Today was a rough day, I had to make a tough decision. I had to choose between writing my paper and going to the beach...being the good student I am I chose the obvious answer...the beach. I went with Matilda, Dani, Marie, Carole and one of their French friends. It was beautiful out. The waves were big and breaking close together. I only got pummelled by a few waves, I did better than I expected. I had to dive under most of the waves and a few of them I dove too late so the wave took me and I hit the bottom. By the time you recovered from one wave there was another one coming and you had to dive for that one so there wasn't much rest time in between. There were a few times when the waves didn't break and we got to float over top but that usually didn't last long before they were breaking again. Matilda, Dani and I took a break to go find some ice cream and walked up and down the street across from the beach. We ran into their mate Erica who just got off work and I had a swim with her but we didn't stay long because the waves were still somewhat big even though the swell had gone down. Matilda wanted to go to the Plaza to do a few things so Erica and I went with her. We hurried to the bus stop which was far a way because we thought we were going to be late and the bus never showed up so we had to take a later one. It was after 3 when we got to the Plaza and we all wanted to get back to study so we hurried and made the 4:30 bus back to the Uni. Joanna and Fallon were on the bus so I got to hear about their weekend in Brisbane and horseback riding. We got back just in time for Joanna and I to change and walk to church. At the end of mass they announced that they were having a young adults dinner thing at someone's house and students were invited but we had to say no because we both needed to study. We met the people who organised it though and they seemed really nice so we are hoping to go in a fortnight when the next one is. Matilda and I made tea together when I got back from mass so by the time I started my paper it was 8:30. ooops. I worked on it for a while and then took a break and went down to the pavilion where I knew Emma and some of my friends were. I came back up to the apartment with Emma and a few of her friends and took a few more breaks than I should have to talk to them. I got too tired to work on it by 2am so I went to bed.
