Gread Ocean drive

Having been sick almost for the whole week; staying in my room, but being unable to study. My last half of mid semester break was sadly nothing. Uni starts tomorrow again.

But I had last minutes' fun with my neighbours; Four of us from 11th floor, Nathan, Samantha, Brian and I hit the road and made a day trip to Great Ocean Road.

We left the hall around 6:30am. I was half asleep on the way to Apollo Bay;P

The drive along the coast was amazing. It was raining so the ocean looked incredibly rough, but it was another magnificence of the nature.

We reached the Twelve Apostles, but bad rain and wind prevented us from walking up to the observatory. Sam and Nathan dared to go out in the ultra harsh rain, while Brian and I gave up after a glance at the apostles;(

This is the only picture I could take;(

Two brave neighbours who got completely wet after seeing the apostles;)



















We made our way back around the noon and had warm lunch at noodle bar in Collac.

It was pity we couldn't see much of the Great Ocean Road this time due to unpleasant weather, but we somehow still enjoyed our little day out from the hall, and mostly each other's company in the car. 6hour ( or more) drive was probably the best part of today's journey.



These people now mean so much more to my life in Melbourne.

Tomorrow is already October―my last 3 weeks of uni in Australia.

only 3 weeks left? for real? that kinda makes me sad too for some reason....
well, we went to Great Ocean Road together 4(or 5?) years ago, you remember? I still remember how beautiful and spectacular the view was. but..one of postles has dissappeared, right? So the view looks a little different.
oh well, nothing stays the same, and neither do we; We have changed so much since the days.
sorry i dunno what i want to say, but i was just thinking how interesting our life is.

yup since i have no exam on November( it's when everyone's having exam), i have only three weeks left at monash. how sad! but i'm not very looking forward to this month...i have 6 assessment tasks from nw to the end of the month;(that's crazy.
i know i still remember last time we went to great ocean road. that day was beautiful. yesterday when i saw the apostles again, i felt so strange cos i never thought of standing there and seeing them again when we were 17. i agree, it's just so interesting our life has been indeed making great sense and leading to somewhere more meaningful.
