Got my Open water Diver Certification last weekend! you are looking at a logged 4 hour open water diver! who dove a wreck in Australia! It was amazing! besides the fact that the bus system in Australia is so laid back, I mean they are so laid back they decided not to drive by Uni for 2 1/2 hours while a poor Nicole was out there cooking to a crisp in the 90 degree weather of 7:30 AM! I wasn't too keen. The weekend was amazing traveling to maggie island and diving for two whole days! I got to test out "darwin" my underwater camera case :)
I am having a stressful week with classes kicking in and the fact that here in paradise I actually do have to do work...how lame! Well, I guess it's ok when you are outside drinking coffee going over a lab report when there is a kookabura at the table right next to you... :) The other night we decided to have a mud fight and run and jump in the River, some of the most fun I have ever had, got wicked dirty! saw an Australian OWL!!!! in real life! It was an amazing night!
Went to Mcdonalds or 'Maccas' as they say, tonight and it was AMAZING, don't think I have ever been hit on in a mcdonalds before, just because I have an accent, but there is a first for everything I guess. it was so nice to have a little 'home' food, and it did taste very similar to the states, however there is no dollar menu.... lame!
Cheers! Heading to the market tomorrow morning for some local shopping and ice cream! :)
wow!! McDonalds, an owl, and certified in diving all in a couple of days!! hang in there with your classes, remember that really is why you are there!! It must be a shock to your system, you haven't been in classes since mid December...that was quite awhile ago. You will get in the groove quickly. Love you and miss you....keeep on swimming, studying, and smiling
