Happy All Saints Day everyone! I wonder how many of you out there actually knew November 1st was called something other than November 1st, or that there was even an All Saints Day in the first place, I’m hoping heaps of you did. But anyway, yeah, so I got an adequate amount of minimal studying done today. I was really unmotivated to do anything, but I think I’ll be fine with what I studied. The exams from the last three years seemed to all take from a very limited pool of questions (some were even on all three), so I’m banking on the trend continuing this year.
As soon as I finished studying for the night about 15 minutes ago I went over to the common room to check my mail, and lo and behold, I found two postcards in there for me! Josh sent me a very pretty postcard from Japan of Himeji Castle (I think in Osaka), and Heidi sent me a cool postcard of Buckingham Palace in London. Thanks Josh & Heids! Now this makes for four postcards I’ve gotten since I came to Australia, these two today plus one from Jill of Olin Hall (lol), and one from Mike of Lambeau Field. If any of the rest of you out there wanna get in on the action too, you’d better post it this week or weekend. 😉
As Election Day looms ever nearer (thank goodness, I can’t wait for it to be over and have real news again), I have to throw this question out there: why would anyone trust John Kerry to be our president? And to all those Bush-haters out there, this article from the Wall Street Journal might be right up your alley, with the author giving ten reasons he’s not voting for Bush. It’s really funny (not to mention completely satirical of the Angry Left)!
Well, tomorrow at 9:30 is my exam in Caulfield, then after that I’m probably heading down to Flemington Park to catch the Melbourne Cup, “the horse race that stops a nation.” Should be a grand old time!
