 Mondays will be incredible... 

So today we started classes. The campus is much busier than it has been and it ALMOST is starting to feel like school...but...still...not really. All three of us had Drugs and Behavior lecture from 12-2pm, and then our Tutorial (which is just a movie every time) from 2-3pm. Before then however, we got up for breakfast and went to the travel agent.

We are planning the following trips. Bear with me:

Whitsundays/Great Barrier Reef (Sailing for 3 days 3 nights, 1 day in a hostel...March 25-29, Kyra's 21st will be spent on the boat and scuba diving!!) We booked the flight for that one and have to back on Wednesday to book the actually trip *since we are all poor and gotta figure out our bank accounts*

Rainforest Jungle Camp (2 days, 1 night. Camp in the rainforest. Walk underneath waterfalls. Hunts for wild animals and trying not to get eaten or break bones.) January 30th-Feb 1st, with our friend Pat.

Fraser Island (4WD off roading on the beach, ferry trips, picnic lunches by streams and some forests. We stay over night at a beach resort. Second day we go to the rainforests and spend time at another "crystal clear lake"...snorkeling and such) February 20th weekend

Tall Ship Cruise (Day trip, sail to their private island, have lunch and feed wallabies and eagles...and some other fantastic stuff I'm sure)

Winery Tour (leaves straight from campus...5-6 wineries, includes lunch and tasting)

Sea World (swim with some dolphins perhaps)

Dream World (Australia's biggest amusement park? haha)

Whale Watching

And I'm sure some other fantastic things that I can't think of but I took notes on to talk to the travel agent again. We will be so broke it will be fantastic.

I will leave you with an adorable picture of Kyra, Lindsey and me from New Years Eve. Since I have no new ones for this week yet.
