So this week was fun. It’s now September, which means it’s spring here. And apparently, when it hits spring it all of a sudden gets really hot. So it’s been really pretty hot here and very humid, needless to say, my hair has not been very happy. And it gets really hot at night in the rooms. You can sleep with the windows open until like 5 o’clock in the morning and then the birds start making their noises so you have to close with windows and then it heats up like no-ones business. So that’s been fun. Good thing I’m not here for the dead of summer.

On Friday we went to the beach for a few hours and then me, meaghan, kate, and simon went to a rugby game. It was the Gold Coast Titans vs. Wests Tigers. The Titans were ranked #4 and the Tigers #2. It was a very good game. The Titans won by like 4 points to secure a home game for the semi-finals. The best part of the game were the hotties sitting in front of us. They were nice to look at. At half time they had little kids come out and play rugby and this little kid, probably no older than 9 completely decked this other little kid. It was nuts. They have no fear.

Saturday was a lazy day. Got some work done. I have to do this presentation in my creative writing class on controversial writers. So I’ve been gathering information for that because I will be gone the weekend before it’s due. I’ve also been writing a short story for that class.

Sunday we went to this vintage market in Burleigh. I found this nice little bag. It was a find. It rained, which was gross. There was this one stand place that had the best 80’s jumpers (sweatshirts). One looked like it was straight out of Saved by the Bell. We came back and had ourselves a nice sleep. It was fabulous. We bought tickets to go see this band from Melbourne, British India on sept. 16th. Exciting.

We’ve got the Melbourne trip coming up. We leave on Wednesday and get in at night. We plan on going to this jail where they kept all the convicts to be executed. This big serial killer, Ned Kelly was executed there and they have his execution mask, should be pretty cool. We also plan to go to the aquarium, see some australian fishes. I’m meeting up with my cousin Friday afternoon, he said he would show us the non-touristy melbourne, should be fun. It’ll be nice to get off the Gold Coast. It’s nice here, but it’s a little tacky. Lots of high rises of various colors, many of them a pink color. Lots of boguns, australian creeps, essentially.

Sunday was fathers day here. Good on me, I texted dear old daddy. Lucky him getting two father’s days this year. Other than that, not much is going on here. Just gearing up for a hectic September.
