Wow, I don’t even know where the last week has gone. I’m quite sick at the moment, so this post might seem a bit random. I was fine until Saturday night. Everyone else was sick was me, so I was like Captain Immunity! But I woke up Sunday morning with that prophetic little irritation in my throat and it’s been downhill since then. But not to worry. It only got really bad last night, and after sleeping all day today (Monday) I’m feeling a bit better.

So on with the official news. Classes have ended. Now we’re heading towards some hateful exams. I have two on Friday, one on Sunday (for shame!) and the last one on Monday. So I’m trying to force myself to read and read and study and study.

On Wednesday, after our final Dante class, we had a Dante party at Professor Miller’s house. It was excellent! James was making some mean martinis (Dantinis), we met his infamous dog Manfred, there was some t-shirts given out for the people in the class that had completed three of the four Dante classes in the cycle and we met some cool people! Here are some photos…

Here is James with the hat he created for this semester. He has one each semester that reflects parts of the cantica we’re studying. You can’t really see it here, but he even included our very own Southern Cross constellation in the stars for Trudy and I.

Some girls from my class and I - Lauren, me, Danielle, Maggie and Vanessa.

In other news we had a relatively quiet week. I got my hair cut, went and saw Lucky Number Slevin with Tom, and on Saturday Michael took Kenny, Casey and I to Toronto where we did some clubbing. I can now say I’ve been to Woody’s and Babylon from QAF. Although Babylon is actually called Fly. Woodies was really fun. We also went to this other club called 5ive where the air conditioning was broken and we met Frankie and Grayson. After standing in a confined space with about 500 other people for an hour, the Canadians were ready to die (we were having flashbacks of some oppressive Australian summers). We stayed at this really nice hotel too, and Michael and Kenny gave us a foot-tour of Toronto on Sunday. Unfortunately everything was closed because it was Easter Sunday, but there were still a few things going on so we were quite entertained. Photos from Toronto soon.

Not long until home time now. But first, I shall focus on exams. I hope everyone is well!
