Like a true aussie

Today we went out to Anglesea Beach to surf...it was an heaps of fun.  Absolutely exhausting but loads of fun.  Jesse was much at it than I was, but as you can see I almost got up. We were there for about 3 hours, and in that time I was successful in getting to my one foot and knee.  I would have loved to stay longer but man oh man it's exhausting.  Catching a wave, falling over and having to battle your way back is just so tiring.  Jesse was a great teacher, he even had me on the beach pretending I was surfing in the water like a real instructor would.  We got a board rental for an entire day for $25, and since Jesse went for lessons yesterday he taught me, probably the best $25 I have spent.  I certainly wont be eating anything with salt on it for a very long time, I think I drank just a little too much ocean water, and I think I ate my fair share of seaweed in the process as well.  I'm really not looking forward to tomorrow when I know my entire body is going to be aching, however I do think I'm hooked and can't wait to go back again, maybe next time I'll be able to get up.

On another note, school is going really well, had some marks back and I'm happy to say they were good ones.  Although I was a little bit confused with the marking system here at first, here things are marked as High Distinctions (HD) Distinction (D) Credit (C) or Pass (P), so getting a mark back that says D was little scary at first but I talked to some people and realized I was actually doing well.  I just finished two more courses this past week, so only 4 more courses and two sets of practicum to go!  Time is flying by.  I've got an entire week of maths this week coming...I'm not sure what to think about that yet.  

The weather has been incredibly hot lately...the hottest it's been in 100 years.  The last couple of days have been up over 40 degrees.  Yesterday the air conditioning wasn't working at school so I'm sure you can image how hot a lecture hall with 67 people in it could get.  I'm not sure I could handle it if our place wasn't air conditioned....last night we slept in the livingroom because it was just so much cooler.  I think we might do the same tonight depending on how the night turns out heat wise.  

well I think I'm going to go and hang out beach clothes up...cheers until next time
