Beach Days :)

So this past week has been pretty low key. I had a huge test yesterday in my cognitive psych class that was worth 35% of my grade! It was nuts. I have never had something count for so much. But marie and i got together and studied bunches. After all the studying, I think it actually paid off. It wasn't too hard... one of the essays was a little confusing, but i think overall it went very well.

last wednesday i went on this 70s love boat cruise our housing area had put together. it was interesting to say the least. i went with my friend nicola and we had a good time. it was a little nuts though with everybody packed on there and dancing the night away. but it was a nice break from all the studying i had been doing.

thursday we just took it easy and friday we were going to go to the beach but it rained. instead we went grocery shopping and i finished my notecards for the test. friday night we headed down to our friend's from finland, Simo and Anna's, place to have a pre-party before we went out. Anna's brother was in town so that was fun. There place is gorgeous! It looks right down onto the harbor and you can see the bridge and the opera house easily. It was awesome! After getting lost in north sydney for a while trying to find it, the ending factor was definitely worth it. from there, we jumped on a ferry across the harbour and went out in darling harbor. we also went to this bar called the ivy- which is supposed to be one of the best clubs in sydney. it was a pretty cool club but it was packed and really not as exciting as it was made out to be. but we still had a good time.

saturday because it was soo nice out we headed to the beach early. we played around with the volleyball, got kebabs and ice cream, did some shopping, and saw weird fishes swept up. the rip was nuts that day so we weren't allowed to swim much of the lifegaurds went nuts. but we decided to make a whole day of it and stayed down there until sunset. joe tried to go surfing for his first time ever which was entertaining and then we got dinner and caught the bus back. it was sooo fun to just hang at the beach all day and the weather was perfect! favorite day at the beach by far...

sunday we took it easy and tried to study a bunch. as for other interesting news- henry won president of marquette. shoutouts belong to kovac and camille and lars is going home soon!

i think that is all. these next couple weeks have to be low key before spring break!! miss you all!

cheers :)
