This weekend was fun: Thursday I went to a wild west party at the uni, Friday I went to lunch at hard rock with the girls and then to the beach, Saturday I layed by the pool and then went to a housewarming barbque for a friend who just moved into a 1.5 million dollar house on the water- it was definitely the nicest house i've ever been to. Life is good.

here are pictures from my trip!

I've been back from the whitsundays for over a week now, but I am just now updating because i've been busy doing a huge project all week. The whitsundays trip was definitely the trip of a lifetime. Even the roadtrip was amazing. We stopped in a bunch of different little towns on the way and I felt like i really got a feel for rural australia. We also got to see some good scenery on the way- and sadly a lot of kangroo roadkill :( We stayed on the boat for 3 days and two nights. The first day I went scuba diving in the great barrier reef!! I'm sooo glad I did it, I was really really nervous about it and didn't know if I wanted to do it. Its something I never thought I would do, but it's really the best way to see the reef. We were swimming through the coral and all the fishes, it was so cool. The rest of that day we snorkeled at an island and we went snorkeling at a few other islands the next day. The water there is so clear, when you look down you can see straight to the bottom. The second day we arrived at whitehaven beach which is rated one of the top 3 beaches in the world. Its amazing there, the sand is 97 percent silicon and the water is so blue and clear. Its probably the prettiest place i've ever been to. We had a little party on the beach that day and we went out in the water and tried to make pyramids. Then we got the idea to stack 4 people on top of each others' shoulders. After a bunch of tries we finally succeeded. We also played rounders on the beach, which is a British version of baseball. The third day we went to whitehaven again and then sailed back to the shore. It was definitely interesting to live with almost 30 people on a sailboat for 3 days- i couldn't even shower! But it was amazing and almost everyone on the boat was from our group and it was such a fun group of people, im so glad I went! I also had a great night last night. I went to my friend Brandon's apartment in surfers with a bunch of people from spring break for Candadian thanksgiving. We had a ton of good food and his apartment is soo nice it was like being at a resort. Then we got on a huge boat and cruised around the broadwater. The cruise was a black and white party put on by the school so a ton of my friends were there. It was a really fun night. This week I have a ton of homework still. And only a month and a half until I come home!

I have a ton of pictures I need to put up from my trip, so hopefully they will be up shortly!
