Hey!
I had an interesting weekend, which mostly revolved around a lovely little asthma attack on Friday night. And, me being me, I forgot to bring an inhaler to Australia and procrastinated on getting one. So I had to recover the hard way, with sitting up, water, and eventually a hot shower. I was up all night.
Even with a good day's sleep, four hours of not breathing leaves you a little bit exhausted. Instead of the afternoon out I was planning for yesterday, I bought the inhaler (which, of course, was cheap and didn’t require a prescription) for and then sat at the library on my computer all evening. My dad asked me for photos of campus, so I took a few.
Today, I was feeling 100% again, so I decided that I could reschedule my adventure day. Sundays are the best day to travel in Sydney because they put a $2.50 cap on public transit. And that’s for the day, not per ride. The forecast said rain, but not until evening, so I decided to spend my afternoon at the beach again. This time, I took advantage of the cheap travel and went far. Cronulla Beach is at the end of the train line, about an hour from where I live.
The beach was really long, and I walked along it for about half an hour. I started a small sandy area full of swimmers and sunbathers, but next to that was a rocky shore. The water eroded holes into the rocks, which were perfectly round and quite deep. I had to watch where I stepped, lest I soak one of my sneakers by accident. I managed to avoid that and also didn’t fall on the slipperier rocks. But I was pretty glad I didn't bring my camera because with my coordination, it would probably be in pieces on those rocks right now.
And now it’s time for another round of Pictures from the Beach!
I hope you enjoyed looking at those pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them (though I don't know if the satisfaction of taking a halfway decent picture can be felt secondhand. Let me know in the comments if you had some otherworldly experience with my photos).
Next time I shout into my lovely little corner of the void, it will be Passover and I’ll be in New Zealand! I’m still not sure if I’ve totally processed the fact that I’m actually on a semester abroad, even though it’s been 7 weeks since I was last in the US. The semester is nearing its halfway point and I feel like there’s so much I still haven’t done, but I’ve got well over 2 months left here in Australia.
