Water boy, Books, Night time

Alright so last weekend was the second round of games for the Razorbacks. Unfortunately for me I had missed a week of training and round one because I had been on the road trip. Also, I still kind of suck at footy. All of these reasons contributed to Scott, Will and I getting left out of the roster for the weekend. However, there is an agreement within the team that if you help them out during the game you are guaranteed a spot in the roster the following weekend. Anyways, Will and I were appointed water girls (haha) while Scott was assigned to the time keeping role. The game went pretty well with the Razorbacks initially down after the 1st quarter but from then on they absolutely dominated. It was alright being a water girl but it would have been a lot better to be on the field. It just feels demeaning to not be selected for the team and then have to watch it while delivering water to them. Its alright though because tomorrow Scott and I will get our shots on the field!

Also going on that weekend were a couple fun parties. One of them was at my friend Chico's place. He is the most Mexican person I have ever met and is as a result, hilarious. Will, Scott, Mike and I went there around 10:30 or 11 on Friday and arrived to the surprise of a bunch of people with their country's flag painted on their faces. We all went along with it and got the stars and bars painted on us. The party was pretty fun with a bunch of international students as well as a couple of girls who work for Unilodge(the place I'm living) as receptionists. I made the unfortunate mistake of letting people write on my arms and I woke up with a couple very vulgar sayings written on my forearms. Saturday night was a birthday party for a German down near St. Kilda. The building was a very tall apartment building literally across the street from the beach which was pretty sweet. The party wasn't great, but we met some fun people from all over the place. This included my first encounter with a lady from South Africa and their native language(Zulu maybe?)! That was amazing! Its crazy how seemlessly they integrate their tongue noises (tongue clicks doesn't really describe it accurately) into the language. I left kind of early though because I was exhausted. On the tram ride home I lost my phone, again! Uggh. It turned out alright though because I got it back from the lost and found on Monday. I still can't believe that I've lost my phone twice down here and gotten it back both times!

During the week I started reading again with a book I picked up last summer. It was by Agatha Christie and called "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd." I finished it on Wednesday night and then yesterday I went out and bought Harry Potter and The Half-blood Prince which I am really excited about and will probably finish it far too fast to justify the $45 I spent on it. Other events in the week included ladie's night at Space Bar on Tuesday and last night we went to a great club called "Seven." "Seven" was pretty cool with a bunch of different rooms with different music. One room played some great hip hop. I heard 2pac, Biggie and the first song I heard was "A Milli" by Lil Wayne as I was walking in. I was immediately sold on the place as all I hear around here is techno and the latest shitty music playing on the Top 40 countdown. I have missed hip hop so much! Actually, that's not really true since I listen to it whenever on my Ipod or computer, but I just hate the constant thump intertwined with the synthesizer of techno. This week Will and I also moved back our flights from the 27th of June to the 29th to give us a few extra days up in Cairns or on the Great Barrier Reef.
