Cough Cough

I have had a nagging cough and bad cold since mid last week so I finally went to the doctor on campus tonight. Turns out I have bronchitis, so he wrote me a couple prescriptions to help clear it up. I’m going to take it easy this week and hopefully I’ll be feeling better by my birthday this weekend. I think we are going out to dinner Thursday night to celebrate both mine and Ashley’s birthdays (hers is today). I still have my birthday card from Grandma to open on Friday too – I’ve been saving it since August when I left (that is some serious self-control if you ask me)!!

The concert last week was so awesome and the secret party was so much fun too. Turns out it wasn’t at Q1, but on an equally cool level it was at the Big Brother House. I don’t know if you’ve ever watched the American TV show, but Australia has their own version and the party was at the house they use for the reality show. It made me want to watch the series here, but obviously they are between seasons right now.


We are going to Melbourne Halloween weekend. I doubt we’ll get to dress up for any Halloween parties though. It’s more of an American holiday. It will still be fun, and we are planning on going to a day of the Melbourne Cup. It’s a huge horse race they host each year. I got a dress and I’m going to wear my roommate’s floppy white hat. She got it to wear for a race day they had around here earlier in the semester.

I have a huge midterm tomorrow for one my classes. Like I mentioned earlier, I don’t have a lot of homework and assignments in my classes because so much of our grade depends on the midterm and final. So off to study – more updates later this week!
