So I had an exciting week this past week. On Wednesday, the horse races were free! So a couple of the housemates and I headed over there. We went to 3 races, betting a dollar on 2 horses a race. I picked the winning horse twice, walking away $15 dollars richer (I know its not much but it is still more than expected). Then on Thursday, I headed to the beach with Lieke and Anna and my surfboard, only to find there were no waves :( Literally, no waves, flat ocean. It was pretty sad. Friday night, I went to Lieke's place to cook and hang out. Saturday night, the gang headed out to an Australian Football League game (AFL). No, it is not football as in soccer. Basically it is a bunch of men with shaved legs and short shorts running around with a smaller version of a rugby ball. They can run with it, kick it, pass it, bounce it. They can get tackled. It is a circular ring, and at each end there are 4 posts. If the player kicks it in between the middle posts (whether in the air or by rolling), they get 6 points. If it goes between the outer posts, it is 1 point. It was alot of fun, but not nearly as much fun or enthusiastic as a Texas football game. Sunday was a lazy day, just doing homework and laundry. I have got class on Monday and Tuesday and then I head out to Brisbane on Wenesday. So next time I post, I will fill you in on all the fun I had in Brisbane. See you then :)
