Drop Bears and Vegimite

oh its been quite eventful these past couple days. I have class in about 20 minutes so I'll try to keep it quick.

Well I forgot to tell you that when we landed at the airport last whatever day it was (the days seem to melt together in Oz) we were greeted by these people called Wubblies? They're like students at Wesley that volunteer to help and great and be awesome for the ASC students. well we get of the plane in a strange city ["i'm in a strange city" -guess that movie (David and Nicole)] and are greated by these super nice people and we pretty much completely rely and them and believe everything thety tell us and they lie through their little teeth.
We were told that recently there have been a few cases of drop bear attacks. They are these bears like look about the size of koalas, like a half bear half possum mix, with white-gray fur. They sit in trees and every once in a while drop down on people and maul them. well God knows none of us had heard of these terrifying creatures and our naiive little brains told us these new friends were trustworthy. The first few days in Aussie-land, the entire ASC group spent running underneath trees or avoiding them altogether taking huge detoirs in hopes of finding clears skies to safely stroll under.

Also, a couple days ago, I ventured to try the infamous vegimite. I have to say that I don't think I've tasted anything so horrifyingly awful in all my 19 years of exhistence on God's green earth. It tastes like pure salt mixed with a hint of peanut butter and death with a side note of pure evil. Try it, it makes you want to rip out your tongue.

On a more positive note, Tim Tams are God's gift from heaven.

time for Visual Communication in Culture. I'll probably post again tonight.
We're going to the Op-shops (thrift stores) in Newtown tonight. Everything in Sydney closes at 5. I'm not kidding. But the op-shops in Newtown stay open until about 11 on Thursdays so we're gonna have a little adventure. Apparently they have op-shops that let you fill a bag of clothes for like 2 bucks. we'll see :]
