Hey everyone! When I started writing this post it was less than a week since posting, but then I lost motivation for writing, sorry. On Saturday a bunch of my friends and I went back to the Gold Coast for a day trip. The weather was absolutely perfect. It was a gorgeous, warm day with hardly a cloud in the sky and almost no breeze. We left for the Gold Coast at around 8 in the morning and after taking some public transportation, we were settled on the beach by around 10. We were all pretty tired when we got there so I think that pretty much all of us ended up taking a nap. We layed out/slept for most of the morning and then it was lunchtime and some of us went to get some $10 fish and chips (fries are called chips in Australia). Considering it was an entire meal for $10, which mind you is even less in U.S. money, it was pretty good. I then spent most of the rest of the afternoon laying out. Towards the later afternoon my friend Zach and I were getting a little bored so we decided to bury our friend Adam. We started out doing it while he was sleeping, but then he woke up, but still agreed to be buried anyway. As we were burying him some little girls around 4 or 5 years old who were nearby came over to “help” us. I think they ended up pulling more sand off of him than they put on him but it was cute. Once we finished turning Adam into a mermaid the girls decided it would be fun to jump on him, which was pretty cute/funny to watch. As I’m writing this I’m realizing how creepy this sounds, but I swear it wasn’t, their parents were sitting a little ways in front of us. After the whole burying escapade, we spent a little bit more time on the beach, but the sun was starting to go down a little bit and the way the Gold Coast is set up, there are sky scrapers right along the beach so their shadows were starting to hit us. We ended up leaving the beach around 5 and walked around the downtown area a little bit. It’s a really nice area with a lot of great, classic surf shops such as Billabong and Hurley. We also went to a milkshake bar where you pick any kind of candy you want (there were about 50 different kinds) and they make a milkshake out of it. Needless to say it was incredible. After that we headed home and ended up getting back around 10. We were pretty wiped so we just hung out that night.
On Sunday I had to do work all day because I had a paper due on Monday for a professor that hates American students (yes she actually told us that word for word on the first day of class). Still haven’t gotten that paper back so we’ll see how that goes haha. I also had an exam on Wednesday so I needed to study for that. Sadly, unlike most study abroad students my grades transfer hence why I actually have to do work here. So like I said I spent Sunday doing work ugh, but at least I was able to do it outside at one of our campus’ outdoor cafes, which was nice. That’s all for this post but I’ll start working on catching up. Love you and miss you!!
