Beer Pong, Noosa, and the Move Out

Saturday march 28th

Woke up and tried to organize a plan. Jason was on his way at some point. We werent sure what we were going to do. When he arrived, Amanda, Rachel, him and I looked at a map and found that there was a hidden little destination not 5 minutes away! It was a giant maze! Yes way cool! We entered the maze with a little scavenger hunt. We made teams. Rachel and Amanda, vs Jason and I. We had to locate all the dwarfs and Snow White. It was really fun and tricky. We dound out that it had a trick in the question. We finished a good 15 min before the other two. While we were waiting for them, we walked over to the bird sanctuary. It wasnt much. Im not into birds all that much as it is. We came back and met up with the others. When we asked if they had foun all of the items, they looked at eachother. They didnt figure it out, they kind of gave up. Jason and I had figured out the trick and knew that one item wasnt in there at all. We even solved the word at the end. It was pretty fun.

After the Maze, we decided to go see a water fall. Mapleton Falls. Cute little town of Mapleton. Jason bought some exotic flowers from here and we picked up a snack. They had some cute little trinkets that I wouldnt mind going back to see. When we got to the falls, it was just a look out point to see the falls below. It was really nice, but we were un able to hike down to the falls. Im not even sure if it was possible to do on the great walk that was suppose to take about 3-4 hours. Rachel and Amanda had to be back to finish an assignment, so we did the Wompoo trail that was only about 45minutes. It was a jungle! There are some of the neatest trees I have ever seen. They start off as independant trees and all grow into one big bony piece of art! Sometimes they can even be hollow in the centre. There are vines hanging and yes we did the Tarzan and swung from vine to vine!! Ok, we didnt, but we certainly did try! Not as easy as Tarzan makes it look!!

We continued our walk and made it back to the car. When we got home, it was already about 5pm. Jason and I had a game of tennis and then we all got ready for the night activities. We beautified and left for Mooloolaba for dinner. I think this was the first time we have actually spent out for dinner. Rachel had to work and therefore could not make it. Amanda and I shared a gourmet pizza and some calamari while Jason bought wine for all of us girls! YUM!! Lucky us for having him, and lucky him for being the only guy with all of us!! hahaha

We headed to a pub and had some drinks and dancing. More of our friends, including Raging Roger who is now back and has apologized to mostly everyone, had arrived. Shortly after, we all went to Emma Mays house. She had a whole load of ppl over. We taught these Aussies how to play beer pong on the ping pong table. Also kicked there behinds with flippy cup. Lots of the ppl here at the party were actually kiwi's. It was a very good group of ppl. Amanda and I had some fun with photos on Emma May's bright red porno sheets on her bed. I still havent seen the pictures of this!! Everyone else hopped in the hot tub. Jason and I didnt feel like it so we sat just outside of it.

When we got home, the party continued outside by Erin, Bell, and Bellas place. yes I am aware they are named Bell and Bella! haha I soon after retired for the night. It was late.

Sunday March 29th

When i awoke, Jason had already been for a swim. I readied myself and we went for a bite to eat. We didnt want to fight the traffic in Mooloolaba, there was a triathalon and it was incredibly busy! There must have been thousands of bikes sitting out last night! We decided to drive and see where it takes us. It took us as far as Noosa. Noosa is suppose to be a tourist destination and now I know why. The shops there are so nice, similar to whyte ave, but newer. It has a more modern feel to it, where as Whyte Av wears an older, retro-ish look and feel. There are also soo many really neat places to eat. How to choose!

We walked down the beach part way and entered the town. We found a place to eat and placed our orders. I love how there is no tipping required here in Australia, however, I am sure there would be better service were it the norm to tip good service. I ordered a wrap with carrots, onions, avacodo, chicken and lamb taboli from the middle east. It was sooo delicious! Jason had a club sandwhich and fries.

We walked down the beach after breakfast-lunnch-dinner. It is a really long beach and both of us are interested in surfing. This was an obvious place for the surfer. The sore was littered with them. Some individuals were as good to go for 5 minutes or more. It was an ideal place. There was even a wedding comencing on the beach. We found a spot and sat for a long while watching the surfers. The sun and the ocean were just amazing. The surfers were making it look too easy!

After the sun was down, and storm clouds threatened, we decided to head home. He did have to drive back to Brissy after all! On the way home, I found the sothern cross in the sky. he southern cross is the 5 star formation found on the Australian flag. It gets dark very early here. About 6pm right now is pretty dark. When I got back, I watched a movie and went to bed. I was beat.

Monday March 30th

Woke up 0730, nice and early ready for Uni by 0845. I like to wake up really early to puts around. I sometimes get phone calls this early as well, so I like to give myself time to get ready. If not, I clean up or look at school work. When I was about to leave this morning for my lecture, I rememebered that it was cancelled. I stayed home and cleaned the house and did come laundry.

Shonleigh awoke and had promised Ebony a ride to the train station. I went along for the ride. We we got back, Jess, Amanda, Shon and I went for a run/walk. We speed walk and still work up a sweat. We did this to the photo store where I had printed up some 300 photos. Yikes! I still have more I want printed!! teehee! Then we power walked back. When we were just by our units, we decided to run the rest. This gave us a couple of advantages. 1- its excersize, 2- it makes us look like we ran the whole way with out pouring sweat! hahaha We are sneaky!

I finished some laundry and made some lunch for Jess, Shon and I. Brock was over visiting as well. After lunch I made my way to my room and did some school related activites. After a while, Yates drove me to pick up my photos. We went through them all. They had cut off some of them. :( makes me angry! I then caught up with a phone call from Canada. It was Justin. He is on his way and will be here in just three sleeps! Just in time for my two week Easter Holidays!

After this, I found out that our room mate mat had come to the conclusion that he wants to move out. He has spoken to the office and he will be moving into Rachel and Beca's place. Shonleigh and I both like lively house holds. Our friends walk in and out all day long. Mat also has friends over quite often. I thought we had an understanding of eachother. We have not been drinking and partying here like we did at first. In fact, we have been doing it where ever else we could. Mat is just a very religious boy who doesnt like swearing or drinking at all. He gets along with everyone, but I guess it was just too noisy for him. I was a little saddened by this news. For one thing, he had Shonleigh tell me. Im not sure why he couldnt tell me himself. I thought him and I were pretty open with eachother. Apparently not. It made me feel singled out that he was able to tell Shon and not me. If anything, Rachel parties a little bit more than I. Its just a quieter unit over there as our friend congregate here. It will all turn out for the best. We are trying to get Tess to move into here now. Us three blondes will have a good time!

I went to class. It was a good one. I enjoy this class. Nursing health alterations. I sit with Amy who has become my first friend from school. I have different subjects then the other girls and so I was the lone foriegn girl for a bit. lol

Came home and made a delicious Salad. I had a quick talk with Scotto about the problems we have been having. Scotto is a good person. Just a bit of a scatter brain! Scatter brain Scotto! Makes life difficult. It has been wearing on a few of us. Things are ok now, but not perfect.

Amanda and I went for a jog. Rachel went out for some coffee with a friend and Joel. I did some stretching and sit ups and then did some studying! Nice and productive day!
