was awesome! It was such an amazing weekend, the best so far. The town we were in, Gerroa, was absolutely gorgeous. There were green pastured hills with the sea facing them. It was such a small town but I wish we could have spent a couple more days there. The instructors were pretty nice and apparently really young, I heard one of them had just turned 16, ha. I got up so many times (and wiped out probably 3x as much!) and definitely felt the rush. I caught this one wave and was able to pick up so much speed that I immediately thought I must do this again! The instructors were so enthusiastic about having us continue to surf after we left the camp. They gave us advice on what type of boards to buy, how to handle a boardshop worker, how to assess the water conditions, and about the different types of waves and rips. Before the last lesson (out of four) I think everyone was sore, tired, and ready to leave but the last lesson was a blast and everyone seemed to leave on a high note, even my friend Alan who is now hobbling around on crutches after hurting his knee.
This week I have a paper due on Friday and hope to get a bunch of work done along with the paper.
On Saturday I am heading to the Blue Mtns to go canyoning down some rock faces and then a waterfall!! It's going to be amazing. I am so excited to head out to the Blue Mtns and see that area. Any day out of Sydney is a good day, don't get me wrong Sydney isn't bad- especially if you can find the right neighborhoods, but it's such a city. My Mass Media professor compared it to LA, and it didn't sound like a good thing. He likes Melbourne much more than here, he says it is more cultured and has more of a personality (though I wouldn't say that around a Sydneysider, they are huge rivals of Melbourne).
We just finished watching our favorite Australian show Good News Week, always hilarious. So now it is off to bed!
