Another day and it had its ups and downs just like any other. I woke up really early even though I don't have my lecture until noon. I have yet to sleep in past 8:30am since I've been here, even when I've been out late! I guess it's a good thing I'm not out late too much or I'd be quite sleep-deprived. So I went down to brekkie since I was awake and figured I should get something done. I came back to my room and read a chapter of my ethnography over again--I have to mention that since I feel very little pressure to do well in my classes,(in terms of grades, that is), it doesn't feel like work at all. So I had to do that though because I had to return the book by midday back to one of the libraries.
When I finished reading, it was still so early and I was feeling restless so I went for a leisurely speed-walk... is that a contradiction? Well not for me, haha. It was beautiful out--should I even mention that anymore? I think I will because, for me, the weather will never become redundant! I came back and caught my mom on instant messenger which made me very happy, even if she may not have realized it. I was nearly late to my lecture because I saw lindsay, the first of the canadian/american crew (haha) that I met when I got to Union and we started talking. She was very sweet and commented that it had been too long since we caught up and how were my classes and what was I doing this weekend etc etc. I've always thought she was the nicest, and after we talked I realized that maybe I would be doing some traveling with her. She has a field trip this weekend so she'll be gone, but so will I--at least for sunday when my hall makes our trip to surfers paradise! More on that in a second. So that encounter cheered me up some. Marine lecture was...long? We have a new professor for the next part of the lecture series and he's very knowledgable and asks the class a lot of questions and stuff, but he ran over in time by nearly 10 minutes! I'm quite happy I didn't have anything after to get to because I would've been so late. I went from lecture to the library to return the ethnography and then to the chemistry building because I had to turn in my chemistry lab calculations there in the electronic slot. The calculations aren't technically due until before lab starts next monday at 2pm but being typical me...haha. So I came home and made myself a pb&j in the dining room because lunch was about to close and no one was there to eat with. **On the topic of pb&j, I love how the aussie's cringe when I make it--most of them find peanut butter repulsive as it is, but to spread it on bread with jam? EW. I just remind them that they eat yeast extract with butter on their bread, and then everything is settled :)**
After I wasted about an hour doing nothing, I decided to go to the gym because I just couldn't wait until 5:30 for cycling. After that I showered and did nothing for a bit longer until it was dinner time. I had a sweet potato, bean, and tofu crepe. Who would've thought any of those things would ever be combined? Well it was pretty good.
I just watched some of a surfing documentary with Filipo and James and found out that...drum roll...they want to surf when we're at the beach on sunday! Tomorrow I'm going to suggest that we call up and make some sort of reservation at the surf school that I like :) I hope this all works out. I can never be too sure unfortunately! Oh and I secretly looked up all of these student trips up to the rainforest in Cairns and also trips to the Whitsundays. It's so addicting to just daydream about all of the places there are to see...
With persistence, I'll get at least some of what I want!
