Cocktail Parties and Pirates

Some friends had a farewell party for me. There was a map of Australia that said " we Canberra to see you go but good luck with your koala-fications" and a kangaroo whose pouch was filled with all kinds of good wishes for me to read over the next 10 months. There were beverages, appetizers and dainties of a down under flavour. At the end of the evening we were each given goodie bags. Mine included survival kit items for me on my student living journey: a dollar store pregancy kit, a book of Coed living rules for having fun but staying safe; lots of chocolate and tablets that once soaked turned into facecloths. The men were given pirate hats and sabres.
