Last Post at Age 20
This is gonna be a fairly short post since it's late. Last night I went over to Peter's house with Simon, Joel and BradWa, Rob and a bunch of other people to play "Risk" and some other games for awhile. I didn't win the game of "Risk" that I played, but I still had a blast. While we were waiting for the other game of "Risk 2210 A.D." to finish, they all taught me a new dice game called "Zilch" that's really fun too. Around 3:30am some of em were gonna make a run to Hungry Jack's (the Aussie version of Burger King, literally ... it has the same menu, logo and everything, just a different name) before starting a brand new game of Risk, but I just had to go back to Monash to get some sleep. It was seriously the most enjoyable Friday night I've had since I got here, I'd say.
This morning (Saturday) I got all packed for my trip to the Whitsunday Islands, and Bruce came and picked me up and brought me back to James & Ali's place, where I still am. We watched the Grand Final footy game on the telly, and Port Adelaide shocked three-time defending champion Brisbane 131-71. It was a close game most of the way, it was tied at 62 late in the 3rd quarter before the Power poured it on against the Lions to win their first AFL Premiership. Way to go Port! I couldn't possibly cheer for Brisbane, it'd be akin to cheering for the Lakers or Yankees. But after that got done, I started working on uploading a bunch of Photo albums and a few video clips as well. Basically, I've updated pretty much every page in some way, but the most noticeable changes will be on my Photos and Movies pages, which now have new albums or movies to see!! At least now I'm finally caught up from late July, hehe. Let me know what you think of the new stuff.
Anyway, in the morning, in just over six hours, I'm flying out to the Whitsunday Islands for my 21st birthday and spring break! I'm so excited, I can't wait! James was gracious enough to agree to drive me to the airport, which is why I'm staying overnight here tonight. I'll be getting to Airlie Beach around 1 or 2pm I expect, and Richard should be getting there via Greyhound at about 11:30pm. We'll be in Airlie Beach hanging out at the Whitsundays until Wednesday night or Thursday morning, at which point we're gonna rent a car and drive up to Cairns, and spend Thursday & Friday nights there, before we fly back to uni from Cairns on Saturday morning. I don't know if I'll get internet access up there or not, but it's almost a sure thing that next time I post something, I'll be 21!
