i don't snap on like you want me to because it still hurts my eyes when they turn red.

Phwew. I am exhausted. I drank my weekend away. Friday I went out with Sherie and Michelle and it was a really good time. I danced until I was sweating my ass off and drank free cocktails at Mad Cow. Saturday I planned on going out but ended up staying in, smoking with the boys, and drinking red wine. At around 1am I got a phone call from my mom saying that she had talked ot Qantas and if I wanted to change my flight I needed to do it right then. So I drunkenly called Qantas, and after an hour of brief conversations and lots of hold music, I changed my flight successfully. I now leave Cairns on November 22nd and leave Sydney to come back to the states on December 11th. The change cost me almost $700, which is absolutely ridiculous, but I'm hoping that it will all be worth it in the end.

Sunday everyone got back from the field trip and was ready to go out, so for the fourth night in a row I downed the booze and went out dancing. We went to Mad Cow and the Pier. It was a good night. I didn't fall asleep until 5am, though, and had to get up at 8am for class. It was awful, needless to say. I went to class for half an hour and then decided I desperately needed to come back and sleep. I napped until dinnertime and then spent most of the rest of the evening working on our group photography project that is due tomorrow. It's very tedious and still not finished. We're all going to work on it tomorrow before class. We are very bad procrastinators.

I can't believe how quickly I'm running out of time here. It makes me sad to think about whether or not I'm going to see everyone again. This has been the most incredible experience ever. I'm going to enjoy my few weeks here. I plan on getting as tan as possible, continuing my running, going out occassionally (but not too much for money's sake), and just chilling. I've got quite a few assignments due coming up, too, so I should probably get those done...
