My Trip

I arrived back from Queensland on the 16th, and have been working flat out since then, but better a late entry than none at all.

I stayed at my sister's and her fiancee's house for the first half of my trip. I was fortunate enough to drive Chris' car around. It was spanking brand new and had an engine that allowed it to go from 0 to 100 in no time. Although, I'm told that it was pathetic in comparison to his other car which went from 0 to 180 in no time.

Amanda and I drove to "
The Spit" on the second day I was in QLD and laid down on the beach under the blazing sun. After laying there for 10 minutes, Amanda got bored and we trotted into the water. It was so much fun jumping up as the wave came and it would lift us up even higher. I admit, I squealed like a little school girl (with glee). And Amanda even let me have "one" go on the boogie board. She was so generous.

Whilst I stayed at Manda's house we also drove around to some of her mate's place and hung out with them. When Manda had to go to TAFE I dropped her off and took the car to "The Hyperdome". I kept walking up and down the mall but I couldn't find anything I wanted to buy.

The other half of my trip was spent at my dad's house. He is staying with his mate Patrick at the moment so I stayed there too. It was awesome. The house is huge and Patrick own's a horse breeding property so there is hills all around and it was so green and lush.





However, as you can tell from the photos, it wasn't sunny whether for my whole trip. Even so, I managed to go outside when the rain stopped and the sun came out to work on my tan. I did manage to get a tan too. I furthered my tan when Dad took Amanda, Chris and me to Tweed Heads where we all enjoyed frollicking in the waves.



I got to play with the horses whilst I was at Patrick's.



This was my favourite pony.



After I got back from QLD I went to my home town and helped my friend Jodie celebrate her 21st birthday. She had a little too much to drink and was unfortunately unable to go out clubbing afterwards. But I ended up going out with my friends Catherine, Cherise and Brenton and we still managed to have a good time. Poor Jodie.

University starts back on Monday, and I'm looking forward to it. I'll be so busy when it does start back because I'll have three law subjects and one finance subject this semester, and that means a LOT of reading. Uni coupled with work is going to make for one hectic semester.
