WOW...a lot has happened...

Well last weekend we ventured to Magnetic Island where many sketchy things occured...but all in all the island was beautiful and breathtaking. We stayed at a hostel on the island and Sam, Brittany and I had no idea what the nights would bring!! Just to sum it up...Sam was found showering in her clothes, Brittany was off on an excursion to see a "tent" and I was stopped on the bridge by a European man (after getting almost molested the night before by an italian) who asked "whats wrong ky" and all i said was "i miss lino" to which he said "whos lino" and i replied "this boy i like" to which he replied "well why dont i walk you back" to which i said "ok" and once we got back in the room he tried to stay which is an entire story in itself HE DID NOT STAY and left Thank God!! Anyways...Magnetic Island is breathtaking and gorgeous and all the in between..we even saw a wedding on the island which was so romantic and beautiful--anyways i started feeling more sick on sunday and the other girls didnt feel so hott either so we decided to come back early and on Monday after my presentation in which Chad played an aboriginee--i still didnt feel better and by Tuesday I was dying...so after going to the doc on tuesday ...i have mono :-( bOO...and i had to go back today and get more blood work done...it totally sucks but im hanging in there and just trying to catch up with school...

Walking through a Drive Thru

So for the past 3 days I have continued to feel like death and yesterday I woke up with pink eye and have no idea how I got it..gross...anyways tonight as I was doing my reading for my quiz sam calls me and asks to go to McDonalds...I reply with perhaps...but how are we going to get there? Obvioulsy delivery wasnt an option via Dominos or any chinese restaurant because it was past 10 and everything closes at like 3 on Sundays...except Mcdonalds...We run through possible Aussie people who could take us: Matt, Andrew, Shawn, Katie, Caitlyn various others and decide to take a taxi...we invite sara to join along who after a bit of convincing complies...so we call a taxi. First of all, the taxi driver is super sketch so we just tell him to pull into McDonalds..once we get there we tell him we will just get out and call another to pick us up when we are done..so we go to get into McD's and they lock the doors on us literally as soon as we get there..they tell us to go to the drive thru..we explain to them that we do not have cars and they said it was fine..yes we walked through a drive thru something i havent even done in KY but choose to do over here..and by choose i mean forced. well of course sam and sara get there food and scurry away and while i am waiting on my chicken nuggets a car pulls up behind me..yes i am waiting to be served at the window while a car sits behind me...it was probably one of the most embarassing moments of my life..as sam and sara merely take pictures from a distance...not that this blog is really relevant in anyway i just wanted to make sure i remember this night when i return because it was very funny and possibly the lowest CF point in my life..therefore documentation was in order!!

BTW sara who did not want to go to McDonalds in the first place decided to purchase a McFlurry and Frozen Coke...perfect haha

Cant wait to for my weekend excursions and St. Pattys DAy on Tuesday Night it is suppose to be soo wild

In a Blog mood

So for the past 4 days Ive been sick...I dont know if its from the sketch trailor i live in, the esphestus which we think could be lurking, or the creepy aussie who decided to kiss me literally out of nowhere and whom sara slapped directly after...we arent sure of the cause. Nevertheless I have already been to the doctor once this week and I havent started feeling any better so I decided to go the Uni Clinic today...and I found out they dont talk walk-ins the hard way. FML. I made an appt. for tomorrow but I have a fieldtrip I have to attend so I doubt I will make it. Ive been in a frumpy mood the past coupld days and I am pretty sure its because I feel so ick...I like being home when I am sick--even when Im at Transy I prefer to be home when I dont feel well...so it sucks being in a trailor and feeling like death lol... In other news I bought "Its just a date" earlier this week its by Greg Behrendt My absolute favorite author think *he's just not that into you* and *it's called a break-up*...so Ive started reading that and as with all of his books its wildly comical.
Spring break plans are still up in the air...I may add New Zealand as a stopover flight on my way back to the states instead of going on spring break...Im thinking for spring break i may go to a 4 day dive cert. school on magnetic island and because certified to scuba and then fly down to sydney and learn to surf..then catch NZ on my way home...but who knows? I also wanted to go to Fiji ---its hard to find time to do everything. This coming up weekend I am meeting with Aboriginal people including "Uncle Rusty" who apparently is a pretty big deal so that should be exciting and then next weekend im Going to MAgnetic Island and kayaking i think and the next white water rafting at Mission Beach which i am def looking forward too--ive never been and we are going on level 4 rapids!! PERFECT!! haha
In other news Katie is planning to come to Malta with me which is really exciting..we are planning to fly into Rome and stay there for a bit and Lino and one of his friends may meet us there---after that we are taking a ferry to Malta and spending almost 3 weeks..so basically Ill be in Europe for the entire month of August--but I am DEF. Not complaining--I am looking more forward to this trip than any I have taken. mmm...what else? its been pretty unevenful in Townsville Todd and Sam came over last night and we ordered dominos which is really expensive here and you dont get a ton of food...I have been excercising with an elastic band in my trailor lol--and im trying to get my butt up and run with sam and britt in the mornings but i havent had much luck--im trying to get healthy here and slim down..unforunately the past few days have 86ed the healthy part!! Oh i went to stocklands today to get medicene and buy trashy magazines (BTW I CANT BELIEVE RIHANNA is back with him) and there was a huge girlfight..and security rushed in..sam and britt and i were in awe lol--it was def. CF....mmm...its late and I have to get up early so I suppose Ill go to bed but I felt in a blog-mood so i figured id write..sometimes it helps to just vent frustrations or whatever--I cant believe Ive already been here over a month..hope everything is well at home.

