Blackjack - Boxed Wine - Music Theory

I think I had an amazing weekend. I did end up going out to dinner with some of the IH'ers for Stephanie's birthday on Saturday. Afterwards I did some studying and I got the Pimsleur Korean lessons.

Alright, not so amazing. On Sunday, Will invited me to go to this barbeque in a place called Newport. Its about 25 minutes by train outside the city. At the jam were my Korean crew of late (Will, Lia, and Lana), as well as Will's housemate and 3 friends of theirs from one of their English classes. Anshin (Burmese), Yutaka and Hiromi (Japanese). We went through an entire box of red wine (4 Litres) and a fair amount of a box of white as well as half a bottle of Soju (Korean rice wine). We ate and drank in a park by the crevice in the Southern middle part of Australia. It was a really amazing place. The view was great and the weather was mild. Afterwards, completely inebriated as I was, I went to the casino with Lia and Lana. The lost a bit of cash on baccharat whereas I played a rather impressive streak of blackjack and took home $100 more than I started with. Following this, we went to my favorite Chinese-owned Italian restuarant where lots of hot Asian girls work. Oh, some point during the night I confessed to the girls that I am kind of in love with Lia. Not exactly sure how that turned out but I think it ended fairly well considering. Our waitress was Thai to my surprise and I kept trying to talk to her. Her name is Faa. Good stuff. Tomorrow after English conversation club, the bbq group and I are going out for a bit. Hiromi is going back to Japan on Wed. And Kumiko is coming on Tuesday.

Tonight I did language exchange with Lee. I learned quite a lot of Korean today. I am pleased.

Tomorrow I have a music theory test. I am not feeling too confident about it. I don't really know what to expect. I do know that I am pretty bad at rythmic dictation.
