My Life On on the Fast Track

HEY I know you havent heard from me in a long while but, things are tough over here down under! So since you've heard from me last, I was sick with a swine-flu-esque illness. it knocked me out for over a week! but anyways, since then I went to Sydney for the weekend to see Jeremy's cousin off as he went home to France. I stayed in a hostel in Bondi (my first hostel experience!) that was SUPER close to the beach, honestly like a two minute walk. So that weekend I didnt really see much BUT bondi because I arrived at about 8pm on saturday night and I left at about 4pm the next day. so really, I wasnt even there for 24 hours haha. then I went home, and was swamped with all the schoolwork I missed when I was sick (I still have some, its brutal.) Then the school break started on the 5th of sept. but for the first week of the break I was tied up with my science class. i did way too much science and I REALLY dont want to spend any time talking about it, so lets just say that its over and Im glad. Now, this friday I travelled to SYD fora second time, this time I stayed on my own in a hostel. It was the creepiest experience Ive had for a while... then the next morning I left for the airport and met my MOMMY and AUNTIE who came all the way from Canada to see me (and australia) We spent the day walking around looking at the markets and the different sights of sydney harbour. I write to you now from my hotel in SYD whilst my mom and aunt sleep. seeing as its 930 at night, I am not sleeping, but also, seeing as its 2 dollars for 15 minutes of internet time, i think i'll be sleeping soon enough. (I only have 9 minutes left ... from 30 lol) i ate steak for dinner tonight for the first time in a LONG while. It was heaven. Sydney has been super warm this weekend (30 degrees C) but tomorrow i leave for a much warmer place, Cairns. I am super pumped. we plan on doing the barrier reef, and the zoo and I plan on relaxing on the beach and getting my tan on (because i look like CASPER, and if i dont get a tan soon i wont be so 'friendly' anymore...) anyways! i shall update you all about cairns when i am back! BY the way, I dont know if you all have me on facebook, but if you do, my camera got sand in it at surfcamp and is broken, SOOO i've been using Jer's and i need to figure out how to upload the pics, so more pics WILL be coming soon enough, patience is a virtue. So i only have 5 minutes of lousy internet left. and i had better save and post this now because the internet is slower than mollasses running uphill in january. (thats slow) so i will say my goodbyes, and make my way up to the 19th floor to sleep on my TERRIBLE cot lol. (you can feel every spring...) Maybe I'll take the stairs to the 19th floor. seeing as its 936 pm and i need to have to SLEEP when i get there haha. Anyways, G'day mates! hope you all are well!
