Can I embarrass this couple?

With our Sport Learning in Australia class from 11 -2 in the afternoon there’s not much else to do in the morning except take it easy and head to class. We usually get there a little beforehand in order to check our emails and catch up on American time. Today I think we took it a little too casual and left a little later than we had expected which made us rush to campus to try and get to class on time. We arrived only five minutes late, but that didn’t stop the teacher from teasing us (don’t worry, he does this to everyone). Before we could sit down he asked us if he could embarrass us and not thinking he had any hard evidence on us, we said go ahead. He mentioned to the whole class that we had walked back from the Rugby game last Friday night with us and thoroughly enjoyed it. He also went on to say that we got together, giving the idea to the other students that we weren’t already dating. I, Lauren, wasn’t too fond of that comment since we have been dating for almost two years now! Luckily, later on in the class he mentioned we were a couple which gave us some relief. Any-who, we both think that this class is still easy considering we are already half way through with this class! Even class time is a breeze since the professor is so laid back. This particular class we were all stuck having to go in front of the class and have a debate. Our side had to state how sports do not allow equality, or social mobility. It was quite the task to come up with evidence and reasons to support that, but once we got started it got easier. He said that the group that he agreed with the most would receive an ‘extra mark’, but I doubt we will ever see that mark! I don’t think we need to say who won… oh why not, our team won, surprisingly! We also got class cut short because of a field trip that was going to place right afterwards to the National Centre of Aboriginal Excellence. We were supposed to learn how sport and stereotypes are involved in the Aboriginal Australians, but I don’t really know if we ever did. We visited multiple people who told us what their jobs were and how they plan on changing the way aboriginal children are raised, which was pretty interesting. The question we were supposed to answer on this trip was: Does the success of Aboriginal sports such as American Rules football, Rugby, and boxing reject the stereotypes that are put forth on the Aborigines? Yes, Please tell us how we are supposed to answer that with the field trip we went on! Needless to say it was not the best field trip that we have been on so far, but it ended earlier than we expected and that made it fine with us. We had plans to return to IKEA to get more delicious chocolate as well as some more of their great food – chicken parmesan and cheese baked saithe. By the time we headed to IKEA, we were both exhausted from our field trip, but we wanted the food, plain and simple. The trip to IKEA started off great since we had our bike and scooter, but we did not expect what was to come next. A torrential downpour, when there were no clouds in sight whenever we left the uni. Maybe it was my fault because I was burning up after the field trip and said that I wouldn’t mind if it rained on us right then and there. Well that rain came earlier than I expected, just yards from IKEA. It seemed we were so close, yet so far away because when it rains in Sydney, it rains in Sydney! After a ten minute wait under a pavilion, we decided that it didn’t really matter if we got wet since it would probably be raining for a while. Boy, were we wrong. Like usual, the rain stopped right when we arrived at IKEA. We chose to tie our bike up under the carport and headed inside to dry off as well as wring out Riley’s socks. Not exactly hungry yet but completely exhausted we headed up to the restaurant to take a seat by the window. I think we both could have taken a nap right then and there! We had a great view of the city of Sydney that seemed so far away as well as all the planes landing and taking off at Sydney International Airport. After a while of waiting, we decided to order our food so we go ahead and chow down. I think we are addicted to the sauce that they put on the mashed potatoes because they are to die for! After we ate we went downstairs for the real reason for the trip to IKEA – the chocolate, plus the delicious frozen yogurt. We knew that it was time to head back before the night got too dark, or us too exhausted to make the trip back. The ride didn’t take long at all and we thought we were making good progress until Riley called ahead to me carrying the scooter. I knew something must be wrong. The scooter that we just bought was already taking a beating. As Riley was riding it, he had to slow down for the many ‘snails’ that like to walk on the sidewalk and when he did this, a quarter of the back tire broke off. We both agreed to never buy any airwalk product again. Luckily the scooter was still ride-able and we were able to get back to Broadway Street within no time. Exhausted from all the traveling that we had done in one day we took the rest of the night easy. We had to prepare ourselves for our first bushwalking field trip to the Royal National Park which we were both looking forward to.