OH...

And I have also been introduced to the site "www.Fmylife.com"---I would suggest checking it out..it makes me laugh daily!

Its been awhile...

Its been quite a while since Ive written and as requested from Katherine Boone..I will update on my adventure...Recently, I celebrated my 21st birthday...a group of about 15 went to dinner and then we came back and Sam and Sara threw a party for me where we played games and had a really great time. I was introduced to a drinking game known as "Matt Dawes" but the entire night I thought it was mad dogs..it was pretty funny. I also got a flask with "Tina's 21st" engraved on it..so that really nice and its pink :-)... I also got a lot of really nice cards in the mail so thanks for those :-)...My parents called me on my birthday and informed me that I can go to Malta in August to visit Lino for my bday present--so i am super excited about that! We've been talking and ive decided to stay almost 3 weeks there---we are going to Sicily and stuff as well while Im there so that should be super exciting!! Back to my Aussie adventure...I am going to Magnetic Island this friday for the "full moon" party..the hotels and stuff filled up so quickly we have no room to stay in..so we are camping out on the beach on friday but its suppose to be wild so im pretty excited! I went the reef HQ yesterday which is a big aquarium here and it was very cool....We all went out last night to the exchange which is a common hangout on Flinders St which is the night scene here...it was so much fun--somehow sam got seperated from the group and wound up face down in a ditch..literally...she was so mad at us this morning at breakfast but as with most things we were laughing about it 5 minutes later..Todd, Sara, and I ventured to a SKETCHY sushi place the other night..it was decorated with insect figurines, and paper napkins in the wine glasses in an attempt to "church up the place" i refused to eat there so todd made up some story and the waitress just looked at us..and we bolted..we said we were going to stop at the next decent restaurant..well that didnt happen until we came to Cactus Jacks which was almost 4 miles from the restaurant...and so we walked...what else?...We are trying to finalize spring break plans and I think we have decided to go to New Zealand..it should be an amazing time and it had the tallest bungee jump in the world so we are def. doing that--taylor swift is coming to Brisbane this week and I cant go :-( boo...My parents are coming in about 4 weeks and I am so excited to see them--I am trying to plan a bunch of stuff for them to do i just dont feel like there is enough time! the other night we went down to the strand and ate ice cream on the beach..it was very nice although there were so many couples it made me sick!! haha--we then drove up to castle hill and just watched the city lights..it was so beautiful!! ERich is coming in just a couple of months and I am super excited about that...I told him we are going skydiving again but he doesnt seem to excited so who knows?...I spoke with my sister the other day and she told me that Leeann womack is opening up for brooks and dunn this summer so im pretty excited about that...VIP tickets and Ill be 21!! I miss my friends in KY--its been really nice to see most of you on skype or talk on FB....Mm...I dont know what else to say...life is going really great here--its just going by so fast and I feel like i cant grasp it..i have some other funny stories but those need to be shared in person!! I really love my friends over here--they are so much fun and always up for an adventure...A few of us are going to take surfing lessons in Sydney and the Gold Coast soon so Im super pumped about that....As for me, the trailor is still Sketchy, the food in the dorm is even more sketchy, the bugs which i wake up to each morning in teh trailor have decreased, and I am going to treasure my car when i return--waiting an hour for the bus or almost dying a few nights ago with todd and sara i have come to appreciate public transport...anyways--I feel like I am growing as a person while I am here...I am doing things I never thought I would do, being more independent and in some ways depending on others more. I am learning about myself and reflecting on the past 6 months of my life...which looking back seem to have been a dream. I feel like when I return to the states I am going to be a completely different person...I can already tell Ive changed a lot of things--- I hope this satisfies you Katie Boone--Ill try and update this more. Love and Miss you guys!!
