So the past few days/weeks have been pretty hectic. I've been having lab reports, papers, and photography assignments due nearly non-stop. Also, I had my first test today, a midsemester exam, for my invertebrate biology class. Needless to say I had been studying A TON for the past two days trying to cram in all of that information, because believe you me, there is sooooo much information and they want so much detail. I think the test went pretty well, actually. It was 5 short essay questions and one longer essay question. I definitely rocked 3 of the 5 short answers, one of them i had no idea about (the one question i looked at while studying and was like, ''oh, this might be on the test'' but didn't actually go over), and the other I had to semi-bullshit because I couldn't think straight, so i think that one i'll get at least partial credit. As for the longer essay, I'm pretty sure I snagged full marks.
This will be my first weekend where I don't actually have mandatory work to do that needs to be ready for monday, so i've decided to take advantage and head up to cairns with some of my buddies from GR. Unfortunately, I do have a very large research paper due next friday that i have no desire to do, but i'm trying to start it now to get it at least partially done. so far no such luck, i am tired from previous nights of studying. I know for sure it wont get done this weekend or even friday or monday, seeing as my bus leaves friday at 1am and gets back here monday at 5am. let me remind you, i have 5 hours of class straight on mondays. excellent. I will be an even more tired girl.
but anyways, I'm super excited for Cairns. We're getting in at 6am friday morning and then later in the day we've got SCUBA planned!! Cam, grant, and I are all certified and we're doing a 2 tank dive while the other kids do a beginner dive (which doesnt require cert.) and then a snorkel. Ours is only $50 more expensive, and all of our gear is included. I think it came out to $200 or $250 overall for 2 tank dive, boat charter, gear, lunch, etc. Pretty good deal! The next day we're taking a bus up to cape tribulation into the daintree rainforest and i think we're doing some tours or something and staying at this really nice rainforest cabin place. AND we're going to zipline. I am really stoked for that too!
So far that is the plan, wish me luck on the paper and I will update after what is sure to be an incredible weekend!
Have a good time in Cairnes. We're going to be heading to California for Amie's wedding this weekend, and Ashley and Grant will be driving up for it as well. Sure wish we had some more time to spend out there. I'd like to see some sights in San Francisco, or head up to the giant redwood forests. Oh, well, perhaps another time.
