let go, jump in, well whatcha waiting for?

Today we went to Crystal Cascades. It's a river with a couple of waterfalls. It was so amazingly gorgeous.

We swam and tanned and hung out for a few hours. The water was freezing cold but it was a nice escape from the heat. We also saw this really cool monitor lizard thing:

My first week of class went well. For my Venomous Australian Animals lab, the professor was letting us know how serious the venoms we'll be working with our. They could potentially kill every single person in the room. It's a bit frightening knowing that we'll be working with the most lethal venoms in the world up close - so many things could potentially go wrong. It's quite exciting, though.

Other than that, I've just been partying and sight seeing and meeting people and enjoying myself. I'm potentially thinking of staying for New Years and going to Sydney for it. We'll see what happens..
