The Spider that Came to Class

This post is for my dad and Janet, who are both going to be stoked about this!

It is already very difficult to pay attention during class here at the Australia Centre. An obsessed crow already tries to get inside the window by repeated flying against it and squawking at the top of its lungs. A group of 30 -40 kids who are staying in the centre come down to the lake to launch sail boats at least a couple of times a week during lecture. There is always something crazy and distracting going on. The fact that a spider casually crawled in, took a seat on the desk in front of me, and proceeded to listen to the lecture for an hour didn't really surprise any of us.
Here is what spidey looks like

I need to research to find what kind of spider this is. He was awfully well behaved during the lecutre on marine oil spills. It was mostly the students who were a little freaked out by him, not the other way around.





























We ended up letting spidy go in some bushes outside of class. So, if you're ever in the Lennox area, keep an eye out for him. He'll be the one thats oddly very educated about the Exxon- Valdez.

  1. Your dad will have a stroke. I assume that is you holding spidey? Maybe he was just bored and wanted to see what this college thing was all about. :)
