on the subject before that.

Now today after taking one look at my genetics assignment due next Friday, I knew I was in trouble. I spent an hour struggling over decifering genetic codes and looking for sites where specific restriction enzymes would cleave the DNA and what the resulting amino acid sequences would be and got through one question. At least I'm starting this a week ahead of time so I actually have time go to into my lecturer and perhaps look like an idiot, but it's obvious that I need help. Only two more weeks of school left!

  1. SO I decided to creep on your blog while I'm getting ready to go out. Right now Im drinking a vodka and cranberry and Misery is playing on my playlist.... I MISS YOU!!!! Haha but I'm super jealous about the nice weather in Melbourne! It's been getting colder and wetter here... I really don't mind because it feels very fall and Halloweeney! OH! And I was totally obsessed with Game of Thrones for like the entire 2 days that it took me to watch the entire first season haha it pretty fantastic! OMG! You should have kicked that German guy right in the nuts! Moves Like Jagger is boss and for him to pull you away is a crime! And the bit about a midget is pretty crazy. Some of the Germans I've met here have been reallly sketchy too... But don't let school get you down! Enjoy everything while you can! Except maybe creepy Germans... haha love you lots! :)
