Oh my, my, my.  What a week this has been!!  My last day of class was today (hip hip hooray!) and as I’m sure you know – studying for finals is HECTIC!!

I ended up enjoying the class – who knew Counter-terrorism and Human Rights would prove to be fascinating? There is so much to consider with regard to the delicate balance between security and liberty.  A nation must be secure in order to provide liberty but protecting certain liberties can endanger security! A bit of a catch-22.

We fared ok on our sucky group presentation but we didn’t get an A.  5 years ago I would have cried because I didn’t get an A – but I’ve decided that because this was out of my control (stupid group work!) I don’t need to fuss myself about it.  We got a B.

After class I headed out with the FM’s GF and I’ll tell you what – I love that girl!  She’s CRAZY!  lol.  She calls me a “shocka” all of the time – but I think maybe she’s projecting.  HAHA!  Ok – maybe we’re BOTH “shocka”s.  She’s on the far left in the pic below.  Her hottie sis is in the background and the cutie next to me?  That’s Ben.  He reckons I should go camping while I’m in  Australia.

I think camping is a great idea and all but I have this phobia of worms.  Oh yes.  Worms.  I’m terrified of them.  I can’t look at them, the thought of touching them makes my skin absolutely crawl and they live in dirt.  And I don’t like dirt.  But there is a lot of dirt when you camp. Or at least I think there is a lot of dirt when you camp.  There is in Utah! 

Wait a minute – Daisy – you’re afraid of worms? but you have an eyeball in your mocktail? Yep.  That’s right.

Haha!  doesn’t that drink look absolutely foul?  The nasty egg looking thing is a lychee and the black floaty things are passionfruit seeds.  SOOOO delicious.  It just looks like eyeballs and guts.  I think it’s my new favorite non-alcoholic beverage.  Tart, yummy, fruity and the carbonation in the Sprite makes your tongue tingle.

Ok back to like one of the worst subjects on the planet – dirt  and worms.  One time I ate a Harry Potter Jelly Belly that was flavored ‘earthworm.’  Disgusting.  I about gagged and then even after I spit it out I STILL almost threw up.  So gross.  And traumatic.

Why did I do it?  Because the guy I was sharing the Bertie Botts with said he’d eat the vomit one if I ate the earthworm one.  Yeah – he got the better end of the deal.  I’ll be haunted by that flavor FOREVER!

Anyway – I think I’ll try to go camping.  I mean – sure – Australia grows deadly gross stuff (ex: snakes or spiders) and that means they probably most likely have killer worms…   But Ben goes camping all of the time and I don’t think he’d tell me to go if he thought I’d be attacked by killer worms.  But you never know – I could be wrong.  I hear killer worms like to eat redheads in particular – and Ben did offer to accompany me … maybe he wants to FEED me to them.
