I met Linda, Isabell and Ulie at 9:10 so we could catch the bus to Alex for our surf lessons! Our lessons only started at 11 but there were no other buses that would get us there before then so we were forced to lay on the beach until it was time. Some of the other girls that were taking the lessons found us and told us we were going to Mooloolaba beach instead. That was a good thing because the waves were really big at Alex. One of the instructors brought us...

It was another early morning. I met Linda and Isabell at 8:10 to catch the 8:20 bus to Landsborough. We then took the train to Brisbane to go shopping! We went to the Direct Factory Outlet first which had some really good deals. We then took the bus into central Brisbane and did some shopping at the Queen Street Mall where it is always fun to people watch.

I went to the library once I got that done to write my paper but I ran into Richard and talked to him ...

No class today because it's ANZAC (Australia New Zealand Army Corps) day! It's sorta like Veteran's Day; everything was shut down so I didn't go anywhere. I was pretty lazy anyway. Didn't get much accomplished. I was going to go to a 24-hour computer lab to do some homework but didn't get that far. I met Linda, Ulie and Isabell at Isabell's apartment at 1pm to exchange pictures from the trip. I burned the pictures onto a CD and when I brought it back here, ...
