Land Down Under

3 days left til Spring Break!!!!

I am most definitely counting down the days. Tonight I went with Jen over to International House (the college/dorm next door) and we watched a movie with Harrison and Chathu. We watched Aladdin!! Yay for Disney movies!

Tonight's dinner was really good. It was chicken in this garlic sauce, with the usual sides of corn, broccoli, and potatoes. A Hall meal here just isn't complete without the undercooked, cold broccoli that no one really eats. I'm still working on getting a picture of those funny Hall gowns.

I should probably just finish my biology activity tonight and get it over with, but it's 11PM now and I'm feeling kind of sleepy. I can't remember if this post was supposed to have a point. We learned about Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia today in my Social Work class. It was very interesting, but most of it was stuff I've heard before in other classes. I did like how Australia has day programs for patients with Alzheimer's who don't speak English, to keep their minds engaged in different tasks that are relevant to their culture and upbringing. I don't think the US has those. My tutor (in the tutorial that's after the lecture) mentioned that it's been shown that doing crosswords, gardening, socializing, eating dark chocolate, and drinking one glass of red wine a day helps decrease memory loss. Sounds like a nice day to me!

I have no biology tutorial tomorrow morning at 9AM!!! I'm so excited that I get to sleep in. I just realized that, yet again, I am completely stupid and have forgotten to order a lunch for tomorrow. I do this every single week. You'd think that by Week 8 I'd have learned that on Monday nights at dinner I need to order a lunch for Tuesday because I have class and can't come back to Whitley to eat lunch. I'm really annoyed now. Well no lunch for me tomorrow then, I hope dinner's good! Hmmm, I'll just eat a really big breakfast. Yummmm breakfast.
