You didn't tell me you had PASTA!?!

Sunday was a great day, let me tell you. Went to my first rugby game; Brissy lost, but they were missing most of their starters and it was still fun to be there! We had great seats and all the Butler kids sat together. The roommates and I matched, unintentionally and embarassingly haha. same color shirt, three different sleeve lengths; oh, it was cute. The game was really fun to watch and I got some tips on everything from Christi's, our ifsa rep, boyfriend. Useful since there are still a few things I obviously don't understand. There were the big dressed up broncos that were waving from the sidelines, and the cheerleaders with their gigantic pompoms came and did dances to...no music. We laughed and cheered and then sighed when we knew it was over. That took up a big chunk of the afternoon, and we got back in time to eat dinner before I realized I needed to head over to campus. Brett, one of the guys from frisbee, invited me to a christian worship meeting...kinda like CO? Those who know me at school know that I'm not exactly a CO person...but this was a bit different, which was good. Enjoyable, met some cool people, the talk was alright. "Store your treasures in heaven." We had a discussion, and I met the leader, Rich, who had been working there for 7 years now.

Afterwards, Brett, John, Bree and myself decided to find food. Subway #1 was closed, went to the one in Toowong, and John and I decided to be cheap and make pasta back at my apartment. Brett, not being in on the discussion, got all upset that we did not include him in this free and tasty alternative to a footlong sub. We drove back to my place, put on the pasta, and they got to meet Debbie and Jess. Finally, my two worlds that I have here collide, and it was great. Non stop laughter, thanks mostly to Deb, and pesto to go all around. Yum. After a bit of time here, John, Brett, and I went back to Brett's place to watch tv, and chat. Midnight came around and time to head back. I kind of had class the next day that I needed to get ready for...

Classes still going well! I love my tutorials alot; great discussion and the people are nice. I really like my world religions tute; this week we made up our own religions that had to line up with Ninian Smith's 7 Demensions of Religion. Ours was chocolate. Our diety was Willy Wonka, and we had all aspects of a religion; even a pilgrimage to the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory! We enjoyed that, and our tutor said he just might convert. Belief and Unbelief tute was better this week than last; there was actual discussion! Thank goodness! I met a guy, Ben, from frisbee who is in that class, and he might be switching to my tute, so that'll be nice to have someone I know in there.

Today I had lunch with Rich, the leader from Unimpact, which went great. We went to the Subway that I attempted to go to on Sunday. We talked about our background, why I'm here, what's possibly in store next. It was great, and I hope to be able to have more talks as I go along. I love one on one chats, so it was nice. I spent an hour getting to know him before I had to head back to campus for my one class of the day. I about an hour I'm getting ready to leave for Sydney until Sunday morning where I'll fly out around 8 am. I'm really excited about the 3 full days I get to play tourist down in Sydney and visit with friends from the Butler orientation up at Noosa that is already a month in history. wow, it's been so long already! So be on the lookout for another entry when I get home to update on the trip!

Peace and love.
