i have done THIS before, but not THAT
so we've started a 'veggie patch' here at my dorm. they cleared out a pretty sizeable area in one of our courtyards for us to grow organic vegetables and herbs.
today was our first 'event' where we had to move a giant pile of compost onto the plot. this consisted of shoveling it into a wheelbarrow, pushing this wheelbarrow up and around this crazy ramp, then dumping it and spreading it over the plot. so i of course volunteered to shovel.
now due to my archaeology days, i honed in on my digging talents and i never thought they would really come in handy... except for the time i dug a hole to find a leaky pipe for my parent's pool. but let me tell you... my shoveling skills are apparently awesome... and noticeable.
i got multiple compliments.
"wow, you're really good at shoveling"
"have you done this before?"
"your aim is amazing"
"how do you shovel so quickly?"
"you look so natural holding a shovel"
so there you go ladies and gentlemen. those 18 months of digging, filling holes, and moving dirt piles has gotten me respect.
now let's see if any vegetables will grow out of that giant amount of compost.
on another note!!
i've joined my dorm's netball team. Netball.. well.. it's like ultimate frisbee meets basketball.
it's 7 on 7, usually seen as a ladies sport, and you have a ball that resembles a soccer ball. anyway, you throw/pass it to your teammates, and once you get the ball, you can't move. no dribbling, no walking. so you catch it, and pass it off immediately.
OH! and there are zones. the court is split up into thirds. and the end thirds have semi-circles cut into them, much smaller than a basketball key, and this is the shooting area. and each position is restricted to certain areas.
my potential position, Wing Defense... i can only go in to 2 of the thirds, and not into either semi-circle.
anyway, you also have to stand 3 feet away from the opposite team. it is a non-contact sport.
ALSO! you wear little skirts like tennis skirts!
ALSO! there is no backboard! it's a pole with a hoop
it is a crazy sport, but we've had 1 practice and it was loads of fun. i just like team sports. and i like that i'm not expected to run the whole court.
other positions are called:
goal keeper
goal attack
wing attack
goal shooter
and center, of course
anyway, we have 2 more practices this week and my butt is so sore it hurts to sit. our 'coach' made us do lunges across the court. ouchies.

Day 13: Wednesday, March 26th
we wake up at 6am and my sister finishes gathering the last little bits to take home with her and my friend I. takes us to the airport. it was too early in the morning for J. to take us.
we get there in plenty of time and we sit down at the 1, count 'em 1, cafe the Canberra airport has to offer. i forget what we had, but i bet it was good, and probably mostly juice and coffee.
the three of us had a great little conversation for about 30 mins. I. talked about how pretentious Melbourne is. He gave them a special hand movement, like a hip 'come hither' movement that means "I'm from Melbourne. Look at all the cafes we have. Let's go shopping. I'm so much better than you".
and then that was it! we sent my sister through security (they didn't even bomb test her! b.s.! i get bomb tested everytime because they have nothing else to do because they never have anyone flying!) and she was off for what i'm sure was an extremely enjoyable 30 hour trip. at least she wasn't coughing up a lung anymore.
i know i was waaaayyy lame with the 2nd half of these posts! but look! i finished! and my sister and i had a great time, lots of pictures, lots of laughs, some we don't remember why we laughed, but it was there, and now we have moved on with our lives.
she's currently sick again. what is wrong with you??
and i'm currently researching at 1am in the common room of my dorm.
i have a presentation due on monday. at least i understand what is expected of me. only took my advisor 3 months to finally tell me what i'm supposed to have been doing.
a lot sure has been happening... i think. ANZAC day came and went. the bars are full at 11am on ANZAC day. it's a fun day. i started knitting again. i've started 2 scarves. one is pink and white with skinny little needles, and one is an orange mesh with huge needles. and i just learned the purl stitch and i can now make pretty designs.
