A night swim

Yesterday was quite an interesting day and an even better night. I got up yesterday to get some homework done and to read this article for my Aboriginal Studies class that is soo boring I want to stick pencils in my eyes... It has taken me 3 days to finish because it is THAT bad. Unfortunately only after I finished it I looked at the syllabus to find my friend copied the wrong article and I never even had to read it. HOW LAME. After that Krissy and I went for a walk to the beach, we stopped to have a smoothie and then headed back home. After I got home I was about to get into the shower. As I entered my 2x4 bathroom I was only in my socks. I took of one sock and as I took off the other I crossed my leg over my other thigh to take it off. Well as I did that my finger acted as a sling shot as I slipped my sock off and up it went- then down right into my toilet... I stood there for a moment knowing I had to get it out but mad at myself I didnt see it coming. I picked it up and squeegied the water out and threw it into a plastic bag to be washed. Then I jumped into the shower and washed my hands for a good 25 minutres. Haha... at least I had not gone to the bathroom before it went into the toilet like what happened to my cell phone a few years ago!!

We had plans to go to the beach for a good time for our friend Phil's 21st birthday. It started raining so they moved the location to Campus East where the majority of our friends live. We went to go get some dinner before hand at Coconut Thai and the whole place was booked I mean there were about 60 spots to sit and they were all set for a huge group... really bummed we stood outside trying to think what else we wanted to eat when we realized we could get take out! So we walked back inside to get our meals to go. Once I finished an amazing pad ce ew guy (NOT A CLUE HOW TO SPELL) we walked to the train station to get to Fairymedow where Campus East is. I am SOO glad that I do not live there. This place is like a crazy freshman dorm where kids are away from their parents for the first time and are wild. There were bottles and garbage all over the place and music was unbelievably loud, I dont know how I would ever sleep. I was really grossed out by the place and was watching my every step. Finally Phil yelled, "LETS GO TO THE BEACH!!!!" So about 30 of us all headed down to the beach in the pitch black.

Once we got to the beach the boys stipped down to their boxers and ran into the ocean doing cannon balls in about a foot of water... I am curious how much that actually hurt at the time. They really wanted everyone to get in the water and me being the cautious one I was thinking to myself... it is dark outside and I cant see what is swimming with me so I was not keen on the idea of getting in water and being A. stung by a blue bottle or B. having a shark find me. But after about 20 minutes all the girls were jumping in too with their undergarments on and no one was being eaten or stung. Finally I came around and joined everyone! We were getting attacked by the waves and the water was soo warm. We had a blast, people who didnt want to get in the water were being drug into the water clothes and all. I would NOT have been happy if that was the case for me so good thing I went in! After a while we were starting to get tired and we had a LONG walk ahead of us down the beach. So Krissy and I started ahead since everyone else was being pokey. Eventually they caught up to us and boy the walk didnt seem to end. By the time we split off from the others going to International house my thighs were chaffing and my calves were burning from trecking in the sand for an hour and a half. The picture you see above is of me putting my dress between my legs to stop the pain of them rubbing together... it wasnt working and at this point we still had a twenty minute walk to get home. Krissy thought this was hilarious because SHE has never experienced the pain of chaffing- so she wanted to take a picture of my misery. So as you can see I was pouting and wishing I was already back. BUT unfortunately for me no matter how many times I closed my eyes and re-opening them hoping that Keiraview was right in front of me-that was not the case. Once we got home I was so happy! I crawled into bed and was sleeping like a baby :)
