Long, Long dayy

My hand deserves a medal after the amount of writing it suffered today. In my first day of the Environmental  management class we wrote notes off of slideshows from 9am-noon. After three hours I understood all of the info., but the main point seemed to be USA lacks efficiency when it comes to producing products, reducing pollution and conservation of the earth's natural elements in our everyday lifestyles.

At 1:40pm, Adelle, Gabby and I were suppose to wait for one of our tour guides Brandon, outside of the apartments to take us on the train and to the hockey field to meet our coach and practice for the first time. At 2pm and still no Brandon, we decided to find our own way with some basic directions. About 20 paces later, Brandon came running toward us and rushed us on the next train out of Bondi Juntion toward Town Hall station. He told us that the reason he was late was because when he was leaving one of our teacher's homes, he witnessed a lady get robbed and he was a witness that the police wanted to talk to.

After getting off at Town Hall Station, in a panic we ran up and down platforms trying to find the train to take us to Maquarie University stop. This train ride was a good 30 minutes and crossed over the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We finally got off at our station and we had five minutes before our session was suppose to start. We treked up huge hills with our goalie bags in tow and passed countless intersections until Brandon called another coordinator and found out we were suppose to get off at Maquarie Park and not Maquarie University.

We finally reached the field sweating and 15 minutes late when we met our coach Ziek. I'm not going to walk you through the practice but I will definitely say it was a day spent dusting off the goalie pads since I hadn't played since April. Next Tuesday we were invited to practice and play with the mixed boys and girls team that Ziek coaches, which should be pretty fun after seeing some of his athletes hit the ball around today on their day off.

Tomorrow I'm going to hit the 6:15am spin class again and then head to the beach with Gabby and anyone else who wants to go afterward. We are going to go to Bondi Beach again, but this time we are going to rent surfboards and spend the day surfing and shopping around the area. Tomorrow night we all have to get dolled-up and get the opportunity to go to this party at the Sydney Museum where everyone will be in tuxedos. We are suppose to have our Aussie class, but they said this is a rare opportunity that we just happen to get the chance to be apart of.

More tomorrow, have a great day and good night.

Love,

ME
