Hey everyone, How you going?? (Aussie greeting)
Well I have been pretty busy these last few days....here is a recap of what I have been up to!
The toga party at the Uni Bar was Thursday and it was a lot of fun. A bunch of us got all dressed up and went out and had a blast dancing and looking at everyone's awesome togas they put together.
On friday, we took a bus to Surfer's Paradise which is on the Gold Coast, about an hour and half or two hours from here. The bus ride took about three hours with all the stops they made but it was definitely worth it!!
When we got there we all looked around and went to all the different shops and then hit the beach. It's a really beautiful city with a lot of interesting stuff to see and people to watch. It reminded all of us of Vegas in a way, except way smaller. Definitely an awesome place to go.
We met three really cool girls that stayed in our Hostel with us. Two of them were from England and one was from Ireland. We ended up talking to them most of the night and exchanged emails so hopefully we will keep in touch!!
Saturday we took a bus from Surfer's to Kirra Beach where they had a Quicksilver surfing competition. The water and the scenery from Kirra Beach was amazing! They ocean was so many different shades of the blue and the surfers were awesome! Kelly Slater was there ( an american pro surfer) so it was fun to watch him and all the other guys tear up the waves. Afterwards we took a bus back to Surfer's ate at the Hard Rock Cafe' and then took a bus back to Lismore.
Overall, definitely a great weekend!! Going back to class this week is going to be very difficult. It was very hot today, around 85 or something like that, very humid as well. I'm sure you're all wanting to exchange that for all the snow though :)
Today (Sunday) my friend Jackie and I went on a lunch which was set up by the school. We got picked up by two younger Australian's and they took us to their house right by campus and they cooked for us and we hung out for a while. They were both really nice but then they started talking about religion and asked Jackie and I if we knew whether or not we were going to heaven and what have we done for the Lord and all this awkward stuff. Needless to say we were happy it only lasted a few hours, we were ready to get the hell out of there and go to everyone our crazy story! It was definitely an experience unlike any other, I can't help but just laugh about it!!
Well, I will keep you all updated on what else is new! Hope you enjoy some of the pictures from toga night and surfer's!! Miss you all!!
