Well, some of you must have noticed my silence for the last two days, so I guess I should tell you what I've been up to. Following on from Pat's comment cursing me for being finished, here's the events you should be cursing me for.
Starting with the END of my EXAMS at 11:23 on monday morning, I spent the afternoon playing Kingdom Hearts II, a game which is pure awesome but sadly not very challenging, and then it was off to Mahya's Birthday party at Cactus Jack's Palmer Street. After a few hours of gorging and socialising, it was off to the clubs! Molly Malone's was great once we'd convinced the DJ to play decent music. Kurt, you will be interested to know that they played sexyback. No-one else will be, but you will.
Made my way home at about 2am and went to sleep for about 8 hours before it was time to get up and catch a ferry with some other med students off to Maggie. We stayed at X-base, spent the afternoon lazing on the beach/rock-climbing/taking photos, before the crew from Getaway turned up and the full-moon party (despite it only being a half-moon) got into full swing. Sadly no amount of bribing/begging/getting-sophia-to-dance-and-flirt-with the DJ could make him play anythign anywhere near decent, so we spent most of the night stealing the free McK bourbon they were handing out. It tastes like rubbish, but it was free rubbish. Unfortunately it was being handed out by one of those girls who....you know those girls who hand out free stuff? The ones where the job interview is "What's your name" and to be successful they have to giggle 8 times, twirl their hair and smile while saying it? Well she was handing them out, and everytime we went to get one she yelled "What's it's called???" in the tones of someone failing dismally to appear cool to the youth market. Think a cheerleader spouting "Make-up-your-own-mind" ads and you'll have an idea of what we went through, and why we stopped drinking the free stuff. She wasn't a very generous cheerleader either; only gave you a mouthful per free cup. I gave up on alcohol and went back to coke.
Eventually the free-alcohol-and-in-my-case-coke-induced sugar rush brought us to the beach where we sat singing loudly trying to drown out the dodgy DJs music. I amazed everyone with my knowledge of every part of Bohemian Rhapsody, before making our way back and killing time until 2, when we went to bed.
Finally left the island at 11:15 this morning, after sleeping through all of the earlier ferries, missing the bus and eating far too much cold rock than is good for us. Thus was one of the greatest two-day holidays ever finished, and all the exam stress I'd managed to build in the last 3 weeks completely obliterated.
We should really try this sometime guys! Next on the agenda though: Laura's Party!!! See you all there!

pffft, you think med people know how to party? You OBVIOUSLY didn't stay with us on schoolies.
P.s would've been nice to know where you were considering we (being kt and I) thought you dropped off the edge of the planet (we didnt guess maggie island funnily enough) or were suffering from med brain meltdown-itis.
COngrats on finishing!!! Sounds like you had a blast! i hope you bring your new-found-stress- free partying skills to lauras!
Until then enjoy your break from uni!
I"m so jealous. And now you drink alcohol too. careful, satan is just around the corner. But sounds like heaps of fun.
