Australia Day

Aussie Aussie Aussie….Oy Oy Oy! Happy Australia day!
Today is Wednesday, almost Thursday but I’m still up after an eventful day! I had the day off, because of Australia day which is the equivalent to our 4th of July. It couldn’t be a more perfect day. I got up and got to skype with my Ma, Dad and……ROCKO! It’s always nice to hear from my boys and my parents. It was definitely a great day to start my morning. After skype seshs I went back to bed, because I was exhausted. I woke up from Jenn’s phone call, which was perfect to get up and get going. All the girls got together and headed over to Manly for a beach day on everyone’s day off. We had a great day. At first the weather was over-casted, but the sun came out and it got really hot. Mel left to go meet up with her friend Abby in the city, but we all wanted to stay. We stayed at the beach for a while longer, but then around 4ish I needed food due to not eating all day. We ate at Sugar Lounge right on the waterfront. After a late lunch we walked our way over to Shelley Beach to try to get the last rays of the day. On the way there the sights kept getting even more beautiful so we ended up taking so any pictures on the way there. We found Rock baths (pool of rocks that’s right above the beach that you can swim in), so we stopped and played in there for a while. Before we knew it time got late so we headed back to the wharf. We just made the630 ferry back to the city. We got back around 730ish, in which we scurried to get ready so we could head down to Darling Harbour. Darling Harbour had the fireworks, so we headed up on the bridge to watch the display. Holy crap it was AMAZING. There was a time where I thought I was going to get hit by a firework.  Everything was so close. After the firework display, we headed down to the Aquarium to meet up with some of the Global Experience girls from last semester. Some of them stayed around so we all went out to a bar called Scary Canary with really cheap drinks. It was a really good time, but I can’t stay out late when I know I have work tomorrow morning.
Tuesday—after work I headed back to the flat, in which Mel finally came home. We were both starving so we headed over to the other side of Darling Harbour Bridge to the Middle Eastern restaurant. Such good food that was hard, and we got HookahJ. I was happy. After hanging out at the restaurant for a while we headed back to the hotel because Mel’s friend was coming over to chill. We had a great NIGHTJ.
I’m exhausted and can’t write anymore. Ps-The McDonaldsfoodhereis10xbetterthan America’s, although they give you less food here. Maybe America should learn something?
