Tuesday is my busy day of classes but in between I had to pick up gear for my Western Australia trip - the backpack is smaller, which is sad. I also checked out STA (student travel assoc.) for backpacking trips up north but no such luck! In the evening I bought my tickets for my Sydney trip in October so I was pretty pumped. I made myself got to bed early so I could wake up for my first Whitley girl's soccer game - apparently I made the team even though I couldn't make any of the trainings because of class!
Wednesday came too soon and in no time we were out warming up for the game - who plays soccer at 6:30 am??? Anyway we ended up losing 0-2 but I think we put up a good fight - IH (International House - another college) had a pretty strong front so we were lucky to have a good goalie. I didn't play near as bad as I thought and only completely embarrassed myself once when I chose to be indecisive about taking a chest ball or header and ended up using my face - oops. After a quick breakfast I headed to class. My boss called me off today so I decided to go for another bike ride after lunch instead of being worthless in my room. I headed out to pick up the Yarra Trail where I left it off at the Yarra Bend Park - as the trail continues it heads into the suburbs of Melbourne and the area became beautiful! I saw some new birds and even an Echidna! I saw a lot of those blue-tongued skinks basking in the warm sun - but no snakes :o( Unfortunately I had turn around before too long so I could make my 5 pm class - which I was late to anyway - oops again. After class and a late meal it was back to homework for the evening before calling it a night.
