Deportation and mangos

A small summary of things that have happened in the past few days that have slipped my mind:

During orientation, we were all scared out of our minds that we weren't going to survive the semester without one of us getting deported.
Miss orientation, DEPORTED
Skip class, DEPORTED
Borrow a shopping cart, DEPORTED
Go to the bathroom during class, DEPORTED or the lecturer (not professor) just hates you and fails you
Drink alcohol, DEPORTED
Eat food in the common room, DEPORTED
Have an overnight guest, DEPORTED
Sneeze too loudly less than 25 meters from a library during the hours of 1 and 3 pm, DEPORTED AAAGGGHHHHHH
Kidding, but that's how the paranoia feels.

Good news though, if you're not deported, it's likely you'll fail your classes, regardless of how hard you work on them, UNLESS you spend three weeks studying for your final exam, on which 60% of your grade rests. No lie.

I miss my camera. Need some gorilla glue.

Actually it's been quite nice the last few days, even got to sleep under my blanket!! :D and with clothes on.

Against all odds, learned how to pronounce an Australia "o" sound. Was approved by a local Australian whose exact words were, I believe, "Yeah, that was perfect!" If ya'll wish, I'll demonstrate in my next vlog.

Sunday market!! Best thing since being here, it's a huge building full of tons of little gift shops and clothing booths and everything you can ever want, but the main attraction is the fresh produce, which they start giving away cheap at the end of the day.
Asian vendor: "COME GET YO MANGO, TWO DOLLA! GOING SO FAST, ONLY 2 DOLLA, HURRY, HURRY"
Me: How much for two ears of corn? (I'm having corn on the cob tonight, whaddap)
AV: Fo dolla! Get tree fo five dolla!
Me: Ok (don't mind if I do, more corn for me mwahaha)
AV: I give you four corn fo 5 dolla, yes?
....score.

Also, you can barter. Don't wanna pay five dollars for that bag of strawberries? Well don't. Pay four. Or maybe even 3.

All in all, a good day. In case you were wondering, I also got a swimsuit bottom for 3 dollars at the local grocery store.
