Weblog 19.8.06 Locked out and first time Squash

A nightmare keeps me from sleeping longer than 9 o`clock. It`s cause is the cockroach that wandered through my room yesterday. My dream goes like this: The cockroach shows up again and during my attempt to catch it another one twice the size shows up. My solution is opening the door and letting wander into the living room. Quite satisfied I close the door and when I turn around there are 4 more on the floor behind me. That`s about the time I wake up. What a great way to start the day!

While taking a break from studying I bring the Garbage out and let the door shut behind me. How stupid can one person be? So I stand in our backyard with no money, phone and key.
Kathy has just left and Jamie probably won`t open the door even if he is home. So my only chance is to go over to Mikkel who is sleeping on his balcony when I come to wake him up.

There is a solution to everthing.
Problem: Can`t get in.
Solution: Call campus security and ask them to let me in.
After 15 minutes I´m back in my room.

In the afternoon I finally sign up for the Gym. This is the beginning of my sports career here in Sydney! It hurts to pay the outrageous membership fee which nearly adds up to 60€/Month. But I talk the guy into a 30AUD discount which is at least something. My first activity is to play Squash with Mikkel. As expected he kills me in the game, but we still had our fun.

In the evening we stay home (I wouldn`t be able to get in my house otherwise) and watch Scent of a woman.

Lt. Col. Frank Slade: It's a great day for singing a song / It's a great day for moving along / It's a great day for morning to night / It's a great day for everybody's plight.
Lt. Col. Frank Slade: Clear them little bottles off. And when I get off the phone here, call up Hyman and tell him I want it wall to wall with John Daniels.
Charlie Simms: Don't you mean Jack Daniels?
Lt. Col. Frank Slade: He may be Jack to you son, but when you've known him as long as I have... that's a joke.
