you used to be one of the rotten ones and i liked you for that.

Time is flying by, as usual. Another week gone. Friday night we drank tequila, played Pictionary, then went to the city for a bit. I came back earlier, I just wasn't feeling it for some reason.

I was so hungover all day on Saturday, it was god awful. That afternoon, Cece, Jeanne, and I went to AJ Hackett, the bungee jump place down the road. We all did this Minjin Jungle Swing thing. Basically you get strapped in then you get pulled backwards. When you get to the top, you pull the ripcord and go soaring down through the rainforest. For those of you that still don't know what I'm talking about (and are from San Antonio), it's like the Screaming Sky Coaster they used to have at Six Flags, except this one is in the middle of the rainforest. It was so much fun, I screamed my face off. Cece was laughing at me so much because of my screams and I was shaking. It was really scary, but when it was over we had so much fun that we decided to do it one more time.

After that, I think I had my adrenaline rush for the day, but Cece and Jeanne did a tandem bungee jump. It was awesome to watch. I'm going to do it next time, even if I'm horrified and pee my pants. You only live once, right?

Afterwards, we walked back to the lodge and had dinner. Then I took a little nap because I hadn't had a good night's sleep all week. I woke up around 8:30pm, smoked a little bit, then watched Back to the Future 2 and went to sleep. It was a perfect, quiet Saturday night.

I have so much homework to do today and the rest of this week, it's ridiculous. I have a presentation for my Indigenous Cultures class that I have to do for tomorrow. I also have an annotated bibliography due for that class the Monday after break, along with an essay for my Venomous Australian Animals class. Since I'm not going to be back in town until Tuesday, and I don't plan on doing any work while I'm away for break, I have to get it done before I leave, which is Thursday. I'm so excited about going to Melbourne and Sydney with the girls. It's going to be a blast. We're going to try to see some live music in Melbourne and putz around. I wanna do surf lessons, as well. And we're planning on going rock climbing in Sydney. Tonight I think we're going to figure out what hostels we're staying at and try to much some sort of tentative itinerary for the ten days we're going to be gone. Agghh, I'm stoked.

I've been really digging the song "Anthems for a Seventeen Year Old Girl" by Broken Social Scene lately.
Okay, I've really got to do my work now and the adderall is kicking in big time. Ciao!
