Catching up

The weather has been in the 60s for the past 2 or so weeks, and rained for at least 3/4 of it. Needless to say, we have been spending a lot of time inside, working on homework, watching movies, and some playing cards.
Over the weekend, some of the group did their final Australia traveling- Melbourne (*pronounced Melbin), Uluru, and Cairns. About half the students were gone. On Friday, Jake and I went to use our Free dive from the Open Water scuba diving course. Because of the rain and stinky weather, the waves were so big we could not get the boat out safely. It really made me nervous but we were able to reschedule for Sunday.
Saturday we volunteered for the Lennox Rugby Tourney.
Sunday, we went for the dive and I was able to buy a underwater camera to get some of the marine life in action. AS soon as we got in the water we saw a huge sea turtle, and just sat by him for a few minutes. After a while we swam through a shark area, for about 10 minutes we were passing 1 or 2 sharks everywhere we went. Don't worry, they weren't huge. I got a lot of pictures of the turtle, sharks, fish and coral but my camera ran out JUST before we saw two HUGE sting rays swim by. I will get the camera developed soon.
When we came home there was a great sunset over Lake Ainsworth.
THe guys have really been into fishing out in the ocean, so Jake & Dr Avila go out and fish probably 2 or 3 nights per week. So I got a few pictures of him doing that!
This weekend we are going to Brisbane, we are going to go to John Deer to talk to the marketing department, Steve Irwin/Australia Zoo, Scream World (theme park), and the Gold Coast. We are all pretty excited to go but it just means that out time here is coming to an end...
