Casino Royale, Mt. Keira, Skydiving




























































































































I know its been awhile since I have written, I have been so busy these last two weeks with school. This past week I started my online psychology class and boy is it a lot of work. It is not hard it just is a lot of reading and writing. This past weekend was awesome. My weekends start on Thursdays so Jolina, Kristina, Krissy and I went out for dinner at a cute little Italian restaurant then went for ice cream after to celebrate our long week of hard school work. Well I was wearing leggings that had a funky tag on the butt and if you know me when tags bother me I have to rip them off (my mother would know for sure). You know those tags that are on new pillows that when you pull them they make a nice clean rip and come right off? HA well thats what the noise was when I ripped this tag off my pants as we were walking to the ice cream place. The tag was right in between my cheeks so it was a must it needed to come off, as I pulled it off my hand went through the now large hole that was down the crack of my pants... EMBARRASSING right?! Yeah my friends about died laughing cause we were in town where people were eating and this girl is walking past them with her butt exposed attempting to make it not so noticeable. Looking back on it and the pictures I probably wont put up for the world to see it is quite funny. But really... it WOULD happen to me!

We had a Uni Ball on Friday night so we all got dressed up and went to school for the theme “Casino Royale.” We had a really yummy dinner of steak, garlic mashed potatoes, green beans and for desert, crème brule. All of us from Keiraview danced for 2 hours straight and the bouncers yelled at you if you took your shoes off- so you can imagine dancing in high heels for that long… my feet were broken when I got done. Saturday we went to lunch at tease me which is a tea place with really yummy food. Then we went on a climb to hike up Mt. Keira! It is a 5 km round trip hike, but before that we walked to it, so that was another 3.5 km. I was exhausted that night but the view was beautiful. Right when we started the hike, the incline was about 75 degrees and there were 17 thousand stairs, okay well not really but when you are climbing it is seemed like it! When we got through that I was about to turn right around and go back home. But I kept going and am happy that I did!

Sunday (mother's day), I went skydiving again!!! I think I am addicted, it is the coolest thing I have ever done. We got to go the full 14,000 feet and my free fall was about a minute long and I was falling at over 200km/second! I brought four people with me so I got to jump free! The second time going was heaps better than the first. My instructor was crazy and we did flips out of the plane, again I screamed the whole way down. My video for this one was pretty funny- I will do my best to post it when I get some time! We got to land on the beach this time and it was amazing, I LOVE IT. When Krissy landed she accidentally dug her feet into the sand and her instructor (250 pound man) toppled on top of her and the parachute went over the two of them. It was like a scene from the movies, I about died laughing. She pretty much catapulted the man over her!

Anyway I am going to write about my weekend in Sydney next!

LOVE Nikki :)
