Tomorrow morning I leave for Sydney-Auckland (NZ)-LAX-Cincinnati and finally to Indy. It will take me 40 hours of traveling time but I will get there eventually. I really look forward to being home, even if it's only for a couple of days. The first picture is of Christmas in July and the second is Barefoot Benefit. I am very much enjoying my time here. There is a lot less work involved in the classes here and I haven't had too much other work to do. One thing that I have noticed is the amount of essays that are used as assessments here. Many of my classes replace essays with exams.
I had Australian sushi for the first time today. Sushi is sort of a really casual affair. You just stroll into a store and they have sushi pre-made and you order them piece by piece. I'm pretty sure I'm starting to get used to the customs here.
Some more Aussie words to add:
dero (derived from derelict, "He's so sleazy, such a dero)
dag (dowdy, I reckon I am looking pretty dag today)
esky (cooler)
keen (I'm keen to play some footy)
starkers (naked)
chunder (vomit)
rockmelon (canteloupe)
reckon (I reckon....)
I was incorrectly informed about the usage of sleazy, apparently, the word is seedy (hungover).
