The Bloke Inside Me

For this blog post I will replace all feminine pronouns with the masculine form, him and he. Obscure joke reference aside, I will continue.

Blokes are guys in Australian. Today I was called "mate" and this warm, fuzzy feeling was felt in my heart.

I took the...scenic route to school today. I have until next week to figure out the right way, I figure. I wanted to wake up at 10:15 (class at 2) but traffic got me up at 7:30. I went back to bed of course, but it wasn't the same. I may invest in earplugs, but I have no idea how I will hear my alarm then!

Took my time, ate breakfast, and left. I'm really taken by these sweet mini-bite sized biscuit type things for cereal. We don't have them back home, but they are the sweetest thing here without adding sugar so I'm drawn to them. Yesterday I tried something new for breakfast. At Bethel they have granola with raisins to pour milk over and eat. Here they had that + sunflower seeds + dried fruit + coconut shavings. I kinda liked it, but the sunflower seeds...yuck. And I noticed it took 4x longer to chew than normal cereal.

The way I went to school was embarrassingly long. I left a few minutes before noon. I got to Wesley with about 20 minutes before class at 1:40. I walked to the train station, got on a train, went downtown to near where UTS was, walked towards UTS, waited for a bus that took me near Wesley, and walked more. It was a bummer that the bus went down the road past where I should have gotten off. So I got out and had to walk back a minute or two that we just drove. As I was walking, the bus doubled back and went past me. So I was walking up to it since it must have gotten back on track or whatever, and I felt embarrassed to get close so that the driver would notice me. So I walked sloooooooowly.

Got to Wesley and had to find stuff to do before class. I wandered around a lot. I looked at the paintings in the hallways a little before going to class. There was a room mixup but that was solved quickly. I had $2 hot chocolate from a vending machine during the break in the class. That class was good, and after, I went back. Dinner was a weird type of lasagna. Like potpie lasagna.

Tomorrow I have to get something from UTS and sort out my class schedule at Wesley. Fun...

Oh I played some iPod games here for the first time. This girl guy actually bought them from iTunes. I don't think I would. Well maybe, now that I've seen some. I played Sims DJ. It was interesting.

Cheers!
