I've been told off from home for swearing too much here, oops. My apologies to the people it offended, I'll try to keep that to a minimum from now on.

So yesterday morning was the start of the running club! We run four times a week in the morning: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Well, the term "run" is probably a bit misleading since we're really only jogging ... really slowly ... but anyway. Weekdays runs start from 7, Saturdays I think a bit later. (Luckily the meeting place is right outside my dorm.) The early factor isn't so bad, because since my class schedule was re-arranged, I now have no sleep-in mornings anyway (all my classes start at 9 or 10 now). For a 9 AM class I'd be waking up at 7:30, and for the running club I'm waking up at 6:45, so... it's not that much earlier. Plus, on the days I have 10 AM classes, it means I have a little extra time to get to do my make up and get to school or do any last-minute homework I forgot to do the night before.

The runs themselves aren't very strenuous yet, we're starting out pretty easy, and I was fine after yesterday's run. But today's was a bit harder and now I'm totally feeling the burn, ahaha. Also I need to go into the city today to attempt to find a sports bra because OW, my boobs. They hurt.

What else has been happening...

In my Japanese speaking class I was told to give a 2 minute oral presentation today on "anything I liked". The last two people who did them gave their presentations on things like their pets, and their winter vacation, which was kinda dull and sleep inducing, so... I decided to do mine on Austarlia's Dangerous Animals (Drop Bears Included). At the beginning of the speech, before you start you're supposed to write on the blackboard any vocab words that the class probably doesn't know, so before I even started the blackboard behind me was filled with things like:

"carnivore"
"to die a horrible death"
"to stomp on the ground"
"to be scared away"
"to drop on you from above"
"to be bitten to death"

And so on and so forth. It was pretty entertaining!


That's the end of this entry, so I'll leave you in total envy of what I'm cooking tonight: Pure deliciousness. Mmmm, omurice.

very entertaining. I am sure you kept your class mates awake with the drop bears! Glad you are enjoying the running club. It will get better. You actually get a high when you get into it. It may take a week or so to get past the soreness, considering you have done no exercise for years. When you go to buy the bra, don't forget a new mic, or view cam with mic. Was talking to Grandpa this afternoon. Am going to ask Gordon to hook him up to skype. he has been reading your blog. Goodness only know what he thinks of the language! He hasn't read the last 2 blogs yet. I am down to -3kgs!! Continually hungry.
Lots of love,
Mum

Hi Mum! How am I supposed to know that Granddad is reading my blog? Some advance warning would have been nice there...

Also I totally forgot to buy the mic, sorry.

Mish, Dad & I saw Merryl Streep & Alex baldwin & Steve Martin in Its Complicated, last night. Really hillarious. Her acting was brilliant. Boy has Alex Baldwin ballooned. He used to be handsome. Now gross.
And what did you cook ?
Dad says you can go to Soeul.
What are the plans for the summer holidays, and what will it cost?
Any chance of a proper skype hookup this w/e?
Love,
Mum

Hi Cass,
Have not heard anything for 5 days. How is everything going? Have you got a new mic or viewcam with mic? It would be so much easier to talk to you.
We still have not heard what these plans are for the summer holidays and what they are likely to cost. when are you going to Soeul?
Today, Dad & I went to see Omi in the morning, it was her 97th birthday today. we took a cheese cake. then we dashed off to Rueben Challis's bar mitzvah. Reuben is Jack and Reggie's grandson, and we were invited by them Also Eric knows Hannah, his mother very well, as she and Natalie were best friends as kids and have kept in touch. I also know Hannah, as I took photos of Rueben and his younger sister when they were younger ( this was at Reggie's invitation) Anyway the function was held at Chowder Bay, on the harbour at Mosman. A really beautiful venue. Also the food was superb. Afraid I broke my diet today, and cannot have any dinner tonight!! I will spend all week working it off probably! The new NSW premier Christine Keanelly was there!! I said to DAD, there is Christina Kneally. He said-- no, no, can't be. Must be someone else. She would not be here. I pointed her out, but Dad would still not have it. Antway about 15 mins later, Jack told us yes she was here. Apparently her husband did a MBA degree with Darren ( Rueben's father) So Mum is not so daft after all!!
Gabby was there of course, and has lost even more weight. You would not recognise him. He is now in his intern year at the Alfred in Melbourne.
Can't think of any other news.
Stay warm, study hard, have a wonderful time, and get on skype soon.
Lots of love, Mum
