Probably My Last Post From Australia

First of all it looks like people that I don’t know might be reading this from Los Angeles, Souix Falls, SD, Austin, TX maybe.  So, thanks for that.  Hopefully you liked it…although I don’t know how you would.  Although now that I think of it, if anyone looks up the lyrics to Down Under by Men at Work, my blog might come up. Hm…if you’re looking for that, sorry you ended up here.

I don’t really feel like writing if you haven’t noticed…It’s been a while since I have.  But since I have, school’s finished for me.  I’m done student teaching.  I’m done with school.  It’s over now.  My last day was good.  I took pictures and stuff.  My teacher had a pizza party for me which was really nice.  A shout out the the students of Year 7 Yellow team.  You were a blast.  Thanks for being cool.

Since schools been out, I haven’t really done much.  Mostly because I don’t have any money.  Like.  Seriously, no money.  And it’s been rainy so it’s not like I can even go to the beach.  Actually, I did go to the beach yesterday.  It was overcast, but warm.  I got burnt pretty bad.  I hope it turns to tan.

I’ve been watching movies down here since it’s been rainy when I try to go to the beach.  Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs was hilarious.  I really, really liked it.  Paranormal Activity was alright.  I was expecting a lot more.  It was a bit freaky when she got dragged out of bed, but eh.  Sorry if I spoiled it for you.

My mind has been on the following since school has finished:  dinner at Battle BBQ when I get back at 6:15 Saturday December 12th, a trip I’m going to take as soon as I get back to the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, and Colorado skiing, and a Christmas party in Des Moines that we will drive straight too from skiing.

I’ve been thinking about the dinner at Battles BBQ not because of how much I will be looking forward to eating some awesome food (which believe me, I am.  No one here knows what real turkey is), but because I created a facebook event of it on a whim and an overwhelming amount of people RSVP’d that they were coming.  Maybe not overwhelming, but at least 4 times of what my usual events yield.  So hopefully I’ll see a lot of people.

I’m looking forward to the road trip because…well com’on…GC, LV, SKI?  It’s going to be awesome.  Especially because I’m going with one of my bff’s from high school and one of his B.A. friends from university that I’ve met a few times.  I was hoping my other bff would be able to come, but his cash flow is even worse than mine.  It’s exciting because it’s the first time the three of us have been single and been able to hang out in, oh I dunno, eight years?  Although we won’t be able to do this trip together, we will have other opportunities.

This Christmas party.  Seriously.  It’s going to be awesome.  We’re growing up now.  So that means sometimes when we drink we wear ties.  I went to a few wedding last summer and drinking in a tie is very satisfying.  One of my life goals is to host an awesome classy Christmas party.  For now, I’ll accept getting invited to one.

Recently I’ve shaved and gotten a suntan/burn.  That’s about everything.  If I’m related to you or if you’re coming to my BBQ dinner at Battles I’ll see you in like 7 days.

Okay.  My landlord took away the internet because we use it too much.  I’m not sure if I’ll have it for the rest of my time here.  Super annoying.  He also sent me a text message threatening to bolt my window shut permanently if I didn’t shut it even if I leave the house “4 a min or 2.”  This guy sucks so hard.  Is it worth looking for a new place? No.  But man he sucks.

Facebook and other distractors are blocked at the school so if you read this, and talk to me via facebook; stop.  I don’t think I’ll be able to check it for a few weeks unless I go to a free wifi spot somewhere in the city.

I’m starting to become frustrated with Australia.  The people in it, the operating hours, and…well just mostly with the people in it, or the people around me.  Get my bed ready, I’m coming home in a month.

Infomercial Prompt Fail

Just heard this in an infomercial: “Are you tired of eating regular, old cakes?”

Uh, no.

This weekend was pretty good.  Not much to report.  I saw the movie Moon.  It was good.  It’s not exactly 2001: A Space Odyssey like you think it would be.  It’s in that style, the style before Star Wars killed the thinking man’s sci-fi film.  See it.  Tell me what you think.

I ran into an Ames High graduate at the Sydney Opera House Open Day yesterday.  Yeah.  Crazy.  Turns out he graduated with my sister and her fiance.  He was wearing an Iowa State Cyclones t-shirt when I approached him and told him I grew up in Ames.  Small world.


I’m in my school now.  Not doing much of anything, a few of the teachers here are brilliant and I really enjoy watching them teach.  A few are pretty bad and have no skills when it comes to classroom management.  Really bad.

It’s funny.  I really like writing.  I love it.  The irony though, is that I’m bad at reading.  Like really bad at it.  I enjoy it, but I get discouraged by it, because I’m so bad at it.  So I love all these script writers and comedians etc, so my favorite authors are people like Paul Feig, Aaron Sorkin, and Ricky Gervais.  All people that have written funny and socially aware television shows.
