Hey all,
been a while again since the last post so i do apologise massively! just been settling in to australian life. i recently rented a house with a friend from koh tao (Tom) whos also an instructor, its a pretty sweet house, its ment for 7 people but right now its just me and him, and its a 10 min cycle from campus so its easy as anything to get around.
Me tom ross and steve all became pretty tight friends and go out alot. during O week we went to the riverside tavern where ross has now smashed not 1 but 2 of my beer glasses. outrageous.
there have been many drinking fiasco's over the last few weeks pretty much all surmounting in someone we know sending a "drunk text" to someone of the opposite gender. we now refer to this as doing a ross.... go figure. lol.
i introduced the game of shazam out here and so now everyone plays that. steve nailed ross for pointing out some random girl had rather large boobs, so fair play to ross he went and told her exactly that.. and miraculously didnt get slapped.
we bought bikes to cycle around on and i dont know whats wrong with australian bikes but the handle bars keep falling off, which isnt fun on a round about.
oh and pretty much ever animal in this country wants to kill you! tom was viciously attacked by a bird ahaha.
its been pretty difficult to find diving work around here, it doesnt fit well around a full week of lectures, but im trying to get something on a weekend live aboard boat, but its not looking too likely, so it could be a case of working in donut king for a year BAD TIMES. oh well.
we had our first rugby training session for the fisher sheild (which is an inter-college cup at jcu) it was really good fun, about a quarter of the people had never seen a rugby ball and called rucks scrums lol. but it was a great laugh. although i got my hand stood on and dislocated some fingers.. again =/
sorry that my keeping in touch is completely speradic and poor but ill try and get into a routine!!!
me and tom kitted out the house with 1.4 meter lava lamps and massive bean bags, and a £150 bass sound system, so thats all pretty sweeeeeeet. acceept thats what we spent all our money on so now we just live of ham and cheese toasties.. good times.
anyway, i miss you all so much, hit me up!
big love
Ro
