From Iowa to Oz: May 2014

Much resi sports.

Such fun.

We played soccer the other night...which I admittedly sucked at. But when we played netball, I got the hang of it pretty quickly and I'm not saying our team won...but our team won.

The other day, we saw a koala on res! It was literally five or so feet from us. It was such a cutie...and to those of you who say to touch it or cuddle it...you obviously don't realise how un-cuddly of creatures that koalas are. They'd rip my face off.

Maggie had her 19th birthday the other night, which we celebrated in style. So many birthdays...so little time. The theme of the night was "High school stereotypes" so the girls in my house decided to go as goths...granted I ended up wearing an outfit that I would probably have worn regardless. Meng, Jonno, and Wu were geeks and look totes adorbs.

Many photos were taken. Many many photos.

Those of us who live in Kitchens 3 are completely sane...I promise...

Cuddling has been one of our favourite activities to do together as a house lately too...that and going to the gym!

The sunsets in Warrnambool have been unreal lately. I don't know if there's some Godly artist, decorating the sky with wide brush strokes, or if it's just good old Warnie saying good-bye.

I get bored on the way to the store...

YER A WIZARD JERRY. (My lecturer's name is Jerry).

Will the real #BenWatson please stand up, please stand up, please stand up?

For our last Marine Biodiversity practical, we took a quiz on arthropoda (boring) then got to study echinoderms! I got to dissect a sea urchin. The spineys were really brittle and broke off when I picked it up. Then I had to pierce the exoskeleton, which was pretty damn hard, so I took the dissecting scissors and stabbed into the side of the urchin like a serial killer...and that makes me sound like a psychopath...

We also watched a super badass video in class, where they had placed a mini camera inside of a limpet and we got to see a starfish protrude its stomach into the limpet's shell, liquify its insides, and suck it all back in. SO EFFING COOL.

The innards of the urchin smelled horrendous. Like someone had a room full of sour milk and dead animals. But it was so freaking cool. The yellow and black things are eggs and the whitish cylindrical piece is where the food enters the body. They have a water vascular system, so that's why there you'll see no blood.

My friends are better than your friends.

Went to see Bad Neighbors with #BenWatson, Aiden, Yarran, and Daniel. One of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. The casting was an arsenal of comedy perfection.

My housemates and I have also been religiously viewing The Voice weekly. Although I love Ricky, Joel, and Will equally, Ricky's team is BOMB.

There was some random, artsy-fartsy, sea thing going on in town this past Saturday when Sarah and I were on our weekly outing. Most of the decorations were made out of trash (which I'm assuming was found on or near the beach). It was a genius idea to enlighten the community about littering on the beach.

Also, Circus Royale, if you want to get people to come to your circus, get rid of that murderous clown on your flyer.

It was Rachel's 18th birthday the other night, so naturally...we had to get wasted. The beautiful Kittens is finally legal and now we can rage any time any place.

Also, for those of you who don't know, this is the Seanchai Irish Pub (aka the Shan). Drunk Alix thought it would be a wonderful idea to take photos of it for my blog. Thank you Drunk Alix.