my sister and i enlisted the help of our grandmother when we were in highschool to help us learn how to knit. we boought ourselves those 'learn how to' kits that Michael's makes for 8 year olds. i apparently had natural talent. my sister... well, i don't want to be rude but i think that marked one of the first times i could do something better than my sister. yeah, my knitting skills were just that good, well hers were just that bad. i never finished any knitting project, surprise surprise, but i promise i will with these scarves!
i'm gonna learn how to knit beanies, and headbands, and other easy items.
the university had a campus wide Band Night. each dorm was to enter one band into the competition. our dorm got a 2 days notice before a 2 week holiday, leaving them 1 week after holidays to practice. so with 1 actual practice under their belts, 5 of my good friends took the stage, and they rocked it. now i understand why it's cool to date someone in a band. we didn't win the competition, but we also didn't get booed off the stage, which was what we were all expecting. and i made shirts. you know i did. and they were awesome. our 'general manager' (i.e. head boss) of our dorm is named Peter Warrington... so what did the band name itself? The Peter Warrington Symphonic Powerhouse. obviously.
we all learned a new card game: 500. apparently it' sthe national card game of australia! it's basically a 4 person card game along the same lines of: hearts, spades, bridge, set back (or what was it you called that game mother? step back? step up?), arizona pitch, and the like. it's fun, addictive, competitive, and keeps us awake until 4am.
nothing else too crazy. for a month i had a great gym routine going on. i lost 10 lbs in a month! but then i got sick. today's the first day i'm actually well again. so i haven't gone in a week. BUT! since i've gone vegan again, i'm trying to be extra healthy, and 'people' say when you're sick, it's not good to rely on over the counter meds, so i went med-free. and if you know me and my immune system, usually the safest thing is to start popping all the pills i can get, but i conquered the illness with vitamins, water, soup, and sleep. i was pretty stoked.
and going vegan has been great. dairy really is satan's gift to us.
i guess that's about it! i should get back to my research. i have 5 books laid out in front of me, guess it's time to read.

Day 12: Tuesday, March 25th
we wake up at 5:30 am. we call in to hot air balloon company to check the weather report and status of flight... and WHAT?!?! IT'S CANCELLED? oh yes my friends. sure, australia's in the middle of a drought. sure it hasn't rained in canberra for the past 2 weeks. but today, today when we want to fly amongst the clouds... it is a rainy forecast.
so we went back to sleep. until 9.
we woke up, showered, and called the zoo asking if you were allowed to hold a koala. the one australian animal my sister has yet to see. apparently there is a law that in the ACT (Australian Capital Territory) (the state within Canberra lies) one cannot hold a koala. even Beyonce once got refused. so instead we thought we'd spend the rainy day patronizing all the museums.
we first took a taxi to the National Museum of Australia. i had been there once before. in my first week in Australia back in Feb of 2007 with my mother, but I figured i could stand it once more.
the museum sure is confusing, with it's layout. first of all, it has some sort of skateboarding loop-d-loop art sculpture at the entrance. it's tacky, and big, and red. the museum itself is ok. they have a stuffed platypus. and a huge nugget of gold. and i'm sure there was lots more.
so after we saw what there was to see, and browsed the gift shop, we took the bus to the City Civic Centre. and mind you... it is pooooouring.
we hit up 2 souvenir stores. oh yes parents, you have something very nice coming your way. then we ate at a little italian restaurant i've walked by many times but never stopped in at before. it wasn't too bad. i found out later one of my pretty good friends worked there all last year. i don't pay attention much to other people's lives.
next we sorta figured out the bus schedule and hopped on one to take us to the museum/old parliament district.
i made us get off the bus one stop too early, but this then gave us time to walk 4 blocks in the downpour. my sister loved it, i'm sure.
we arrived at the Canberra Art Gallery and even though we explored it for what seemed like 2 hours, we discovered we only saw half of it. this place was huge. but by this time our legs were aching, we were soaking, and thought it was time to head home.
we grabbed our coats and bags from the bag-check man... who stuffed them in a cubby and hung our coats on top of each other... so thank goodness there was no drying of the items was possible.
we exited the building... and were both very confused on where the closest bus stop was. we found an abandoned one. and stood for a few seconds wondering what direction we should go in... when we saw a bus pulling up to a stop around the corner. so we ran. ran fast. in the ran. we rain ran.
