Week 20

Had a couple of things happen this week although not too important. Tuesday night I had another volleyball game, but the team still hasn't won a match. Wednesday I had humane society on again and that night karate. Nothing really on Thursday, but on Friday I only had a half day because of the exchange meeting that afternoon. We went into Denver and had a light lunch until exploring the state capitol, which was rather boring to me considering that I saw Australia's Parliament house last year. We got to talk to a lot of the representatives (one of which was a pom) and got to ask and answer some questions of the difference of education systems. Following the tour all the party-goers went out to a Mexican restaurant to have some dinner. I didn't think it was that good. Just after getting off the bus we found a woman laying on the grass at like 8:30. Mum was called in to help but couldn't do much. The main event however, was on Saturday. I had Karate in the morning and at about 5:30 in the arvo, us and our carers all went to the Moody Blues concert at Red Rocks. It was a spectacular view which you could see for miles and all the lights of the cities were really bright. If you asked mum or dad they'd say that the music was good too, but I didn't enjoy them very much. The other really weird thing that happened at Red Rocks was that we were sitting next to a group of people smoking dope, so I spent most of my time breathing in through my jumper sleeve. Afterwards we headed back home and got stuck in very heavy traffic trying to squeeze out of the Red Rocks parking lot. That was the first major event of the weekend, and the second one is my first American cricket game. The game was pretty poor (by our team). I was the not out batsmen at the end, with a grand total of one run, which was pretty good considering I only faced two balls, and better yet beat dad's golden duck (faced one ball and then got run out). The game wasn't very interesting either, but some American lady came down and watched. She said she didn't have anything else to do on the Weekends so she just comes and watches cricket. She was as red as a beetroot too. Other than that we've just been lazing around doing routine stuff. Today was Dad's birthday (54) and he spent it marking tests.
