Saturday Night and Sunday Morning

Last night I joined a few of my friends on a trip to the cinemas. In general they are very similar to ours however they have commericals before the movie as well as trainers. We watched Underworld 3 which thankfully is the prequel to the other two. The seats were very nice and the theatre was wonderful although tickets cost A$12 even for student ones. After the movie we returned to Hutton although some people who wanted to go downtown without driving asked us to drive their car to drop them off. Since only one of the girls I was with at that time had her license and I'm not ready to drive on the left side of the road (especially in the dark with a bunch of people I don't know) we declined. Turns out one of our other friends was the designated driver. At this time it was about 11 but we weren't ready to go to bed as is typical on a Saturday night. Instead we listened to Jarrah's music cause he has a zillion cds. He left to return later that night but noone was really in the hall. So we hung out in the hall...for hours. After a while a random (a stranger) joined us cause he couldn't sleep due to the noise we were making in the hall. Now he's no longer a random although the other guy who walked through the hall I still don't know. Over the 5 hours I was in the hall about 7-8 people sat/laid/lounged around in the hallway and I learned this morning that everyone else went to breakfast at 7 then to bed.
After four hours of sleep I woke up bright and early at 8 to get ready for church. During breakfast I met a new girl named Zoey who we saw a few more times today. Then I was ready to walk the 2 km (1.2 miles) to church. I had my directions from googlemaps, sneakers, and a backpack with my bible. First I looked for the shortcut over to the main road but had to backtrack throughout all of college to get to the road, (one of the campus security guards ran into me), then moved out onto the main roads which had no sidewalks. The directions told me to go down a "street" which wasn't even wide enough of a dirt road for one car so I decided to go around. I found the road, and the place where the church was supposed to be however no church was in sight (I had also lost my directions by that time). After asking some guy who was mowing his yard I turned around and continued on the path I had previously been on. That was a long dead end with many sketchy looking houses set far away from the road and included a large hill. This had taken me about 2 hours meaning the church service was done. Although the temperature was lower than usual (about 85-90ºF) I was really hot and could tell that by the time I got back to College I would probably have collapsed from heat exhaustion. On the way I passed by the Rockhampton Riding Club for the Disabled so I decided to ask if I could have a glass of water. The lady was really nice and not only poured me a glass but left the pitcher out so I could get refills. It took me 10 min to drink the three cups but I really needed that cause it was so hot and such a long walk. The trip back to Uni was very quick although I don't think I will walk there any more cause the lack of sidewalks is a bit creepy. I considered hitching a ride but I think putting your thumb up is offensive and I'm not a pro at hitchhiking cause everyone in Almond knows me and will just give me a ride. Finally I returned: the sweatiest I've ever been ready to shower. After changing I checked out the location of the church again and found that it was actually the opposite direction that I had gone cause the road is spilt. Turns out I walked about 6 miles in the heat. Next week I hope to actually make it to church but I'm still working on a ride. Right now I get to hang out with almost all of the girls in my hall and listen to Jarrah playing his guitar. Tomorrow Uni O Week starts which puts the education majors with the music majors (which a lot of my hall is if they aren't engineers) all day long.
