Aussies, O'Neal & The Beast

This message comes from the second-seeded checkers player at Butler University, as determined the other night at Spring Sports Spectacular.

I met my first Aussies the other day since being here. How weird it was to hear an Australian accent. Nice tho! It was some people from Macquarie Uni who were organising for a group of students who are coming over for a summer programme.

I had my second bout of hanging with famous people at Broad Ripple last week (you may remember my encounter with Darren, sorry, Jared, from Subway). I was lining up to get into '7' and I saw a pimped-up Rolls Royce pull up. It was Jermaine O'Neal of the Indiana Pacers. It was not of total suprise as he owns the club. So when we got in he was hanging out with his crew on the upstairs balcony. They mic'd him up and he did his big thing and said in clebration of the last night of the regular season and with the Pacers going into the playoffs, 'the bar is open'. So it was free Jager and Bulls for a while! Nice. I got the high five from him later on when our paths crossed in one of the club's passages. Massive guy - 6'11" power forward!

I rode the worlds longest and fastest wooden roller coaster on the weekend in Ohio. 'The Beast' has held the title for over 25 years.

This time next week, the Spring semester will be over. In less than 3 weeks I will be in my new accomoodation. University Terrace. Cant beat $30 a week rent. Its subsidised for the summer. By that time I will be busy working at the baseball and hoipefully doing some other cool stuff!
