Sunday, May 25, was a very early morning. The girls and I have been talking about waking up to go to Bondi Beach to see the sunrise for several weeks now. I set my alarm Saturday night for 5:16 in the morning. When it went off I dreaded the thought of getting out of bed. After a couple minutes, Nicole and I began to get ready. Around 5:45 in the morning Drey came and met us at our room, we were the three musketeers that were dedicated enough to wake up and go to the sunrise. After walking to Seven Eleven to buy bus tickets we headed to Railway Square to catch the 5:59 Coogee bus where we wanted to go. Unfortunately, after waiting for several minutes and witnessing a very intoxicated blonde Australian boy fall asleep on the Asian man sitting next to him on the bench, we decided to sprint to the train and catch the next one to Bondi Junction hoping that the 333 was running. We caught the train and life was good until we arrived at Bondi Junction and found out the 333 was not running until 9:00 am. Sh*t out of luck, we decided we'd take a cab, 5 minutes later we arrived at the beach just in time. We walked down to the water and camped in the sand over looking North Bondi at the beautiful pink, orange and yellow sky waiting for the sun to rise. It was very chilly but surfers filled the waters. After the sun rose and we took a photoshoot (of course) we headed to the Eastern Beaches Coastal walk which is a 6km walk from Bondi to Coogee passing all the beaches in between. After an hour or two we finally made it to Coogee, the sun was not shining at that moment, I was freezing and tired so I headed home. Upon walking onto the bus I noticed all bus ticket readers were faulty and I did not have to use my ticket which saved my a$$ in the end because of the cops that were at the stop before mine (I was a rebel and bought a concession ticket). Freaking out because of my illegal actions, I got off at the next stop, double checking for cops and since it was clear I booked it. Unfortunately, it wasn't the closest bus stop to my apartment but I didn't want to risk it so I hopped off and walked the 10 minute walk home. As soon as I got home I hopped in bed and took the most glorious nap of my life. That night, I didn't do much but watch a couple TV shows.
Today, May 26, was a very busy day for me. I had Spanish in the morning and skipped my Asian lecture at noon because of a Spanish final oral exam I had to work on. It's a dialog between myself and two other girls which has to be memorized for Wednesday, I'm the world's worst Spanish speaker! After finishing the dialog I walked over to the Co-Op to pick up some Uni hoodies for me and my mom then strolled home. Seeing as how I was starving, I made myself some lunch and hopped on my computer to write a paper. UGH. Last one of the semester thank god! I've been working on this paper all night long but thankfully its not due for another week. Soon I will be sending it off to my editor, aka Al, for her to probably re-write the whole thing cause I'm bad at writing. Other than that not much has been going on. I have 5 more days of Uni and I cannot wait to just relax in Australia. This weekend Sydney, Sam, Libby and I are planning adventurous things. We plan on going to Hunter Valley one day soon and the Blue Mountains. I also need to go to the Harley Store to get Rick's shirt, hopefully I can do that on Wednesday.
Well for now, love ya!
