Midterm/beach/class/pack

I woke up this morning and had to take my midterm for my Leadership class. I worked on this all morning and then skyped with my family! I got to see my mom, nat, ky, lily, brandon, and lauren---then I skyped nina and john-----yeah family day!!!
It was very sunny and warm today so I had to go out to the beach for a little bit. It was nice and breezy which helped with the sun beating down. Right as I was about to go in---I had this dog charge me---legitimately charge and push me back down to my towel, get sand all over me!!! I couldn't believe the owner did stop her dog---and that hurt too besides being all sandy.
I went back to my cabin to pack for Fiji, finish the rest of my homework, go to a part of the Event Mgt class and then it was off to Gold Coast. John Mills thankfully drove the group of us--Misha, Colin C, Abby, and Austin to Coolagatta Airport where I hired(rented) a car and then drove to the Brisbane Airport!
Abby, Colin, Misha, Austin, and I left for the Gold Coast at 7:45PM with John Mills who was so kind to drive us to the Coolangatta Airport, about an hour away where I would rent a car and drive to Brisbane Airport. The car I rented was from Hertz and it was a hot blue 2010-11 Ford Falcon XR6. It was a sweet car to say the least! I drove with mapquest directions and only had to make 2 u-turns--not too shabby. I think with the rain, traffic, driving from the right side, on the left side of the road, I did fairly well. We arrive at the airport at 9:15PM, gaining an hour of Daylight savings time. We found a nice lounge by the rental cars, Austin fell asleep, but the rest of us played some card games--Egyptian ratscrew. Then we all got tired and joined Austin on the couches--these couches were perfect size to lay on and we had enough to all get our own. It did make me kind of nervous to leave my stuff there and fall asleep so I kept waking up every hour or so to check our bags. It was freezing though--there was a cold draft the entire time where we slept--I pulled a towel out of my suitcase to use--my first experience sleeping in an airport..not my last tho!
