So I was trying to go to sleep, but for some reason I’m really awake right now so I figured I’d write a post! This morning I woke up at 6:40 for absolutely no reason! Apparently this not needing sleep thing is happening a lot lately. So I went to the library to get some stuff done before my 9am chem. lecture. I don’t fully understand any of the concepts in chem…only partially. I’m just not interested in what we’re learning at all so I can’t be bothered to actually learn it. Hopefully I understand it well enough that I can get by on the exams. ;) After lecture I realized that I had left my Nalgene all the way back at the library! So I went back and luckily someone had brought it to the help desk. I came home and scrubbed it/rinsed it about 10 times—that may seem like I’m paranoid, but really, what would you do? I came home and took a quick nap because the getting up super early finally hit me. I went to lunch and then to marine lecture. I’m not understanding the material in that class right now either—but that’s not just me—the whole class is a bit lost because our lecturer goes through an incredible amount of material (that is all completely foreign to me) in a short amount of time. Anyway, Charlene wants to get together one day next week so we can plan out our itinerary for Fiji. She also really wants to rent one of these van-type-things (that apparently a lot of people do here) and go camping around the Byron Bay area one weekend. I told her about how I’m going to Byron Bay with my parents after break but that I still would probably be interested because a) it’s camping and b.) it’s the beach. Also, according to her, it’s not expensive at all to rent these vehicles for a few days.

So after class I came home and tried to convince James and Filipo that we just HAVE to go tomorrow to Gold Coast since the night life is supposed to be so good PLUS we’d have 2 days at the beach. And the hostels are cheap. They also think it’s a good idea, but we’ll see how it plays out. Either way, I will be there at some point this weekend—that’s what really matters!

After discussing with the boys I checked my email and found a response from my friends in Sydney that really cheered me up. Basically, I’m welcome to come any weekend after break—and both Lindsay and Taylor have a place I can sleep for the weekend. I’m thinking about going at the end of April because we have a 3-day weekend. I could leave Thursday morning and come home Sunday night and I’d miss 1 lecture. I could even get an early morning flight monday but it'd be about $20 more. I looked at flights this afternoon for quite a bit. I’ll email them with that date tomorrow or sometime soon to confirm it and then I’ll try to book the cheap flights while they’re still there! After some more looking at flights for other weekends and general daydreaming about my travels, I got to work. I had to get done my chemistry pre-lab stuff for Monday just in case we’re leaving tomorrow because I don’t know when we’d be coming back Sunday. It took me until 6:30 to finish, which is good because at 6:30 my hall had an outing to the fish and chips place that is in the shops that are walking distance from the University. It was a lot of fun . It’s an outdoor place and since almost everyone form the hall came, it was quite a big group of us. It’s a BYOB restaurant so a few people went to get some beer and wine while we waited but I was too lazy to get any. The food was good but it took such a long time for it.

I’m starting to get tired so I’ll end this post. Hopefully this weekend will be a success!
