all our favorites were playin' so we could shake, shake, shake, shake, shake.

The beach yesterday was gorgeous. I had such a good time. We bought some Toohey's Extra Dry beer and I got slightly tipsy while taking it all in. I had Jason Mraz playing in my ears and some good people around me and I had to close my eyes and just breathe.

The bus ride back was nice, as well, although it was longer than anticipated and I really had to pee. We passed a couple of fields full of wallabies, which was cool. Also, instead of deer crossing warning signs, here there are kangaroo signs. That was comical to me.

We came back and chilled out and I drank some wine and then went to bed before 10pm. I've been getting up really early since I've been here and it's been nice for a change. Also, my knee is really fucked up. I don't know what I did, but the past couple of days it has been terribly painful when I walk, and almost unbearable when I go up or down the stairs. I've been pitifully hobbling around. I'm going to rest it and ice it for a few days, and if it hasn't improved I'll have to go to the doctor.

All the orientation stuff was today, so I was at school from 9am until around noon. My schedule isn't too bad. Monday I have class from 10am until 2pm, and then I have a lab for my marine science class. Tuesdays I just have my photography class from 1pm until 4pm. Wednesdays and Thursdays I have off, and Fridays I have my Venemous Animals in Australia class. Two of my classes are video lectures, also, which is weird...

Right now I'm relaxing for an hour or so before I have to head back to campus to go to my last few things. They're throwing a barbecue and serving kangaroo, which I am excited about trying. I've still yet to try Vegemite, though...
