Good Friday Boat Cruise

One of the most noticeable benefits of attending Australian Catholic University is that they take the Easter holiday very seriously. No class Friday or Monday means a much longer weekend than I would be having at the U. Really though, all of Australia takes Easter very seriously, which means no work either and a couple extra days off! They really go all out here - an Easter parade, Easter-themed ads like crazy (I'd be a disappointing Advertising major if I didn't notice and comment on it!) and much more. Truthfully, my roommates and I are just pretty excited to buy some discounted Easter candy Monday morning!

The last couple weeks have been exhausting - lots of middle of the night Skype sessions combined with a busy schedule - so the past couple days have been mostly about relaxing. Julie and I stayed in Thursday night and watched Lucky Number Slevin [I've really been getting a movie education here], and I spent Friday lounging around watching Game of Thrones. I'm officially addicted.

Friday night basically everyone in our program bought tickets to a Good Friday Boat Cruise, as almost everywhere in the city is closed for the holiday. We all had a great time hanging out together for the night!

I took this morning to catch up on my sleep, and we're all hanging around the apartment right now. Today is Tim's 21st birthday, so we're planning on going out for a nice dinner tonight and seeing where the evening takes us - but celebrating is a must!

Tomorrow, Julie and I are going to walk from Bondi Beach to Coogee Beach, and we all might be going to church for Easter.

Cheers, until next time!
