Man vs Mild

Hey Hey Hey.

So since we last spoke there was Spring Break in California and two weeks back in Tucson.

Spring Break was very cool. I stayed at my parent's apartment in LA and it is pretty spesch. Sorry to disapoint those of you who are fans of String the rig and those of you who wish to put a black mark on any future career I may or may not have in the public eye, but there was no scandelous behaviour on my part. Although even if there was, I wouldn't share it here.

The highlight of the week was obviously watching the LA Lakers take on my Golden State Warriors at Staples Center. From a box seat no less. Unfortunately I forgot to put my flash drive in my camera so I couldn't take any photos. However for any doubters out there I have saved the ticket, so put a sock in it.

I also spent a rather large amount of time watching the NCAA tournament and took great delight in the fact that Arizona made it to the Sweet Sixteen (Quarter-Finals).

At some point during the week, I had the chance to spend a day cruising up and down Santa Monica. It was awesome, the best bit was seeing the ocean again. That is something that you tend to miss after five months in the desert. In addition, Santa Monica has a pretty sweet little, shops/cafe set up without being to full of itself.

Oh, and President Obama stayed across the road. Despite public outcry to do otherwise, I didn't not try and take on the Secret Service, just to say hello. That would have been rude.

The lowlight of the trip was definately coming back to Tucson. No, not because I was sentimental (you should know by now I don't feel emotion) but because it was a 10 hour train ride. Don't get me wrong, trains are cool. I'm a train rater not a train hater, but 10 hours going at 40mph can get a bit tidious.

Ok so that was LA. Super. Back in Tucson, there was a mad rush to study for one of my mid-terms. Which did not go so well. But the good news is that I was saved by the bell curve and am still in the game.

Interestingly, the subject is about armed conflict and one of my other units is about women in politics and in that class I am doing reasonably well. So you could read into this and say that I am a big girly man, or you could read into it and say that I'm all sensitive to the ladies needs and I am just what you are looking for in a life partner.

I think neither are correct. Its probably more likely that there are lots of intelligent women in that class and I don't want to look like a dickhead.

That weekend I went to my first frat party. It was not bad. Not bad at all. But rest assured, Australian University drinking clubs, you go just as well and often better.

This week just gone was dominated by study. I did manage to creep out on Saturday night, but that was really the extent of it.

My brother is coming out tonight, so that is exciting. I told him to bring a pair of 'loose pants' because I plan on taking him on a 'Chris Barty Cheeseburger tour'. I'll let you know how that goes.

OH! Jay-Z in exactly 3 weeks. Yep. Yep. Yep.
