It was an early morning without the best sleep last night. Linda and I stopped at the bakery to get some bread for breakfast while a few others stopped at McDonald's. We all met at the tourist info where we were able to store our extra bags free while gone. We had to be at the harbour by 7:45 and the guy at the info said we would be late so we hurried down there and waited till 8am anyway before we saw anyone. Before we boarded we all had to pay a marine park...

Happy Birthday Mark! I got ready and finished packing; I fit everything in my backpack minus 1 or 2 things I put in my beach bag, I was very proud of myself. We met at the UniCentral gate at 11:30 to catch the 11:45 bus to Alexandra Headlands where we met our shuttle that took us to the Brisbane airport.

I came back here and checked airline prices of Sydney and Whitsunday. It...

The class was really empty since it is at 2pm before a holiday. I was hoping Whitney and Richard would be there so I could see them before break but they w...

I was up and at the library again by 8:15. Not fun. I did manage to get my paper done and finalize my presentation all by 2pm! I was pretty impressed with myself. I went back to my apartment even though I could have started on a few things that are due after break. I ate lunch and watched TV for a while before I got bored.
