I went to the ZOO!!! Now most people over the age of six wouldn't have been quite as excited about this as I am, but that's not my fault. So when I say zoo I don't mean zoo like the bronx zoo or some lesser zoo (any), it was more of a wildlife park like the one we went to up at mole creek. It was still awesome. It was threatening to rain for most of the trip, but we were pretty lucky. We heard stories about an elitist frogmouth who wouldn't sit with the others and didn't know to be scared of birds of prey because he was hand raised. Another event that should be mentioned if the harrassment of Bob the Galah.

It was said he could talk, so Amy and Emily just stood on either side of him harassing him and trying to get him to talk, succeeding in scaring him more than anything else.

Finally the cockatoo sharing his cage yelled at full volume to scare us away. It was painful. After we did all the learning stuff we were allowed to wander around and plan how we were going to smuggle animals out. We ended by feeding kangaroos. One mother actually had a joey in a pouch, it was amazingly cute, not sure I'll ever get over it. We were not allowed to steal it.

Got back to college and then played squash with Schmidty. It started really well, I was just kicking his ass, 11-4. Then it got closer 11-7. Then it got terrifyingly close 12-10. He started using my own tricks against me, it was a little upsetting. At that point I suggested that we call it a day so the trend wouldn't continue. It was fun to get a some exercise in though.
