Monday night, I had social water polo. Basically, you sign up for teams and just play games - no drills, sprints, or practice. Well, no one showed up for their games, so it just ended up being JCU club plus a few random people. Instead of playing four 5 minute quarters, they decided to play six. I cannot even begin to describe how tired and sore I was. The sad part is I probably only played for three of those quarters, or maybe even two full ones. Disgraceful. I haven't played since Monday but do not fear, I have rested well for this weekend's Fisher Shield Water Polo Tournament. If I take nothing else away from this abroad experience, if I keep up with this water polo thing I will for sure leave with thighs of steel.

Never Never Land
Share
Monday's are great. This is mainly because I do not have class, but not having class means I can do fun things. Like this Monday, I went out to get fish and chips for lunch with Boyd, Brooke and Katherine. So good! We went to this place (they call it the best) on Palmer Street. I am pretty sure it is owned by a Greek family. Family owned + right on the harbor = good fish. After our feast of fish and chips, we went to the rock pool. The pool is right on the Strand and as you might have guessed, is enclosed by rocks. It probably gets to about 3 meters in depth and they pump the water straight in from the ocean. Everything reminded me of Never Never Land and the lagoon for some reason. Brooke and I hiked up on this hill looking over it and I was like, "I've been here before." It was a gorgeous day and the water was very relaxing. I could get used to this whole three day weekend thing...or four, or five days.

thighs of "steal?"
ReplyDeleteSo I see you trying to compete for Mr. Australia 2010. Good news: I won several water polo tournaments in my day, so when we're back at AC, you'll have some healthy competition. I'll try my best not to drown you.
