Hey everyone. I just thought I would let you all know that I have not forgotten about all of you back in the States. I had a great update planned for this week, involving lots of pretty pictures. I even cleared off my desk some so you can see what my room is like! (By the way, all rooms in Baxter are singles, and they are cleaned once a week. That in itself was worth the trip :P.) Sadly though, it is the middle of the semester, which means midterms. I have one in Physics this Saturday and a 2000 page paper on an iconic representation of Australia due on Friday, not to mention Assignment 2 in my comp class due next week. So I have had to push it off a bit.
I am really sorry, but I promise to make it a good one to make it up to you all. Plus we have Spring Break coming up, so there is always our coastal tour to look forward to. Anyway, back to work with me.

I'm sorry - a "2000 page paper"????? I hope that you meant a 2000 word paper. I knew that other countries were ahead of us in some areas of education, but I didn't know it was that far ahead.
I also want to know how they can give exams on saturday...is it because you are down under?;)
I finished the book "In A Sunburned Country" and thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope you get to the gold coast. I very interested to see if the people live up to their description. Study, work hard and have fun.

Yes, 2000 word :P. It just felt like it had to be 2000 pages.
Also, I suspect the reason they give the physics exams on a Saturday has something to do with the fact that the normal lectures are only an hour long. To top it off, all of the big physics courses have to have their exam on the same day for some reason. Since everyone's schedules here are bat-s&*t crazy, the only time they can offer it and expect everyone to be able to be there is on the weekend.
Speaking of In a Sunburned Country, I used it as one of my references in the aforementioned paper. If you enjoyed that book, I can say that the only other one by him I have read, A Short History of Nearly Everything (or something like that) is even better.
