My friend Beth and her friend Chris came over for dinner last night and we sat around and talked for a bit before going to see In Bruges. During the course of the conversation, Beth asked about our living situation next year and after a bit of a discussion it was decided that she would live with us when we get back to DU. I am really excited about this because it means that I don't have to find someone random when I get back to school and I know I'll really like who I'm living with. As much as I'm loving Australia, I'm also really excited to get back to Denver and my life there. Anyway, we went to see In Bruges last night (I dragged Jordan along). It was really good! I was quite impressed. It's a little bit hard to describe because it was both funny and very sad. The humor for the most part was very politically incorrect, but nonetheless, quite funny. Jordan liked the movie too. Shocking. All in all, it was a really great night and I had a lot of fun.
When we got back I called my dad to chat and let him know that we had found a 3rd roommate and we ended up getting around to talking about my New Zealand trip in a couple of weeks. He was trying to explain to me how to configure my camera so that there would be higher pixel definition so when I blow the pictures up they won't look funny. As he's explaining this I'm fiddling with my camera, which I know very little about (obviously), and discovered that my camera has all these setting that I didn't know about! It has a mode for fireworks and a panorama assist mode. Both of those would have been quite helpful in the recent past. In any case, I'm really happy I figured it out before I take off for spring break.
Next weekend Jordan, Chris, Beth, and I are going to the Glasshouse Mountains to do some hiking. The mountains are old volcanic formations and have a link to the mainland aboriginal people. It should be a good time and I'm sure there will be lots of pictures.
After next weekend we have just one more week before spring break in New Zealand! I'm getting really excited about this trip! It's going to be such a good time and I'm certain it will produce many fabulous photos. The week after we get back from New Zealand my mom and sister will be here and we're going up to Cairns to do some diving. After about a month of not doing too much, it's looking like the rest of my time here is going to be pretty packed with adventures!
Also, Beth and her sister Becca are going to be taking a trip to Fiji in November. I'm hoping to join them, provided I still have any money. Anyone wishing to donate for this cause should shoot me an email. :)
Love and miss you all!
