I decided to take a break from the weekend travels and chill here in Cleveland. I ended up getting invited sailing though and it was awesome! Despite having absolutely no wind for the first half the day, it picked up a bit after lunch and we got to raise the sails. I steered! And seeing that I am on here and not in a significant amount of debt, I didn't run into anything or sink the boat. Score. It was really fun though. It's a little freaky when it feels like its just going to fall sideways into the water since you are leaning so far over. Anyways, the boat was really nice, rather large too (10m) and could sleep like 8 people if you squeezed 2 on each bed-type surface. The skipper was really awesome too, he had tons of stories of all his travels. The boat club we went to is apparently one of the most exclusive boat clubs in the area, oOOoOo. We went to get drinks afterwards and everyone (except us) was really dressed up and fancy, we were a little out of place. It was funny. Definitely a good day. :)
This week has been pretty good. I'm into week 8, ahhhhh. Only a couple left. I was supposed to start the reproduction work this week (again) but it still hasn't happened, HOPEFULLY tomorrow and Friday then a bit my last week here or something. I don't know, I'm not holding my breath at this point anymore though. I've started a bit of the growth model fitting and it seems to be going well. Shane did it all really quickly on whatever program he has but he is having me go through the long hand way. Not too bad actually and for some reason I find it interesting and exciting. Whats wrong with me? Haha.
I went to go see Toy Story 3 last night with a few co-workers. SO GOOD! So you better go see it, it's not very often that sequels can live up to the previous movie, much less as the 3rd one. We went to an Indian restaurant beforehand that was really good. Haven't had Indian in awhile, except for the lame excuse in a packet that I used for dinner one night. Obviously I haven't improved too much with my cooking or my will to cook for that matter.
The rest of this week should be rather chill. Still swimming a bit to get ready for the competition on Sunday but I’m still really out of shape. Owell, hopefully it will be fun! I was thinking of going to North Stradbroke Island this weekend for a couple days (if I took Friday off) but the weather looks like crap and I figured I could use a couple extra days of swimming. I will need all the ‘training’ I can get. :)
Fun Fact:
-School outfits here = epically stylish. Complete with grandma shoes, pleated skirts/pants, names on shirt pockets, sunbonnets (male and females), knee high socks and matching bags. REALLY glad I didn’t have uniforms in the US.
Really cool clouds all day
Sails up!
The extra pretty sail
The harbour, there were literally thousands of boats. So huge!
