Out of this world

After a single hour of class I went to Coogee beach last week with Lieke and Lisianne. I truly felt like I was on holiday while I was swimming in the clear blue sea and enjoying the sun on an almost deserted beach (it was a Thursday after all).

That evening we went to the Noodle markets in Hyde Park where an enormous crowd was enjoying food from different stands in the open air. While enjoying our Thai we watched the Chinese dragon dance and the lights in the trees sway. Afterwards we went for a stroll through the city.

On Friday I had to put in some effort towards finishing my last load of assignments (and mostly sat outside in the garden enjoying the sun). On Saturday I went to Tamarama beach with Lies and Frances. We took the inflatable crocodile they bought on springbreak for a swim.


In the afternoon it seemed as if doom rolled through the skies and we hid from the tropical storm in a café. Joost had to move his birthday inside and after some BBQing I went back to get changed for a Space Odyssey party at a friends house. Australians are definitely keen on dress up parties and the costumes were absolutely spaced out (and the girl on the left of me gives you a proper idea of Aussie girl's dress sense).
The next day was the defintion of a lazy Sunday, as I slept through my alarm and skipped my morning all together. In the evening we had a delicious vegetarion dinner with the house. Monday I had two group meetings. One of my teammates asked me if I had gotten a fake tan so I guess I have gotten a decent colour (although why she thought it was fake I don't know, I still associate a fake tan with oompaloompa's).



Yesterday I spend most day outside, but to my regret I could not join Lies and Lieke to the beach as I had to give a presentation later in the afternoon. That all went great and today I fininished the last group assignment after another day of class. Tomorrow I have my final hour of class. After that it is time to put together some creative Halloween outfits! Positively scary and legendary berry. Don't worry, picture evidence will follow soon.
