Yesterday I went to the beach for what seemed like the first time in forever. Cece and I rode bikes down to Trinity Park and camped out there for a few hours. I tanned topless for the first time in my life and I'm regretting that I didn't slather on some sunscreen because BOY are my boobs sunburned. Besides that, it was really nice to get some sun again. I sat out with my book (Down Under by Bill Bryson), a chilled bottled of white wine, and my iPod and spent four hours unwinding. It was very nice, needless to say.
I didn't go running yesterday because I was exhausted from the sun and wine. I fell asleep pretty much as soon as I got home. I woke up in time for dinner and ate, then went and bought some mighty fine boxed wine. We spent the rest of the evening drinking, playing pictionary, chatting, playing guitar, and adventuring to campus to climb on roofs. We laid on the roof and looked at the moon and stars and ate cheese and bacon balls and talked, every now and then having to hide from janitors and security guards. I also almost set the roof on fire by dropping my zippo, after which we decided to entitle the Facebook photo album "The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire". We're clever.
We came back to the lodge and I caught a gecko, we played more guitar, I badly bruised my leg during an attempted cartwheel, and then, realizing it was already 5am, I decided to go to sleep. Not suprisingly, I slept through lecture this morning. I woke up around 11am, quickly (and half-assedly) finished my powerpoint presentation and e-mailed that and my essay (which was due last week...) to Jamie. Then I fell back asleep and woke up around 2:30pm to find that I had slept through lab. Shame on me.
The upside of all this is that today is Friday and it is the weekend. I'm feeling good about things. I'm still in shock that classes end in three weeks and I'll be leaving Cairns in six. I'm excited about having a few weeks in Sydney to relax and reflect on where life is going to take me.
