yarrr!

OMG i saw pirates 3 before ANY of you and OMGOMG :PPPPPP <3 fly the colours!!

allright so a recap of the past few weeks of MADNESS now that i've gloated :P LAST weekend started with my first ever game of pong on thursday... lol awesome. i love rum. friday we went out to tea at the hog's breath (which i want to call the hog's head, oh harry potter) for delicious steak. and a dense chocolate cake that was bigger than my steak. mmmmm.

saturday the 5 ninja turtles got up quite early to get out to magnetic island for the day :) mike and dan and i dove in alma bay, which was lovely. i've come to the conclusion, however, that i have problems with shallow shore dives because we go up and down so much and a bit quickly. the sinus behind your eye isn't really supposed to pop but i get the nastiest squeeze if i move just wrong, and it really freaking hurts. again, nothing normal can be wrong with me. due to that and dan's BC being held together by a paperclip we had 3 short dives, the last one with kate and julie joining us on the surface with snorkels :) would have been a lot more fun if julie wasn't so sensetive to jelly stings and i didn't have my head explode, but it was still awesome and i'll have some pictures later. we got out and magically ran into will and emily who were hiking around the island, looking at the koalas - they saw a drop bear! and we decided to meet them for tea at noodies, the mexican place at horseshoe bay. tea was tastey but the margaritas were a bit weak. although mike did order a long island ice tea and they managed to mix it almost properly :) (which inspired him to buy ingreedients for it and he now has basically a stocked bar in his fridge) but we didn't get home too late. we were lucky we had gotten julie to go, she was freaking about an exam on monday.

sunday and monday were days of work on the oceanography paper for mike and i. funny how i feel i know NOTHING about that class. whatever. dan and julie and kate were kind enough to make us wonderful chicken parm sunday night, with leftovers for monday.

yesterday was interesting because out of the blue julie came and was like ok, the origin match is on tonight we need to watch with beer and chips. and so we did! the origin is queensland vs new south whales rugby league, the biggest games of the year. go queensland! the maroons (thats us) won and julie was hillarious yelling at the screen. dan was a bit of a poop but i think he's been in a mood about being homesick for a while. he snapped out of it today though, and OMG pirates! awesome.

anyhoo i have an exam in the morning, dive ball tomorrow night, big paper due monday and paper of the same size due wednesday and then i leave thursday for MELBOURNE AND SYDNEY!!!! so i'll be trying to post but i may be insanly busy. pictures to come, i love you all!