AND THEN when we tried to purchase our bus ticket from the bus driver he offered us the bargain student price, which every other bus driver had failed to mention! we could have saved about 5 bucks!!
so we returned home, showered, and hung out for a bit. and that's when the clouds disappeared and the weather was beautiful.
we went out with my friend J for dinner at Wagamama. it made my sister very happy. she even got to buy an Australian Wagamama shirt!
and i've found it tradition here in canberra, that when a guest comes to visit, they must be taken to Mount Ainsley. i've been there a few times now. and i guess it's nice. you get a view over the entire city... and its suburbs. i guess the way the War Memorial and Parliament are lit at night, it is very nice to see. but really folks, that's all there is to see of canberra from atop a mount. anyway, we went at J's behest and my sister got to see canberra lit up at night.
then we returned back to my dorm and it was movie nite! all of my friends and plenty of others had gathered in the common room to watch 'cool runnings'. my friends D and I came over to talk to us in the back, and something funny was said so my sister and i laughed our very infamous quiet laughs, when we got unanimously shushed.. and my sister replied rather loudly with "what? this movie's really funny!!" which made me bust out a guffaw and i angered the crowd even more. while my friends wanted to take my sister out for a drink, we had plans of packing and sleeping. which we followed through on.
we did have to wake up at 6am for her early flight, so we knew sleep was the best choice.
i do have a few pics from today's entry, but i'm on my office computer and not my laptop, so i'll have to upload those pictures later. and one is of my sister singing at the bus stop. she did it more than once.

Day 11: Monday, March 24th
(i posted twice tonite because i've been way behind and we didn't do much on Day 10)
we woke up, rested, packed, and "explored Airlie Beach again!". which really meant we got our bagels and cream cheese, read, and sat out by the lagoon waiting for our bus to take us to the airport. a very expensive bus. i finished my book "The last Juror" and returned it for 4 bucks to the book trading store. niiice.
we caught our bus, along with a couple other backpackers, and a barefoot homeless man who "snuck" on. the bus eventually dropped him off a few stops later because he didn't have a ticket.
we got to the tiny tiny 2-gate airport which has departing guests sit outside. we found some shaded seats and read some more.
we arrived in Brisbane for our layover on the way to Canberra and found more pizza to eat. seriously, all they know how to make vegetarian is cheese. my sister tried a chocolate bar called 'cherry ripe' and thought it was gross. we realized we're going to get in late to Canberra (and anytime after 5pm mostly everything is closed) so i'm frantically texting friends trying to find someone to go get us wagamama so we can have it for dinner (for the 3rd time).
we arrived in Canberra at about 9:30 i believe, got our bags, and our taxi, and got to my dorm room. i wrote down that we laughed, but i don't know why.
Since it was a holiday weekend Wagamama 'ran out of food' so my friend R couldn't fulfill our dreams, but he did buy us pasta, pasta sauce, and vegetables, so that was our dinner. and it was yums.
as we walked to my room, my friend J had been hiding and she jumped out and i screamed like a girl. a loud adult girl.
my sister and i had our dinner, watched 'the west wing', checked e-mail, and passed out.
another exciting non-stop day for us girls! we like our cheese and our sleep.
we have to wake up tomorrow at 5:30am for hot air ballooning! so no late-nite partying for us!

