The crazy last week! *Edit on stolen tickets pics - got em!!*

You think with Maria's computer in my room all week I would have had time for updates but nope sadly I've been doing other things... usually not homework either! Anyway I am updating now so it is ok! So a few eventful things have happened since I last blogged, two weeks ago our very own Australian Jess (from Deakin) entered our UVic Idol contest at Felicita's the uni bar. Of course she rocked the house out with Natalie Imbrulia's 'Torn' and totally made the judges fall for her! Our whole international family plus many Canadians turned up to scream the place down - it was crazy! So super cool Jess made it through to the second round which will be in a few weeks, go Jess!!! Hick made an appearance till the security found out she had jumped the fence (damn drinking age shouldn't be 19!!) Big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Negin who turned 21 on the same night too!! Gem also came to visit me before she left :'( So we got to hang out for a night which was cool and she saw a bit of Victoria! But now she is gone and it is just me once again.. Then the following Saturday we started our res soccer, it was a great day and to top it off we won 5-0! Did I mention how much I love outdoor soccer!! Then that Saturday night the Sub Stance party ended the busy week! It was crazy, over 2000 tickets sold apparently and it pretty much consisted of the whole SUB (Student Union Building) been closed off with various bands playing over 3 stages. So two events happened... 1. TASH was looking HOT! and 2. The underage Canadians totally stole the night getting into the sold out party with home made tickets and borrowed ID's!! Now I'm not talking cheap crap paper tickets! These were the real deal, print on both sides, photos paper and a perforated edge! They were classy! Ill try and steal their photos and blog them for you guys!

Pre drinks before the Sub Stance - Superstar Jess, Negin, Lene, Nina, Maria, myself, Hanna and Andy!

Gabby and Hick Hayls hard at work with the ticket production!!

Gab, Matt and Hayley with their genius design!

Now come new updates, On Saturday Matt and I went to watch Gab race for the UVic Vikes! So we made our way to Beacon Hill Park downtown to watch Gab run in a 4 km race! She did awesome and thanks to her run she is now spending the weekend in Arizona running!! Sunday was the Run for a Cure event help around the UVic campus. The annual Pink Ribbon Appeal held another run to raise money for breast cancer research. I got up at 6 to volunteer as a track marshal while Tash and Gram ran in the event! Was a great day and felt good to help out! Monday night we threw a surprise for Shana who turned 22! Hick and Sarah came in to play our favorite song, Diana! A song written by the girls in high school! I've got it on video so ask to see it, it is great! So Happy 22nd to Shana! Also happy 22nd to Dave who also turned the big 22 tonight.. Drinks tonight anyone?? :) Finally yesterday (Tuesday) I went on my first field trip in Canada! It was for a subject called Wildlife Management and we went to a place called Wild ARC rehabilitation Centre which is located about an hours drive from Victoria. We went in a big YELLOW school bus - YES an actual real yellow school bus!! While there I got to see baby raccoons, a mink, a few different kinds of birds - including a Bald Headed Eagle which had sadly died that morning as well as some baby squirrels! It was pretty fun! I think that may be it for the updates, not much happening now uni is into full swing and lots if work to do!! INCLUDING midterms already!!! Yep I had one today ahhhh!!! Hopefully I will get out a bit in the next few weeks! Happy Thanksgiving for Monday. Love you all xox
