So I must apologize for not writing in here any more than I have been, but this week has been very difficult school wise. This next one is already proving to be worse, so posts this week might be slack as well. But a lot has happened, and but I’m afraid I must be brief since I have a 25% of my final grade in a test tomorrow that is going to be extremely difficult. Here goes.
This week has been fairly typical in many ways, which is weird to think like that since if I was home, so very little of it would seem typical. Surfing almost every day, no matter the weather, night walks on the beach under a completely clear Southern sky, making Kangaroo Fajitas, public transportation to school, and huge tropical birds in our backyard.
The week has also been exquisitely different in a few ways as well. Mainly, the celebration of my friends Devin and Andrea’s Birthdays. We made a huge pot of Chicken Alfredo, which was fantastic, then went to the beach to hang out and play guitar, and finally went to some of our friends’, from Ultimate Frisbee, house to hang with them. Quite the fiesta.
Today, we woke up an hour later than usual, since we get to Fall Back, again. We lucky American’s get the awesome privilege of falling back three times in a row. Also, I recently found out, that when we travel back to the U.S., we will arrive there approximately 3 hours before we left. How cool is that?
Also, Kansas played North Carolina today, which was the greatest game of the century! Until Tuesday at least, when they are going to win the Championship. I gotta give North Carolina credit though. At one point early in the game, they were down by about 25 points, and they came very close to winning the game. KU was only able to inflate the score at the end for a larger victory since N.C. had to start fouling for time, and KU made like every freethrow. It happens. I think the best part of the game was that we got to all go down to the bar/pub on the water to watch the game on the big screen. Everyone who was a KU fan was there, mostly other American kids, but some surprising local Australians turned up as well. Great fun.
Now I must go study for this crazy hard test.
As Shakespeare once said “…whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. Or to take arms against a sea of troubles…” Thats what I feel like right now.

Love the Hamlet reference Sam! Anyway, I’m sorry that this week is going to be so rough for you, but I wish you all the luck in the world!
Hang in there, Sam. You can take care of this really hard week….especially in light of the fact that you have two weeks of spring break coming up, one of which will be spent in New Zealand. I think you can endure anything for that reward! Now, for the sky diving and bungee jumping…..you had better think twice or three times before you decide.
I love you -
Rock Chalk Jayhawk, GO KU.
This is a happy place. KU wins, Royals win their home opener, signs of spring. . .
Life is good!!!!
