Land Down Under

Blogspot is working again!

I don't know what it was doing this morning, but it wasn't cooperating. But now it is so everything's good.

I realized this morning that I had forgotten to post the pictures from the Booze Cruise online, so I just put them up now. Tomorrow night is the Guy/Girl Pub Crawl, and the theme for the girls is Desperate Housewives. Any suggestions on what to wear from people who actually have seen the show would be greatly appreciated.

Today I'm spending the rest of the day doing my biology activity about Australia's arid zone....which is one third of the continent. Only Antarctica is drier than Australia is. That's your random Australia lesson of the day. I admit, it's not quite as fascinating as the triops or the Antichinus lesson, but hey, that's what I'm learning today, so you get to suffer with me. Just be happy you don't actually have to give behavioral characteristics for desert frogs, dunnarts, scorpions, and marsupial moles that help them survive in the desert.

I'm pretty excited for next week's trip to Cairns! Everyone here who has been there keeps telling me and Mel that it's the most amazing place ever. I'm going to look into either renting an underwater camera or buying this new "scuba diving disposable camera" that's supposedly like those little cameras you can buy for snorkeling, only it gets good, clear pictures down to 60 feet. Either way, I most definitely want to take pictures of the reef. Anyway, I can spend time thinking about the reef and the rainforest some other day; today I must get back to the desert!
