My Birthday!
Happy Birthday to me! I am now a big bad 17 yr. old. Haha, actually I feel no different then I did yesterday except that I made some important birthday resolutions that I am going to try very hard to live by this year. My birthday BBQ yesterday was nice. There was a good turn out and the beach was looking especially beautiful due to a full moon and a clear sky. The breeze kept blowing out my candles though. Today was a nice day too. I had tons of ppl wish me a happy birthday, got lots of hugs, a few cards & presents from friends, and my entire tourism class sang to me. Actually, my friends were going to announce my birthday to the entire school at the assembly this morning but I scared them out of it. (Don’t ask me how…) We ate tacos for dinner (I got to pick) and I got another birthday cake which was delicious and I actually got to blow the candles out this time! So all in all, I had a great birthday.
I forgot to tell you in the last entry about Saturday afternoon. Lana was at dance all day Saturday so Bree and I went to Kuranda which is a small city in the rainforest where a few of our friends live as well. We went and picked-up my good friend Lauren and then went downtown to visit the markets. The whole city was really neat because it was like walking through a jungle except there were roads and sidewalks and stuff. The best part of the day was when we went into an animal park and I got to hold a koala! We also fed kangaroos and saw some crocs, wombats, and lizards. The koala was by far my favorite, though.
I have tons of new pictures from the last week or so to upload too so I’ll do that as soon as I have a chance. Well I have some homework to do and some phone calls to make so I’m gonna go for now. Have a great day everyone! <3 Jess
