What have I been Up To – Part I
Exams were done and over with last Tuesday (yay!!) and since then we just basically went a bit overboard with everything. Trying to cram all sorts of activities in before the end of the week and before people start leaving Adelaide to go back home. Seriously, I haven’t had the chance to get a good long sleep since swot vac and I just had my proof a few minutes ago when I actually slept my whole evening and night away. It’s like 1.30 am right now and I had been sleeping since 5 in the evening. Gosh, gave myself quite a surprise there. I was just meaning to take a short nap before dinner and now I’ve slept through it. I’ll be heading of to bed again after this and then I’ll need to wake up in time for some hot brunch with friends. =)
Yup, so the title of this post says it all, what have I been up to these past few days (heaps!!!). Let’s see, we had a huge dinner at Hog’s Breath like that night itself right after exams. Omg, the food there is delicious!! I love the steak there and the curly fries. Their portions are huge so it was like post - exams binge for us and it was a good ‘reward’ for us. haha…
The day after (Wednesday), a bunch of us drove up to Victor Harbour (bout 2 hours) for a day at the beach. I don’t know why Victor Harbour (me thinks Amanda wanted to see penguins) but I’ve never been up there before so I was curious. The weather was cool and cloudy, not the perfect day for a beach trip but we were so desperate to get away from everything I guess it would take at least a blazing thunderstorm to deter us.
Petar driving and singing Backstreet Boys!!! Lol, we got hold of his iPod and he had the funniest songs in his top 25 playlist. =P All the chick songs and um, mitral stenosis. Hahaha…
Standing around deciding what to do once we got here… It was funny cos the minute we got out of our cars, we had random people coming up to us asking if we were Schoolies. (!!!) We must really look like a bunch of high school kids. T_T We even had the Channel & news reporter coming up to ask us questions. Some people were suggesting that we should just pretend we were high school kids from some random school and act real rowdy. Lol. Schoolies is this big end-of-exams weekend party that happens every year down at Victor Harbour. Basically high school kids come down here after their exams to party and get drunk. =P I think the only other state that has something like this in such a big scale is Queensland, down at Surfer’s Paradise, Gold Coast. =)
We finally shuffled along and took a group picture.
This is Romain who is finally acknowledging his French side (publicly). =)
After a lunch of fish and chips (the proper sea side meal =P) we again shuffled along to some playground nearby and started taking over the whole area, terrorising a few kids in the process (joking). Amanda freaked out when she saw the ghost train cos it made noises O_o. They have really nice playgrounds here. I wish KK had nice playgrounds instead of the rusty metal bars and swings only. =(
Joel thinking he is a bat (or batman???)
Of course when you have Aussies around, especially Aussies and Curries, you’re bound to have them playing cricket. I still have no idea how the game works, basically, I just run when they tell me too and try not to get caught out. =P
It rain a little later in the afternoon which discouraged us from jumping into the sea but overall it was fun. Exhausting really because most of us haven’t recovered from yesterday’s exams but the open sea and fresh breeze is so exhilarating after being cooped up so much for the past few weeks.
