i'm currently in adelaide, where i've been for the past week. the week before break was exceptionally hectic trying to finish bio and chem projects. however, i managed to get everything done, so i've been able to relax over break!
the night before i was supposed to leave, timmy and rob decided they needed to stay up alllll night so they could say goodbye to me in the morning. would have been so sweet, except there's a hole in the wall between rob's room and my own, so them staying up=me staying up! i don't even know why union bothers putting walls up. i think i fell asleep somewhere around 3:48 am. and then woke up at 4:00 am to grab a taxi and head to the airport. what sort of moron schedules a flight for 6:30 am!? me, apparently.
break has basically consisted of me being a lazy bum. the weather has been FREEZING and rainy, so unfortunately we haven't had any beach time. but i've worked out everyday at the saies' super nice gym (and bummed out in the steam room, sauna and hot tub!), gone out to delicious meals paid for by susan (we went out to an amazing tapas dinner last night that included STINGRAY wing. i feel like i may be shunned from marine biology), and gone shopping. every. single. day. yes, i have been shopping 6 days in a row. i'm actually looking forward to going back to brissy tomorrow because it means NO MORE SHOPPING! my shopping stamina is far from impressive, so i've been dying a little bit.
for the first time in the history of my excessively long college career, i actually am missing college a bit. i rescheduled my flight so i could get back early... how bizarre is that?? i'm so used to being around friends from college that being away, even for a week, has been a little lonely! however, the people i'm missing most are also the people who will be leaving me in november, so i suppose i just need to get used to it.
let's see... sorry this isn't a very long post rika! i don't have too much to update. i'm SO EXCITED to go to sunshine coast next weekend! this week is going to be really crazy leading up to it, but the weekend should be epic. bbqs under the stars, falling asleep to the sound of the ocean, birthday cake and tequila at sunset, sunshine and beach time during the day! just have to make sure i can get us all there safely... ahhh!
alice and i are about to head out and get some chocolates from haigh's (i may have gained like 14 kilos this week) and then go to the grocery store to pick up stuff to make dinner tonight. we're having MEXICAN! mexican food doesn't really exist in australia, so i'm super excited to have tacos for the first time since getting here. i'm in charge of the guacamole :)
i'm gunna live the life sipping on tequila, night after night, dreaming of the moment where everything looks right. a little bit of love goes a long way tonight. would you like to meet me there? we'll be dancing on the sand. --wave
