WE WENT ABSEILING!
Lulu, Siobhan and I felt like doing something adventurous this weekend and so, with Lulu working for an events company, we bagged an abseiling lesson for half price. I've got to admit it, it was one of the scariest things I've done and for a moment I thought I wouldn't make it down. Mainly because all coordination between you hands and feet is forgotten and for some reason your bouncing around on the side of a cliff. I also was severely hungover from a wonderfully messy night on Thursday.
However, it was also one of the coolest things I've done so far. I took a moment to look down/behind me and this was my view:
That's when I forgot about being scared. This was at Kangaroo Point, just next to Southbank. It really is beautiful and I can't believe it's taken me seven weeks to see it! Yep, seven weeks I've been here now. That's two months next week. The time is flying! In keeping with Lara Croft theme, I've spent my day on a dirt bike track. I went to visit a friend down near the Gold Coast and found myself surrounded my people who love to go crazy and ride motor cross bikes. I spent half the time closing my eyes to save myself from witnessing a crash or some sort of tragedy. Turns out, there was a bit of a tragedy. I don't know what happened but there were 4 'ambos' (ambulances) and a helicopter.
Anyway I had a very spontaneous and adventurous weekend which was just what I wanted. It's good to get away from Griffith on the weekends, clears your head a bit. Next week I start my job on campus, perfect timing as we are booking Mid Semester break soon. We've decided on the Whitsunday Islands (paradise). It'll break the bank but it'll be worth it.
Seeeeee ya
