An Unlucky Day

Wednesday April 26th – Today was just not my day overall. We finished up our residential portion of our cane routes toady and we have all traveled that section solo. Right before lunch Sue and I made American chocolate chip cookies. We had bought a bag of Toll House chocolate chips when we went to the USA food store. We used the kitchen in the dorm and with Grant giving us suggestions and critiquing each step we made the cookies. I’m not sure why, but they didn’t turn out a well as we had hoped. We did have to substitute baking power for baking soda and the sugar we had to use was raw sugar. Could this have something to do with it, any chefs out there?

In the afternoon we began reviewing and planning how to teach the next section of our routes. This will take place in a busy business/shopping district on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy (for those of you who have been here).

After class Sue and I went into the city centre to do some shopping. It was a less than productive trip as we didn’t get much shopping in before all the stores closed. Also a bird pooped on my head as we walked around AND our meter ran out before we got back and we got a $50 ticket! Really not my day. Once we got home I showered, scrubbed my hair, and planted it on the couch, I’m not risking going out there again tonight!

Aussie of the day – “Rocked Up” which means to arrive or show up somewhere. “What time should I rock up to the party tonight?”
