Rain, Rain GO AWAY...and DO NOT come any other day

It is currently Wednesday September 29th here in Brisbane, Australia. Current weather: Cloudy and Rainy. Weather the previous week: Cloudy and Rainy. Forecast for weather ALL this week: Cloudy, Rainy, and Storming. So I am setting the record straight. Australia is not ALWAYS the hot and sunny country we believe it to be. An overcast sky and rain have haunted me for over a week now and are predicted to do so over our lovely spring break. But now that preconceived notions have been rectified I will move on.

The past couple of days have been rather insignificant. A lot of school work, readings, and movie watching on rainy days. Yesterday alone consisted of watching the movies: The Invention of Lying, Seven Pounds, Remember Me, Sex and the City, and Ice Age. I am not kidding. We watched all of these back to back while eating pizza, garlic bread, chocolate, fruit, and who knows what else. Today will consist of school work. I have 5 papers to complete by October 10th and will be in Melbourne the 7-11...translation: I must have my papers done by the 6th.

Fraser Island: "...is the world's largest sand island in the world. It is a lush paradise of wildflowers, rainforests, colored sand cliffs, freshwater lakes, and a vast array of wildlife." It is an 80-mile-long island situated just South of the Great Barrier Reef. I was supposed to go camping there over spring break, however, the weather there was similar to Brisbane weather. So I will be waiting to go on sunny weekend. The rest of my spring break will solely be me and my computer...WORKING. But I am attempting to like vegetables! I am determined to eat a few with every lunch and dinner...we'll see how that goes. But so far, I still think they are disgusting...acquired taste?

Only a few more days till I can start running again! Austin Marathon February 20th...AND I will not get injured before this one.
