How's everyone going?? Been a really really really busy semester for me this year. Been going on heaps of camping trips, still the sports rep in college and tonnes of assignments too... phew...
Just finished with exams a couple of days ago. The exam period went on for almost 4 weeks... 4 long and stressful weeks....oh well, it's all over now.. Yippee!! Going on a 11 day camping trip to Central Australia with the university this Wednesday. Gonna see Uluru..that massive rock in the middle of the Australian dessert...wil be going with about 16 friends...and there's 90 ppl on the trip.. so should be pretty awesome.
After the trip, wil be going to stay over at a friend's place for a week. Gonna go skiing then... hehe...can't wait for that one...haven't skied before...so wil probably fall heaps.. hehe... After that, will stay with my aunt for a week....and she was planning to take me to the seaside to see the whales over the weekend. A really really packed holiday up front for me. =D
Okies..so now here's my semester in a nutshell... Started of the semester being an Orientattion Leader. Those 2 weeks preparing and bringing the fresher's around was really tiring was it was a good experience and heaps of fun too. June's bro's a fresher in my college... we played tennis for college at the start of the year... but haven't touched my racquet since then...whoops. Moved into a new room this year as well. It's a new apartment...4 of us in an apartment...we each have our own rooms, and we have a living area with a tv and a fully equiped kitchen as well. So it's a really good deal being a 2nd year student. My housemates are really close friends so that's good.
One of them was really messy and dirty though.. good thing he's left for the UK to do his 1 yr of Medical research...phew...oh well...that's why they day..never judge a person by their cover.. =pThis time I made sure I chose a good housemate to replace him though...and it's much better now.. hehe...that's the experience of living out with friends..
I'm still runnnig as the sports rep this year as well...played heaps of sports this sem too.. squash, softball, tennis, rowing (those 5am starts again.. =p) and a couple more...I can't re
member now. Did heaps of outdoor trips this semester as well. More rock-climbing and kayaking this year. Went 'multi-pitching'..it's where you climb this really high rock wall...about 70-100m...a leader will lead first..and once he reaches a safe spot..he ties in ...and you start climbing. Was really freaked out the first time though...cos it feels like there's no rope pulling you... but it's not too bad really. Just takes some getting use to. Climbed real rocks...so there was the wind factor and not forgetting the sun- burns as well...=p. Been doing a lot of kayaking as well. Not many trips yet cos there hasn't been much rain here down under...hopefully the rivers will be highere nex 
sem. I can do the eskimo roll already...it's like 
when you flip upside down in d kayak and flip back over again.. =)Over Easter, I went to Mornington Peninsula..it's this place in Victoria near Philip Island. Yep.. finally went to Philip Island.. hehe...the penguins were so cute... Went strawberry picking and wine tasting there to. My friend drove and I navigated the way. We also went swimming with the dolphins and horseback riding too!! The water was freezing...honestly...I would rather pay the mon
ey to swim with dolphins in Sea World! It's a cool experience but the dolphins are wild so they dun really come near you. But it was still good fun though.Been shopping a lot this sem too. Hehe..the sales are really tempting here.. And then, Nana came to Melb as well. Took her to see my college play the Volleyball finals..and then we went to have Hot Chocolate. Was good yeah Nana? Hehe...come over to Melb and I'll bring you guys there. Hmm...wat else....oh ya...Commonwealth was on here. Didn't go watch any games cos was busy with outdoor trips over the weekends and had loads of assignments then as well. oh ya... my college had the usual performance nights as well... performed in a couple of acts this year. Played Hotel California on guitar and danced Saturday Night Feva.
World Cup Season is here now. Just went with a couple of friends to watch the Aus-Italy match out on the streets. It's freezing cold out there. At half time we ended up going to my friend's place to continue watching the match. Ended with a dodgy penalty...the Socceroos are out now.. oh well..I'm on Brazil neways...hehe...
Well I guess that's it for now...it's already 4.30 am here...i really should be going to bed soon. Ok, have a good break Caroline and June and the rest in IMU...is it hols yet?/ Neways hope to hear from you guys soon. Take care! Hugz...
