October 7

Slept in for a while after the raucous night and woke up with a slight hang over, despite not drinking very much! UGH. The mysterious man who fell asleep in our red room was gone, and the hole is still there. =( I made the mistake of telling half-stories again which got me into trouble and so I dealt with the fallout from that for the morning, while making a delicious breakfast. Went back to my room brooding about all of this, and then heard some screams from the girls and them call out for Michael! What on earth?! I thought there must be another large spider or something inside. So I came out and asked what the matter was, half expecting to run into something I didn't want to see. But when I got to the main room, I saw it POURING water from the ceiling!! Lina was already in action putting trashcans and towels down. I took the computers out of the room, and then Jillian and I ran upstairs to find out where it was coming from (we already knew it was the laundry machine). We found Michael soaking up a giant puddle of water in the hallway, spilling from the laundry machine!!! We came back downstairs and most of it had stopped, but it was bad! Michael came down to inspect the damage and told us what happened - the groom spewed in the laundry machine and took the hose out of the back, so water just went all over the floor. UGH. Anyway, then I took a shower, but turned around and saw Michael and Ryan walk past the window and I screamed, then quickly finished up.

Already a pretty crazy day, I decided to head to campus early because I needed to do a fantasy draft and get ready for class. I thought the draft was at 1:30, so I thought getting on the noon bus would be extra early! But on the bus, I realized the draft starts at 12:30 instead!! There's no way I could make it to campus sooner than 1pm. So I missed 30 minutes of the draft, 4 draft rounds, and got some pretty shitty players because I had stacked my picks in some crazy order... UGH. I didn't really make up for it, because I was so flustered and not ready, but whatever. I'm not too concerned with winning this year because I know I'll be incommunicado during November and Jan/Feb while in South East Asia. Soo, basically I'm screwed anyway. Oh well.

Then I had class, but was highly distracted and flustered the entire time because my mind was reeling from events of the day. Manuel even asked me what was wrong, because he could tell I was so out of it. After class, I had a group project and we met to discuss our presentation. This group seems a lot more disorganized than my other group. I wish I had the same group, but oh well. After an hour orso, we were hungry and couldn't think straight, so we decided to meet again the next day to finish it up.

I tried to turn my day around on the way home... Some lady asked if I had change and only had a 5, I checked and only had 85 cents. So, I just gave it to her. She was so shocked and I was like, whatever, don't worry about it, it's only 85 cents. Then at the busstop, I helped a guy from Holland who had just arrived in Brisbane and told him what to do here and helped him get off at Rosalie. Two good deeds and I felt a little better about myself.  Jillian made chicken and then I fell asleep at like 8pm! Whoops.
