A Candy Filled Week

Day 31 Monday, March 19th: Typical Monday, have the day off, will probably do some more homework, catch up with friends, try to be productive.  If anything out of the ordinary or unusual or exciting happens I'll be sure to update.  Turns out I did end up doing things today!  Went to Marion with Derrick today because he desperately needed a massage.  While he was busy doing that I wandered around.  Went into this one, relatively posh, high end men's fashion store, can't remember the name and bought a new pair of sunnies to replace my old ones.  Also chatted it up with the lady working there, turns out she's a Flinders student as well, studying law!  Small world.  Made my way to the second floor and walked into Daily Grind to check out their snap backs, ended up buying a Vans. Off The Wall classic one.  Derrick and I met outside it and got hot-dogs at Wendys, then made our way to Target since Derrick needed new cargo shorts.  We then headed down to the first floor and went into this one store that sells stuff really similar to Urban Outfitters, with a price to match Urban Outfitters as well!  We pushed on to Cotton On, and I got a pair of jean shorts and a lightweight maroon, striped henley.  I was kind of disappointed with their selection of tanks, not only because none of them really caught my eye but because Smalls and Extra Smalls were few and far between.

Day 32 Tuesday, March 20th: Pretty sure this was normal Tuesday, nothing too exciting.

Day 33 Wednesday, March 21st: Tried  both of these ----->
for the first time today.  The Mars bar was good, the Maltesers, eh.  They're pretty much like Whoppers, which I'm not a huge fan of anyway.


Day 34 Thursday, March 22nd: It rained on and off most of today, so I stayed inside.  Sketched Nory sitting down for my visual arts course, while listening to Ratatat and making small talk, all the while hearing the pitter patter of the rain outside.

Day 35 Friday, March 23rd: Most of today was pretty dull until I had my visual arts workshop for 3 hours.  I was quite hungry for most of today as
well since all I had to eat was a Balfour's Baked Custard tart.  But I digress.  Nathan, Josh, Luke, and I ended up chilling before class just talking about all kinds of random shit, XBox VS PlayStation, COD talk, etc.  We then had to draw figures lying down, starting with Fabian, then my friend Cody (which was "interesting" to say the least since all I could really see was his crotch because of the way he lying down).  The third and last model was this girl who I was sitting next to, but didn't find out her name till after class, Cenise, like Denise but with a C.  After class Cody drove me back to the Village.  Pretty soon after getting back Liz stopped by to help Derrick design some pub crawl shirts and watch Dr. Who, which I decided to watch with them, my dumbass being an earbasher and constantly asking questions about it.  Liz eventually left, I made the rest of my chicken for dinner, and then somehow over the course of the night this happened:

Day 36 Saturday, March 24th: Woke up at 9:00 AM this morning to go kayaking with other exchange students up at Barker's Inlet (on the Port River near Adelaide Port, between Garden Island and Torrens Island) at the dolphin sanctuary.  Alex and Gage went as well.  We actually saw dolphins!  Except the one time one of them did that skid along the water trick with their flippers we were all learning how to use the paddle and the dolphin did it so quickly (three times) that none of us could photograph or film it in time.  Sad day.  :(  It was still fun nonetheless, and got us off campus and exploring more of Adelaide.

Taking a break on one of the mangrove covered islands
while the guide talks about the shipwrecks behind me.

The Santiago, the oldest iron and last vessel to be abandoned at Garden Island's Ship Grave yard I believe.

Once we got back I was SUPER hungry since I didn't have anything to eat in the morning and because I rushed to get to the meeting spot on time I forgot to bring something to eat, so I scrounged up lunch, and then remembered I had these:

in the freezer.  The curly wurly was surprisingly good, better than I expected for just caramel dipped in milk chocolate, neither of which I'm all that fond of.  Derrick and I hung out for a bit before deciding to head to Nory's place.  Derrick (still pumped up from our antics the night before) decided to wear the Sky Runners there, and as soon as we knocked and came in, everyone there was in awe.  Claire ended up trying them on a bit later, using Nory for support mostly.  Nory and I got our DrawSomething on (well she ended up playing for most of it since it was her iPad, I just watched and once tried to draw a lava lamp but it didn't turn our very well so she took it from me, haha).  After a while I remembered that Derrick, Leo and I got invited to dinner at our friend Stephanie's place, so I said my goodbyes and made my way over there.  I met Leo's girlfriend, Danielle for the first time, and saw Leo for the first time in two days. We ended up ordering Sahara Pizza (the first time I had had it, I ended up getting the same thing Leo and Danielle get every time they order, "The Lot"), watched Robin Hood: Men in Tights, a few episodes of Dr. Who, and learned about an inside joke between all of them due to early Easter presents given to Danielle from Stephanie and her other flatmate.

Day 37 Sunday, March 25th: Lazy Sunday.  Went to Woolies with Leo for a bit, worked on homework, chillaxed.  Tomorrow I do more homework and laundry.
