So today I got up and went to swim club again. We swam 2000m again. We did 4 x 350 Free, 50 non free on some interval… everything is on some interval and I am always the last to finish. But I’m working on it and pushing myself! Haha.
Afterwards I showered and got ready to go into Lennox for the Barbeque Breakfast at the local Lions Club… I believe it was. We had bacon and egg sandwiches off the Barbie and they were DE-Licious!! Then I went to the bakery with Angie, Tracy, Mike and JD ( I like them.. but they live in the cabins...so we don’t get to see them much.)
This brings me to another point. Most of the people that live in the lodge kind seem sort of clique-y.. Haha I’m sure that’s not how that should be written. The certain boys are stuck on certain girls which happen to be the other swimmers. Oh well. Its early on.. I’m thinking that might start to go away as people get more comfortable and classes start. So far they have been loud every night.. I hope that changes too. Haha.
I swam in the ocean and “tried to surf” this means that I paddled out on the surf board… but my feet never touched the board…or were even close.
Oh last night my bed started to feel more like my bed…less like a mattress I would be sleeping on for a while.
Now we are waiting to go catch the bus to Ballina for the Australia Day celebration. Theres suppose to be fireworks and a band and stuff. I think about half of the group is going. (There are about 34 of us total I think)
Ballina Celebration
We... the nice kids… walked to the bus station in town and there we met a bunch of Aussie high-schoolers who were “off head” It was fun to compare different words and cultures. They all hate George Bush. Funny. Then we talked to more on the bus. Then we ate when we got into town...another lions club grill- sausage. We walked around a bit and ended up going to a pub. Had a good time. My first alcohol of the trip…and it was nasty.
We missed the fireworks and band because an old man told us the wrong time…but then it started to rain so we waited on the bus…saw our Aussie girl friend and then rode home. Rachael and Angie and I had fun being “loud Americans” Then we went and hung out in the cabins. Watched people act silly…tried for 5hrs to put in my nose ring. No swimming tomorrow morning!
