Long time no blog, except its not entirely my fault.I tried a couple days ago and blogger froze up.
Anywho--much has happened!
I posted pics from my day at Mt. Coolum. It was a beautiful beautiful day! We left really early to catch the bus ( it takes about an hour to get there by bus). The climb was really rocky and steep, but it only took about 20 minutes haha. So we took our time with pictures and things because the view was so pretty! You could see the whole Sunny Coast and beyond. A few people I met at church said there's another mountain that's a good hike. I think we'll do that over our week long "study break" before finals.
We also hit up the beach after our hike (what else?)--the whole beach was ours, totally deserted except for a few walkers. It's definitely approaching winter here--I can lay out all day with no sunscreen and not get burnt. To make the day even better, we headed farther north to Noosa Heads beach for some gelato and shopping! We even caught the sunset---its my favorite beach by far I think. (they're all my favorite really)
There was a small amount of suffering to this day though. Tip for life: don't ever--EVER--buy $1-- 7 Eleven coffee. I sometimes feel a bit car sick on the buses here--but after that nasty coffee I felt horrible. I was told I went pale for awhile. Luckily, when we got to the Plaza--KFC was open and very welcomed by our bus sick bellies. SO we got some popcorn chicken snack boxes and listened to the live music at the nearby coffee shop. We almost missed the last bus of the night because we were talking so much--thankfully we didn't. Pirates of the Carribean 2 was even on the telly when I got back---great day! (minus the 7 tums I took and stomach ache I had until 11am the next morning----worth it)
Now I've just been chillin and trying to get assignments done. The forecast actually says sunny for the next five days in a row! Hopefully I didn't just jinx it. So I guess that tells you what I'll be up to for the week--cant lose my ginger-tan b/f July!
Taco night tomorrow with a few friends--should be fun =D Missed lifegroup again tonite--i miss my car. oh well--I still had fun, and I finished a politcs paper. Major bonus.
Oh and best news of all: no more Tuesday classes for me! Wahoooodaloo! Heaps of free time comin my way...I officially love it here. I've been here for long enough that palm trees are still awesome--but becoming just normal scenery! And I don't ever check under my bed for snakes and geckos anymore--pat on the back.
I miss Grand Valley.
Okay Bye.
