Much like every other week, the school week was slow with nothing notable. We spent a number of hours in line at a steakhouse for free food on Wednesday. It was good, but I can’t believe they give away free food here, especially with the economic crisis, it would have cost them a fortune. Friday night I saw Wolverine, a fairly good movie that does explain some of the character’s past, but is kind of a cop-out because we knew he’d lose his memory at the end. Apparently they’re making a sequel though, following in the lines of the comic books where Wolverine heads to Japan to learn from a Samurai master on how to control his animalistic nature. Yeah, I have nothing better to do with my time then read the news sites.
Saturday, Louisa, Pavel and I were invited to Mr Hermanski’s house, along with the other exchange students at Hamilton, for a brunch. He has a beautiful house and his wife is just the most excellent cook. They’re really nice people and we all had a lot of fun just talking, eating, playing around with his (unloaded) hunting rifles and pistols and flicking through his library of history books. It was a good day.
Sunday was the baptism of Keeley Livia Cornell. It was held at a Baptist church and involved a service, which was very boring and I must admit I fell asleep during it. Afterwards it was off to the park for a picnic lunch, volleyball and a small celebration. I met some other exchange students there and they were sad to be leaving soon. I was feeling a little uncomfortable when they were saying what a great year they’d had and how they didn’t want to go home and all that. I kept silent, letting Louisa do all the talking. I can’t wait to come home. I just wish the company would hurry up and send me the details. It doesn’t take two weeks to book a plane ticket.
Gah, ok, calming down.
Anyhow. Can’t wait to see you all soon!
News flash. I’m leaving America on Saturday, night. I’ll be meeting my mum in Sydney and spending some time there before returning to Rockingham.
New update.
FUCKING BASTARDS!!! HOW DARE EF!!!
They promised my parent’s I’d be placed on a Qantas flight, so instead they put me on United, which I will not set foot on. So Lynn tells me I’m going home, I ring mum and no, I’m not. Apparently that was the only flight they could get me on. Fucking bullshit! That flight has been cancelled and now it’s going to take them another fucking two weeks to book me onto Qantas. I fucking hate this! Bastards, bastards, bastards. Here I was so excited and happy to be coming home and they have to go and screw me around. Fuck them!

wow. i wonder what type of animal is CEO of EF.. I’m thinking if we crossed a sloth, a chimp, a lawyer who works for a bank and Kevin Rudd, we may be getting close..
well on the bright side, you leave in two weeks.. although I’m not sure how bright that two weeks part is..
hang in there shay, it will all be over soon.
yes i agree fuck them they cant do anything right.
bastards they cant do anything right can they, it will be great to have you home again, i cant wait im syked, although your coming home when i have like a thousand assignments due and all my exams, which i just found out 2day i have another 1 bring my total to 4 exams which is double the amount i believe tom has, is that right tom? ahhhhh oh well at least we get you back. i cant wait miss u so much xoxoxox
Correct! Geez, somehow my assignments don’t seem so big anymore ><.
I say smother everything with love. As in:
I love you Ashayla, I just can’t wait to see you again, I miss you so much
and,
The EF could use copious amounts of smothering… applied to the facial/what-ever-you’d-call-that area.
^^ :L
In the meantime, though, I just hope that these last two weeks can stave off the hellish classification that most of the other weeks have proved themselves to be.
Can’t wait to see you step put into the perth airport’s arrival bay’s loving embrace.
Tommo xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo <33333333333
can u book your own flights????? there busses and things to take you to the airport so you dont really need them??? are you able to do that???
just a general enquiry haha ill come to sydney to meet you too
jen
they’d take all my money and i’d have to pay it all. i can’t afford it. there’s no buses from where i am to the airport….there’s no buses out here at all.
I guess you can never get your hopes up when EF is involved, can you? *sigh*
even if you do get back right in exam week.
Tom’s right, EF requires smothering, or a mail bomb, or some kind of retribution…
Anyway, can’t wait to see you again,
i’m tots right about her coming back on the 28th I think
probably. that’s for perth though. i’m heading to sydney for awhile first.
ahhhhhhhhhhahahahahahhahahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
i’m so glad ur coming home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i’m so happy!!!!!!!
still miss you heapsssssssss and heapssssssss!
and imma be there smothering you with tom!!
ilyffff!
YOU’RE COMING HOME TODAYYY
Ahhhh cant wait to see you Shay!! You should have a big catch up thing with everyone :O Well, after you get back from having a good time in Sydeny of course! Although everything didnt go as you had hoped over there, I hope at least the good experiences you have mentioned in you blog have made it a worthwhile experience for you! Nevertheless, you can always go back in the future and do everything on your own accord, without EF trying to ruin your time every two seconds… *evils at EF* I am sure then you would have a blast 24/7 and every moment would be memorable and worthwhile
(Hey, I might have to tag along :O lol) On a different note, I am seriously considering learning Chinese next year, so we could be in the same lectures/tutorials next year at U-Dub 
I think learning Chinese would actually help me learn Japanese…
Anywho, again, cant wait to see you and have a great time in Sydney!!
aren’t the two langauges completely different?
i’d love to learn mandarin with you maikeru! you me and andrew could practice together.
