I am the worst procrastinator in the world, I think. I stayed up until 2am last night to finish a presentation for my Venomous Australian Animals class that I thought was supposed to be given today. I had a really hard time sleeping last night to top it all off. I crawled into bed when I finally finished, laid for over an hour trying to sleep, dozed off for about two hours then woke up at 5:30am, dozed off for another hour and a half and then woke up at 7am to go to lecture (for the third time all semester, mind you). Even though I was a bit disappointed to find that the presentations aren't even going on this week, the lecture was really cool. We had a toxicologist come and talk to us about first aid for spider/snake bites and jellyfish stings. What a cool job would that be? I'm actually considering looking into it as a possible career.
During practical today, we are supposed to be doing first aid practice but instead I decided to stay at the lodge and write my essay for Indigenous Studies (let's just hope I'll never need to utilize any snake bite first aid...!). It's not due until Monday but I know if I don't do it today I'll be hating myself for it later. It's such a gorgeous day outside and it sucks to be stuck indoors, though. I use my frequent cigarette breaks as a way to escape from my stale room and get some fresh air. I'm about a fifth of the way done with my essay and it's only 1:30pm so I should be able to finish by this evening. Hopefully.
On Saturday we're doing the "Ultimate Party Bus" thing for Margerithe's 21st birthday. It should be fun, I'm looking forward to it. The theme is "tight and bright" so I've got to go to Salvation Army at some point and find an appropriate outfit. I'm crossing my fingers to find some sort of awesome gold, sequined dress or something equally tacky.
I'm really looking forward to the two weeks that we have before exams start. Due to financial reasons, I didn't think that I'd be able to take any trips or do much of anything, but my mom was a doll and threw some more money on my card. So now Lauren, Cece, Jeanne, and I are taking a five day vacation down to Byron Bay and I am mega-excited. We found a sweet deal on plane tickets ($240 round trip to Brisbane) and we'll take a bus from Brisbane to Byron Bay. Andrew was a sweetheart, also, and is going to book us a room at a backpackers hostel and is getting us the first two nights for $30. Total cost for travel and accommodation is going to be about $410 AUD, which is less than $300 USD. Sweet deal. We're going to eat sandwiches and canned soup to save money. We're also looking into going hang gliding while we're there and the hostel rents out boogie boards for free. It is going to be awesome.
Okay, enough procrastinating with blogging and Facebook. Time to get back to work on my essay and listen to some Bob Dylan.
