hey. I am on stradbrook island. or as they call it here stratty. they shorten everything. Christmas is chrissy, brisbane is brissy, breakfast is breaky. It is a strange culture. No offense to Matt. Otherwise life is very good. I went scuba diving thismorning and saw sharks but htey were nice sharks that didn't want to eat me. Some of them were about 5 feet long but they seemed more interested in sleeping. i also saw clown fish hiding in anemonies which is a sight that I have waited most of my life to see. I enjoyed my self thouroghly. Besides that I have been getting trashed plaing in the waves. trashed in the injured way not the alcoholic way. The water here is warm and clear and beautiful and amazingly I have only been stung by a jellyfish once. It did hurt and it was the type that you are suposed to rinse with pure water so I didn't even have to pee on myself. I hope that everyone is well good luck with classes. Love to all. Don't hate me because I am on a subtropical island and you are all studying.
