Not a whole lot to report today... We had a quiz in each class earlier. The quizzes weren't really that difficult... To give you an idea, the first quiz's essay question (worth the most points of any single question) was "Describe a few of your favorite experiences in Sydney thus far." Yeah. Then the second quiz started out with a bunch of multiple choice questions like "Who is teaching this course?" and "Where are we?" Not the most difficult quizzes I've ever taken.
I also went out and got some Thai food yesterday at a restaurant called Thai-Foon. Har har. Oh, and the funniest quote of the last couple of days is "a billion o'clock in the morning." Definitely using that in the future.
In hindsight, I really really wish I brought my guitar with me. I'm starting to go a little crazy not being able to play an instrument or sing (my voice is still pretty messed up from my cold). I tried to use the piano in the lobby of the hotel, but basically was told that wasn't okay. Psh... they should lock it up, then... morons.
OH... Speaking of morons in the hotel lobby, a few friends and I wanted to check out Luna Park (Sydney's equivalent of Coney Island) last night. First I called the front desk and asked if they knew how late Luna Park was open... They said "roughly 10 o'clock." ...Roughly. Okay. So to make sure, I went downstairs and told them I wanted to know how late the park was open and asked them to look up the website that was listed in our guidebook. They tried for fifteen minutes (no joke) to find the Luna Park website. Apparently the URL I gave them didn't work and they couldn't find the actual website... FINALLY they find it and tell me that the rides at the park aren't even operating that night and they're only open to 6 o'clock on the other weekdays anyway. Great. So they ask me if I want a printout of the information, to which I reply "yes, please, that'd be great." They proceed to hand me the printouts... along with a LUNA PARK BROCHURE which had ALL the information I needed on the back. WTF?!
Ugh. Anyhow, I'm about to run out of time on this computer, so I should get going. But thanks to all that are posting comments... Please keep it up! And if you know, please answer my poll question about Blue Moon (lemon or orange garnish?)!
later,

I think it's either with a slice of orange, or a twist of lime. The prior being the traditional and IMO the tastier way of enjoying a Blue Moon brew. I haven't had one of those in years though... and it's kinda odd knowing that it's a Molson's beer.
DEFINITELY orange. definitely. definitely.
