A breath of fresh air.

As you may have guessed from the last post, the whole identity theft really threw me for a loop last week. Most fortunately, things are mostly back to normal in that respective and are certainly looking up. I was pretty busy making phone calls and dealing with the issue for a few days, but since then, it's back to normal. yay!

This past weekend was a lot of fun. A bunch of us (mostly my American friend, and just a few Aussies) decided to go ice skating at the rink nearby. I actually laughed out loud when I saw it- it was so small, and the ice was really cut up. I couldn't believe that this could be considered normal, but it totally was! It was really great though, and I had so much fun. I had my fingers crossed for not falling though- I don't think my knee would have appreciated it. Sadly, two of the Australians came with us weren't quite so good on ice as we Americans, and before the night was over, ended up with a broken wrist and a broken collarbone. We felt bad for them. Everyone else managed to stay on their feet (mostly) had a good time though!

By a stroke of luck, my friend Kiara and I happened to be awake early on Sunday morning and went down for breakfast early. It just happened our one friend was there to pick up some people to head out jetskiing for the day. He asked if we wanted to come along, and we were right on it. Who could say no to a day full of free jetskiing and beautiful Australian beaches? Definitely not me. I had so much fun riding on the jetski and tubing along behind it. It turned my entire week right around into something that actually turned out to be good. I didn't see that coming anytime soon.

I'm also trying to get back on the trip I recently canceled up to Cairns. The more I thought about it, the more it makes sense to try and go. I really want to go SCUBA diving again, and now's my only chance. Keep your fingers crossed for me! And can I just say sorry in advance for the lack of Christmas gift buying this year? I'm going to be coming home from Australia really broke, and I wouldn't have it any other way :)
