I just got back 2 hours ago from Melbourne. It was an overnight bus and I hardly got any sleep done.Maybe 3 hours out of 11? We got back around 6h30 am and I figured I should go to my 8 am class since I was awake anyways. I was passing out in class from being so tired so I had to get myself a coffee just to wake me up. at the coffee place during our class break, I met this guy (named Andrew) from Sydney, in Aerospace eng, he was kind of cute, but more importantly, when I told him my name he said, " I heard about you" then when I gave him a curious look as to how, he said something along the lines of "well, not a lot of girls in this class, so you get noticed pretty quickly" :) ahh that's cool, nice to know I've been noticed by some cute aussies in mech :)
I just faxed McGill with my classes, hopefully I'm going to get all my transfer credits. I wonder when I'll know!
Melbourne was awesome. Oh the Friday, we had this tiny tram tour of the city, which was cool but wasn't long, then Cath and I went on a Day trip to Phillip Island. We stopped at a winery on the way and had some wine tasting. I didn't really like them that much - I'm a bit picky - but the port wine was good. After that I had a bit of a buzz to that was fun :) Then we went to a petting zoo place (i think it was called Maru) where we touched a wombat, fed kangaroos, taught a sort of parrot to say "hello" (we like to think it didn't know it beforehand) and saw a bunch of other animals like koalas, Tasmanian devils, emu, wallabys, alpacas, a croc, etc. Lots of fun. Then off to Phillip island where we saw the penguin parade. they were a lot smaller than i expected, but also so much closer! they walked all the way up to the tourist center and we saw them so close to us! Too bad we weren't allowed to take pictures.
On Saturday, we had a day trip to the Great Ocean Road. the weather was amazing and the views too! wow. Soon I'll put my pics up! That was st patty's day so at night Cath and I and a few of her girlfriends we out and drank a lot but i had so much fun
On Sunday, I woke up at noon, hungover. Oh I slept at Cath's place. We went shopping around the city. It's really nice. Trams are cool. I like the little alleyways and the cafes and the sushi. Bought a shirt and some shorts. Fun! That day was the F1 but even though I would have liked to go, I chose to spend the day with Cath. later, at the hostel, with our group, we had a BBQ on the roof (yummy) then it was off to Sydney.
My dad is coming to Sydney this weekend from the 24th to the 29th, because he's actually working in Dubai for a bit and he's made his way back home to pass through Australia. I was actually planning on going to Hunter Valley on the 24th for the day. it's a winery just outside of Sydney. I want to go, and my dad says I should since he'll have been on an overnight plane from Dubai and he'll want to rest that day, but I don't know if I should. Ideally he'd come with me. I'll have to check if there are trips on other weekends.
I booked my plane ticket to Tasmania during easter break. Land in Launceston and leave from Hobart. I haven't figured out yet what I'm going to do there. Cath said she booked the tasmania trip at melbourne during the week off right before exams, and she said for 4 days its less than 400$, but I can't find any trips for that cheap. I'm in Tasmania for 1 week. I kind of want to go to Cradle mountain and Wineglass bay, they seem really nice. I'm going with Cyrus (he's in mech, on exchange to U of Sydney) but we haven't really talked about it much. he's going to melbourne first and i dont even know when he's getting to tasmania, but he'll arrive at devonport from an overnight ferry.
