Lecture reccess, part 1

Lecture reccess has begun. Friday night Ashley and I decided to treat ourselves to dinner and the casino. Little did we know that Ashley has an addiction and lost 180 dollars. F her L. Rohan was also sighted that night, FML. Saturday was relaxing and shopping. Sunday was an early wake-up for my field trip. After travelling to Orpheous Island it was all work. We were in the water for up to 8 hours a day, surveying fish. I never though I would be so happy to be on land again. Tuesday was my 21st birthday and I got a candle on my pie on the island. Wednesday was another early moring and the drive back to JCU. After unpacking an re-packing it was time to head to the airport for my flight to Brisbane. Ashley and I didn't exactly plan ahead so we had to sleep for 5 hours in the Brisbane airpoirt while waiting for the first train. It was sketch and people stared. Once arriving in Gold Coast we saw our sketch hostel and booked it to Dreamworld. It was alot of fun in that the rides were thrilling, if nothing but short. We did alot of stuff and then headed back to the Islander Resort Backpackers. Its not as shady as previously thought and our roomie Doug is pretty awesome. Him and Ashley are engaged actually. Friday was our eXtrmeme Jet boating ride that was tons of fun. You fly on the water doing spins and turns and all sorts of crazy tricks. It was really, really fun. Friday night has been the best night ever in Australia. Ashley and I went to Draculas. Now I was expecting something Mideval Times style, but this beat it by a thousand times. People in costumes everywhere, crazy men calling you lesbians and awesome decorations. You take the Ghost train, which is Haunted Mansion in WDW to your seat. You get scared by the one live person jumping out at you along the ride. Then theres the three-course meal, which was really good. Entertainment ensues the whole night, with the drinks a flowing. After eating the real show, Beats Of Burlesque begins. All-in-all the whole night took 5 and half hours, so well worth the money. Ashley and I were laughing the whole night, except when she looked at me and said "Hell NO" when asked if we were lesbians. No homo though haha. Once back to the hostel Doug propsed to Ashley and luckily I was there to get the moment on film. Saturday was thrilling. We had amazing pancakes in the morning before heading off to Jetski and go parasailing. It was alot of fun, driving a jetski is totally wicked. The night was fun too even though we never made it out of ouyr hostel room until now. Update you on the rest of the trip next week.
