Happy Easter!

As I sit here realizing that I still have not accomplished much for homework this evening I find myself wanting to give a quick update of my life for you all.

Of course Uni is starting to kick me in the butt with three essays coming up! It could be better if two weren't due over break, when I'm NOT here! yes I will be traveling for two weeks instead of doing papers for two weeks! So for the two weeks before I will be scrambling ever so quickly and crazily hoping to complete what will hopefully not be three crappy papers! oh what fun!
Besides Uni life has been good, although I am beginning to get sick which is no good for my trip to Sydney this weekend. No worries, I will survive and Sydney and Easter Break will be wonderful despite my sickness and the loads of work that will be waiting for me when I return Monday morning!

A few other things: Frisbee has been great and I love all the people I have been playing with, it has been a great way to meet people which I am so thankful for! Here at Aquinas College things are well too except for everyone getting sick, which finally passed on to me! According to my neighbor he wanted to get rid of his sickness and said he was coughing under my door so he could pass it along to me. What nice thoughts. An interesting conversation that I would like to share with you all is the conversation I had with my friends Shannon and Sunny about peanut butter. This came up because I got reeses in the mail from my grandparents for Easter! YUMM! They find it fairly odd that we would put peanut butter on our fruit like apples and bananas, and that we would eat it with chocolate. I told them that some people like peanut butter and pickle sandwiches which lead into a discussion about what pickles were in the states and what they are here. I guess a dill pickle would be a "gerkin" (spelling?) ,um yeah, weird word. We also discussed some other differences in words after that, most of which I can't remember right now. I did however learn what a capsicum was the other day. It's a pepper, like a red, green or yellow pepper. We talked about the difference between those and ground pepper for quite awhile the other night at tea that the word pepper lost all meaning!

Anyway, this is my life in Adelaide... Just a few more things, Happy Easter to all! I hope everyone has a great holiday whether you celebrate it or not and I'll update as soon as I get back from my trip to Sydney! YAY! much love and safe travels to any of you that might be traveling.

cheers!
