Hello, dear reader! I hope this finds you well. I think I'm getting sick again. Booo-urns.
The big news of this week is THAT THE SUN IS OUT. And it is out for long enough that I can actually feel warmth from it when I am outside, can feel heat coming in through my windows. It is beautiful and majestic and wonderful and a whole eight degrees outside. Isn't that ridiculous? That would be middle-of-winter-rug-up-and-stay-home weather in Sydney but here everyone is outside, sitting on the lawns drinking, in the parks, and in my case celebrating only wearing one layer, namely one t-shirt, jeans, and my coat (and scarf and gloves while riding). But it is so great, I wore my sunnies outside on Sunday (blog to come!)... and promptly stepped on them Monday morning so had to buy a new pair. Good to know that the rules of the universe haven't changed for me, namely that sunglasses have a very limited lifespan. My new ones were $10 from the Kmart/Coles crossover place, which will hopefully not suffer the same fate as their predecessor. But I'm not particularly hopeful.
My football team had a match last week, they ended up losing. But it was fun to watch. Everyone was wearing long sleeves and pants and when they started I didn't think it was that cold to warrant that but damn by the end (about 6pm) it was freezing and I completely understood! They had kids matches all the way up til about 5pm too, space is clearly a premium here!
So on to the title of this post. My uni is pretty cool, have I mentioned that? Last week they had a dodgeball tournament. Inside one of the large seminar room type things, just a few strung nets, a whole lot of orange balls and people willing to hurt each other for entertainment.
And it was entertaining! Dressing up was encouraged so there were a few pirates, ninjas, fluro people, cats, I don't know what else. Was a fun way to spend the afternoon!
Vi ses!
