I thought we didn't ACTUALLY have to do work here...

The past 2 days I've been trying to cram 4 months of marketing class into my big head. It hasn't been fun to say the least. Not to mention that my room turns into a sauna during the day, so the past two days I've sat here sweating my butt off trying to concentrate and study. My room is a mess, with papers and books thrown everywhere on the floor. To make matters worse I was listening to a lecture online and our teacher said "40% of kids failed this final last year, it'll be the same or higher this year." Great, just great.



Last night was Halloween, but they don't really celebrate here so no outrageous costume for me this year. Last year I went as Jackie Moon of ABA Flint Tropics fame. See: Semi-Pro and below. I dressed up as procrastinating-sweaty-kid-cramming-for-an-exam-in-a-heat-box. Terrible. I feel much better about it though because some of the people that did go out to the city said it wasn't too much fun AND there was a huge storm last night so everyone got soaked.



After this hellish exam on Monday I have 10 days of relaxation. My last exam is on the 11th and they gave us the questions already so it shouldn't be too bad at all. On Tuesday we have the Melbourne Cup, basically the Kentucky Derby of Australia, only bigger. It's basically the Preakness, Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes all rolled into one. It's a month long event, but the huge race is on Tuesday so that should be a lot of fun. A bunch of people from our Spring Break trip are in Melbourne and are going on Tuesday too so it looks like it's going to be a blast. That's about it for now, I should probably get back to studying. I'll update soon and also try not to fail my exam. Yeah.
