well i suppose it's time to update for the first time this year. how is everyone?

i wrote this blog on january 23rd and emailed it to myself to save for later. that makes me a loser, but maybe i should post it anyway...

I went away only for a short while, forgot the bleak weather I left behind, enjoyed a few blissful days in the sun, and then came home to suddenly remember how unreasonably cold Bowling Green can be. I am thinking about this as I sit with my space heater going full blast, still wearing my snow jacket, and staring at a postcard of the Great Ocean Road stuck to my bulletin board. It already seems like I went to Australia years ago. But, needless to say and simply put, it was a wonderful trip. We got to do everything in the John Denver song, so I would say it was a success. We even got in the ocean after saying we all probably wouldn't- a big accomplishment considering that we saw a shark, jelly, and ray half an hour earlier (ok, from a boat but still enough to make amateur snorkelers hesitate). But, despite frightening wildlife, I loved everything about Australia. How couldn't I? If you ever go, here is what you have to look forward to:

perfect weather
friendly people
cute marsupials
sweet chili sauce & carbonated lemonade
the smell of eucalyptus trees
mullets
