crystal creek and st. patt's

goodness i love weekends :P

thursday was julie's floor party, which was super-hero themed :) i crashed wearing my australian flag as a cape and julie was GI Jane, and it was just generally awesome. as per usual we ended up in mike's flat playing drinking games with the nast goon punch (goon = box wine) and we watched robyn slowly destroy her liver with several shots of vodka.

Friday was supposed to be a night we went out with uni hall and took over the brewery, but we didn't end up going and once again it was down to mike's flat. we watched boondock saints and firefly and i discovered that i just lose at king's cup. luckily, mike and julie forced me to drink a lot of H2O and i was fine in the morning for my trip.

and that trip was one to crystal creek, about 40min north of townsville. it was a trip with the student association, and i had thought amy was coming but it turned out i didn't know anyone there. it didn't really matter, and i didn't really meet any cool people - didn't even get names. they called me tina fey for the whole trip :P and i read my book by the waterfalls after i dried off. we hiked a short ways to a few cool viewing stations in the tropical forest. and on the way home we stopped at the frosty mango for some delectable icecreams :D overall not bad, and i think i'll insist on going again with cooler people so we can jump off the cliffs into the waterfalls :) it is free!
yesterday was also st patty's day... and its a big deal here! the dive club had their pub crawl, but because of my trip i didn't sign up and i chilled with kate and julie for a bit. tea (= dinner) was atrocious so we decided to make a trip to hungry jacks (= burger king) and this guy brice tagged along for the (sort of) decent food. we somehow got on the topic of fighting and i don't know if i've mentioned it before but julie studies jujitsu, has for 3 years. she's maybe 5'6" and 130lbs at most. brice is a good sized fellow, about 6'2" and built like a rugby player. he said julie wouldn't be able to beat him and kate and i just started cracking up because he just didn't understand... and so julie got to demonstrate on him! she showed us all these awesome moves and blocks and what to do if someone has a knife and we sat near the kiddie area at hungry jack's for a good hour and a half, after which brice admitted he would probably loose a fight against julie. mwahahahaha

we got back and it was raining, so i decided not to get dressed up to go out and just went out wearing my all-green attire :) and since it was raining, julie decided to drive us. we met up with the dive club people around 11pm and started the night. damn i feel like a steriotypical uni student!! i think we should have stayed at that first bar longer but we ended up hitting a few more sucky places before we got into the CRI, which was pretty chill. we stayed out untill about 4, and everyone owes julie a LOT of drinks, because she made 2 trips as DD to make sure we all got home.

anyway, all in all we had a fabulous night. i woke up at like noon today and its now time to finnish my lab report i have due wednesday. ta!
