Everybody went out for a post-first week of finals celebration, which was hilarious, as usual. We met up with a bunch of Christine's friends from jiujitsu who are CRAZY! We hopped to 3 different bars, and met....interesting people. The last bar we went to had several people dressed up in costumes, so I think we missed the memo or something, but seeing some guy dressed up at Hitler was.....awkward? Not as awkward as the guy wearing the bed-bug outfit though.....he was wearing a MATTRESS.....in a CLUB......weird....
So when we woke up the next morning, we all FINALLY went to an Aussie-rules football game between the Western Bulldogs (WOOO!) and the Brisbane Lions. It was nice to sit and gossip with the girls while watching the game, and all in all, had a good time watching the Bulldogs whoop up on the Lions BIG TIME. The score was something like 113 to 68. Ouch.....
On the way to the game, apparently a bunch of Melbourne Uni students thought it would be hilarious to dress up like ZOMBIES and march around Federation Square, so we got off the tram to what is pretty much my worst nightmare (I constantly worry that I will be caught in the middle of a zombie-horde unprepared). It was REALLY funny though to see people slowly wandering around and groaning. This one guy walked onto the tram tracks in his bloody zombie costume and marched up to the front of the tram, grumbling "braiiiiiiiins" at the tram driver. Classic.
Then as we were walking to the stadium someone pointed at Flinders Street Station (the HUGE train station in Melbourne) and said "TRAIIIIIIIIIINS". PRICELESS. I laughed for a good 20 minutes about that one.
Today was spent at the QV hunting souvenirs etc. to get my last round of shipments out the door before....I'M out the door. WEIRD. Have a final tomorrow also, and another on Friday, so it'll be a busy week.....arg!
