Surprise!

As everyone who knows me I HATE SURPRISES! But for once I loved this surprise! I have the most amazing friends here in Australia! They threw me a surprise birthday party on friday! It was so nice of them to do this for me! Basically my entire study abroad program was there and some of our friends from Australia! It was such a great night! They even made me a pink birthday cake with a ballerina candle =] they know me oh so well!
Yesterday we were up bright and early to go to the South Coast for the day with AIFS. It was nice to see everyone again after my party. We went to the Kiama blow hole again which was cool. We went to Jervis Bay which was absolutely beautiful and it is said that they have the whitest sand in the world! We had a delicious lunch then made our way to this place where people actually live off the land in tribes. It was amazing to see that even today people still live that way. They showed us around through the bush and saw where they pick their food. I tasted wild cherries and even a bush lime! We then learned how to throw boomerangs! I was terrible at it but I can say that I threw a boomerang in Australia which is pretty cool! We then tasted homemade bread and green tea which was good. We then got on the bus and made our way back to uni stopping on the way at Fitzroy Falls. It was this beautiful waterfall in what seemed like the middle of nowhere! After the scenic stop we had a long drive back to Macquarie where we had a much needed relaxing night.
This week flew by! With going back to classes and a blacklight party it doesn't seem like a whole week has gone by. This week will be pretty lowkey because I am going to Melbourne with Mara from saturday to monday! I am pretty excited because we booked this months ago and we are going to Phillip Island to see the little penguins!! Of course we will do some much needed shopping and sightseeing too! Just have to get through this upcoming week first!
