Today was eventful! After I ended my finance lecture, Sara and I went to the spot for an ARA consult. The tutor was wearing the funniest cartoon shirt, I couldn't help but laugh. I clarified my doubts but as soon as I left the room, I was clueless again!

Met Jo at the tailors and collected my Oh So Cute Dress! We then searched everywhere for a stock pot but to no avail :( Target, Big W, The Reject Shop, NOTHING!!! Aunty Grace and Nadia were in Big W, what a coincidence! I then followed him to Port Melbourne...

Oh Port Melbourne...what an adventure! We didn't know where to get off the tram so we exited at some place called Graham St. Jo asked this stranger for directions and the guy said he had a map in his car so we followed him over to his car. I was very apprehensive so I walked a few steps behind them just in case the guy took out a knife, I could still run away. According to the map, where we wanted to go was in some industrial area so there was no public transport and it would take us 30 minutes to walk there. The guy then offered us a lift to Douglas St. I was even more apprehensive...his car was a red pick up truck and it only had two seats. Jo and I squeezed into the passengers seat and he drove us to Douglas St. He was a good guy after all and he didn't kidnap us :) My first hitch hiking experience!

At Douglas St, the guy wanted to check Jo's id before he gave him the package and I was so scared he wouldn't give him the package cos his id didn't have his address on it. However, he double checked with his colleague and was able to give Jo the package. It would have sucked to have gone all the way there and not been able to get the package.

The smart thing to do was take a cab back and that's what we did. I started cooking my stew at College Square when I got back but I was so hungry that snacks were needed. First I had yoghurt then we made roasted marshmallows! Jo's marshmallows kept catching fire but mine were nice! I completely forgot to turn off the stove after roasting the marshmallows so the fire was on the whole time. Then we made chicken nuggets but we had to wait forever cos my fridge froze my buttermilk! They were tastyy, so tasty I ate like more than 10 of them!

When the stew was done, Sara came over then we ate and watched 'The Mentalist'. Cleaning up after cooking stew is an absolute bitch! After we cleaned up, we went for dessert at San Churro <3 Dessert makes me happy!

Not much to say about today, the day was filled mainly with lessons. Sara and I went to pick up my munchies during my break and we got kinda lost. This lady managed to point us in the right direction without knowing where we were going, amazing! I bought beef for stewing at the butcher and he was nice :)

I cooked dinner for Sara and Claire. After dinner I tried to start my finance and ARA assignments....I have one word for those assignments...WHAT????? I am beyond clueless!!! It was so stressful trying to do those assignments, I was pulling my hair out. I read books, searched the internet, read my lecture notes and tried some exercises but I was still clueless. I emailed Uncle Dom, Aunty Kim and Ian with my finance assignment. Aunty Kim emailed Uncle Graham and Ian emailed his Dad. They all sent back emails with words of advice yet I am still kinda clueless. I really want to go to Aunty Grace's house this weekend but I HAVE to finish my work first!
