We gotta go, hide your forehead.

I can't believe we only have two more weeks of classes. Time flies.

My money seems to be disappearing at an alarming rate, so this weekend I decided to take it easy with the spending. Thursday night all the girls went out but I chose to stay in and get some R&R. Fell asleep watching The Sopranos, it was great.

Friday night, Abby and I went to a Bond University sponsored event called Grapes, Hops and Jazz. I love jazz and it sounded like something different to do. We got all dressed up and a bus came and took us to the Watermark Hotel in Surfers. There was an open bar and a 5-piece jazz band. After that we went to Surfer's a bar hopped for awhile, and met a really interesting guy from New Zealand in Subway.

Saturday me and the roommates rented a car and drove to Byron Bay and Nimbin. Being in a car again felt so nice. We all took turns driving (mine was limited to the parking lot because my driving isn't for the faint of heart). Byron was lovely as ever and the drive to Nimbin was gorgeous since we were out in the country. Nimbin itself was a lot smaller and creepy then I thought it would be. One of the hippies there sexually harrassed me and Ilana and I don't know, the whole vibe of the town didn't sit well with me.

We drove home and only got slightly lost, and then ate some Nimbin products and went to bed. Sunday we returned the car and just bummed around. We ate some more Nimbin producs which did not fare well for me later that night and the next day, but it was definitely an experience.

I'm starting to feel like I've gotten as much out of the Gold Coast as I'm going to get. I really wish I knew that Bond would be 50% Americans. I really haven't met any cool Aussies. I'm just ready to go to Melbourne, Whitsundays and New Zealand, and then home.

I'm also going to Italy in May, which I'm beyond excited. Don't get me wrong, I'm still very grateful to be here in Australia, but I'm sick as hell of the Gold Coast.
