Holidays!

It’s the holidays! Such a relief to get a break off Uni however short it is. I unfortunately weren’t able to go home to Darwin these holidays (as I attend Cromwell College) but fortunately my mum lives in Brisbane so I was able to spend some time with her. My brother and sister also came down from Darwin for a few days, which was nice as well. We went night kayaking on the Brisbane River, and went under the story bridge that was both thrilling and daunting! College was very quiet; there were about 20-30 people there when there are usually at least 250! I had planned to get a lot of Uni work out of the way, but it never happened. One of my good friends from College, “Gump” (fresher name) lives in Mooloolaba and invited me to stay there for three nights. When I first arrived at her house I couldn’t believe it!! It was one of the most prestigious houses I’d ever seen in my life, right on the marina. Everything you can possibly imagine in a house she had it! But she is so unbelievably modest I had no idea her family was that wealthy. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t ideal beach weather while I was there, however we were lucky for about an hour on one of the days to head down to the beach! While I was there I discovered my love for second hand shopping, where I bought 8 items of clothing for about $30! We did too much shopping, but we had a lot of fun in the process. Gump and I also caught up with one our friends from College, Shrim (fresher name). We had breakfast right on the beach, which was nice. Overall, I had an amazing time and am so lucky to have made so many great friends at College! By the time Gump and I returned to college, the majority of people were back. It was good to catch up with everyone and hear what have had been up to over the holidays!
