Yes i am finally back and i am so awfully tired! the net is also awfully slow and i wont be able to upload the photos until the net is fast again. The net usually goes fast during the 28th =.= but umm it doesn't seem to have happened!! which is pretty annoying. Anyways it seems to be even more slower than it was before i went to queensland, so yes its quite painfully slow.
Queensland was quite alright! it was so warm there!! when we got there it was like so nice but then it got abit hot. But still so nice. LOL. Anyways the trip there was very restless. Cherry talked ALOT and she kept getting overexcited and ended up talking extremely loudly, to the point where it was quite embarrassing and we had to quieten her down. We stopped quite alot! and we changed drivers once we got to queensland aswell.
First stop was Brisbane and we saw LINDA! dundun! who happened to be in the non-existent queensland band LOL so yes she joined us. Then we paraded through the streets of Brisbane and into their chinatown, i have to say there was barely any people walking around. Unlike sydney where there are flocks of people trampling the streets day and night, Brisbane was considerably emptier.
Then we got to eat!! the queensland people were so nice they got all these steamed buns for us and they were really nice, i wanted more! i ate 2 LOL. They had LOADS and said that it was enough for everyone to have 3. The buns each had their own little bag and there was one bubbler in the park and no-one had water so this whole fad started with people putting water into their bags and drinking it. We called it the "water in the bag" fad. Then the queensland people came with more boxes! and they contained bottled water =.=. And they also got us mandarins! so nice the queensland people, unlike in melbourne we almost died of hypothermia.
Next stop was sunnybank which is the like the cabramatta of queensland. There was pretty much the same amount of people, meaning not much. They had alot of asian restraunts and stuff. We stood and played and then we were shipped off again! LOL
This time we went to GOLD COAST! WOOT! it was quite nice there, the sea breeze. There were kids everywhere playing on the kiddies equipment. Cherry and i noticed that their kiddie equipment was SO MUCH MORE BETTER THAN OURS in sydney! they had like this train thing that circled around all of the kiddie equipment (there was alot) and you would sit on it and pedal it and yeah it just looked so fun! but unfortunately we are too old and it would be sad if we hopped on. =(. They also had this see-saw thing but unlike the sydney ones which just bounce about and reach only 1m high this one was like 2.5 metres high! and it looks so cool! yes we were quite amused.
After gold coast we came back home to sydney! syyydneyy woots. The bus we had this time was nicer than the one from last week and we also had this asian driver and unlike the driver last week people didn't have to talk to him to keep him awake which is good because the talking keeps everyone else awake too.
I'm hungry.
I have to say the other cities in australia (that i have been to, which is all but perth) are all pretty empty compared to sydney which i don't mind because i like alot of people everywhere! haha more SAFE!
photos will be uploaded when the net is fast again!

Off to Queensland we go!
Yes once again i am off to queensland because the band is playing in gold coast at 3 places or something. Anyways! so i am off tonight again on bus and i shall return on sunday, a zombie. LOL
Today was FINALLY FRIDAY!
*hurrah-ish!*.
First was art and yes i had to bludge my way through, trying to pretend i was doing something. The teacher IS OH SO ANNOYING! she is really starting to get on my nerves, she speaks fast and in an alarmed wonderous way like a little kid. "what are you doing? should u be doing this? well how about u do some theory if ur not doing anything?" and she says that all in the span of 3 seconds and its quite fast! taking 1 second per sentence!
Second was english and we spent it watching strictly ballroom. Well not really. The teacher paused it at every frame! literally every frame! and he would analyse that frame like a photograph! by the end of the period we had literally only watched 7 minutes of the movie and written 2 pages of notes. And it was probably more like 5 minutes of it because of the fact that there was credits and stuff at the start. It was quite good as we were able to get so many useful techniques out of it! WOOOTS!! Jess kept being drowsy because of hayfever and almost fell asleep but then I shook her. LOL. *EARTHQUAKE IN JESSWORLD* LOL yerp.
Then it was ancient and the sheet flooding began. I think we got 2 today, one was thick. So yes. Zahra who was visiting took advantage of her visit and stole some sheets, but she claims the teacher gave it to her! Then we just chatted amongst ourselves about ... i can't remember what but it was quite amusing.
Last was economics and i am proud to say that I PASSED! i may have just passed but the fact of the matter is that i passed and i had seriously thought i wouldn't because i was so dead that day! anyways i got 51% WOOOTS!! it may not be a good mark but all i wanted was to pass and so i am happy. Yes annie is pleased and is now able to live on without thoughts of suicide. LOL!! jokes. We were also bombarded with sheets in eco, all of which we were told to read, i feel as thought it is like wide reading but um not very wide as its all on the one topic and endlessly boring. Oh eco is starting to get me down. Its to depressing! knowing that a depression could happen anytime now and that poor people are everywhere and standards of living and what not crap. Though that may be for some people but not for me i just think its depressing because of the fact I AM NOT DOING FANTASTIC IN IT!
anyways and that was my day and i will be heading to queensland soon which is supposedly going to be raining all weekend so THATS JUST GREAT! =.= can't take decent photographs!!! i will however TRY.
