byron Bay and Nimbin

This morning, we arrived in Byron ba after a brutal 10 hour bus ride. The bus was nearly full and we all had to double up in our seats. It was really hard to sleep and I was exhausted when we arrived! We took a long walk after we dropped our stuff at our hostle and explored the bay, a lighthouse, and the easternmost point of Australia. It was a really beautiful day out, its awesome to be up north where it is still really hot!! Its getting cooler in Wollongong now that they are moving into their fall and winter months. Then, there was a group of people taking surf lessons, but I was exhausted! So, I went back to the room and took a two hour, much needed nap! In the afternoon, I layed on the beach and went for a long run to explore. I just took a shower and got ready for our night out at Cheeky Monkeys for dinner and drinks. I'm rooming with my friends Adam, Alex, and James and they are all sound asleep. For once in my life, I'm ready early and just waiting for them to all get up! Tomorrow, we are leaving at 1030am to go to Nimbin all day for the Marty Grass festival, I heard it is supposed to be a crazy festival! It should be a really good time! Sunday, we are going sea kayaking and then headed back toSydney Sunday night. We will arrive back in Sydney sometime monday morning and then I have to get a train back to Wollongong. It was awesome last week, when we got home we had Monday off, so I could sleep all day. Unfortunately, this week, I do have class and I know I'm going to be exhausted! I am looking forward to having the weekend off next weekend to relax and study! It is much needed! I have been on the run for a month straight! Monday, I am meeting with one of the directors of my program to figure out my exam schedule and figure out my flight home. Still missin' everyone in VT...can't wait to see everyone in June!