Day 10: Sunday, March 23rd
we woke up at a reasonable hour and checked out and had our bags hang out in the luggage area while we enjoyed our morning on the beach. we started off by signing up for tube rides. we only had to wait an hour or so, so we read on the beach in the meantime. then it was time to get tubed. we were stupid and didn't have the person in the boat watching us to make sure we didn't die take pictures of us... but we won't forget it! we sat in blow-up tubes and were attached by rope to a back of a speed boat. then we were taken on a crazy ride around the harbor area for about 15 minutes. our butts vibrated a lot. but we didn't fall out! and we laughed and screamed a lot and bumped into each other that made each other go flying across the jet boat waves. it was totally awesome. then we kayaked a bit and had lunch. a veggie burger with fries. mmm.
we got on the ferry that was to take us back to Airlie Beach. we made it back to mainland just in time before it started to pour. we got our bus from shute harbor to airlie beach where the crazy old bus driver said we couldn't board, but apparently he was just being old and gross and flirting. i never find those jokes funny. like i'm supposed to know you are kidding, arse.
we got dropped right off in front of our hostel, our check in went fine, and we were pointed in the direction of our room. it was definitely at least a 5 minutes walk across the hostel grounds.
the room was nice with a tv, a rather large kitchen area, and a fairly big bathroom (with a BRIGHT YELLOW toilet).
we placed our stuff out to dry on our balcony, but it was raining, so that didn't really work. we eventually trekked off in said rain and of course found a pizza place and had more cheese. we were surrounded by dozens of backpackers drinking pitchers of beer, but my sister and i had our pizza and pasta and water. on our way back to the hostel we stopped in a few souvenir stores but didn't find anything too exciting. we then spent the rest of our nite in our hostel watching kitchen nightmares and reading.
and that was pretty much our day. we are still burnt.

Day 9: Saturday, March 22nd
Today was our day of leisure! we started off the morning by applying new layers of aloe followed by sunscreen. at about 9am we went to go read in the shade. laying in hammocks and under thatched umbrellas. we wanted to enjoy the beach, but our skin couldn't handle more sun exposure :(
BUT a baby wallaby came out to join us! he was just hopping around, munching on leaves, right in the middle of the action, and was adorable. my sister was afraid if she got too close he'd jump away, but he hung out long enough for us to take probably 300 pictures of him. and the ugly bush turkeys. and those crazy long-legged birds.
we went to the cafe for lunch, and every vegetarian item maily consisted of cheese. we settled for nachos, and felt way gross afterwards. even tho they were slightly better than those of the tex mex restaurant in Airlie Beach, they were still odd.
we then played some ping-pong and then it was time for the daily 4:45 bird feeding!
we went over to find a small group of people smearing some sort of oatmeal substance on their hands and dozens of rainbow-colored birds (i don't do well with identification of birds) chomping away. my sister got right in the middle of it and soon she had her own bird posse clamping on her arms and nibbling of her hands... and resting on her head. one lady got bird poop on her shoulder. it was funny. then we saw an adult wallaby!
the island, Long Island, boasts of multiple nature walks, so we thought we should do something active (other than ping-pong) and we chose the path named Humpy Point. we saw it was getting darker, but it was only a 600 meter walk, so we thought we'd be ok. we were both wearing sandals and some areas of the "track" was muddy, but we made it through. and we saw another wallaby! we got to the end... and it was just... a dead end. no amazing view, no photo op, just a dead end of a wall of some rocks... and if you tried hard you could look through the trees to see a neighboring island... but that was about it. we turned back and then the sun started to go down. and it got dark. very very dark. and we were in some fairly thick "bush". but we finally got back and no scary bush animal attacked us! hooray!
so now it was dinner time, and we returned to the cafe to order some of the pizza they have on their menu... but they don't do pizza for dinner! say whaaa?? so we had more nachos. barfola.
and we sat next to a group of middle-aged women out on the patio area who thought it was funny to feed those long legged birds. even though those birds were annoying, and loud, and fairly aggressive, these stupid women kept feeding them until the cafe worker came out and tried to shoo the birds away. those women were stupid. and loud. and tacky.
then we went to bed early and didn't move while we let the aloe vera work its magic.
