No classes on Wednesday because of Ekka (a public holiday festival in Brisbane).
As I said in the previous post, this morning started out with me waking up in the shower. I cleaned up my room, slept on Lina's floor and made toast while we recapped the horrors of the night with Michael. Then, around noon, we decided to get on with our day's plans and head to the races. Lina was sick and needed to study, so she stayed in. Jillian and I rushed to get clothes on and we took van out to the racetrack for Ekka. Everyone here dresses up for the races and it was a spectacular fashion show of dresses, shoes and hats!! And all the guys looked pretty spiffy, too. Michael won his first race with I Luv Queenslanduh, but then lost the rest. I was feeling pretty shaky the whole time, so I didn't drink and actually ended up getting sick for a bit. Fun Times. On our way back, I parted from the rest of the crew and took the bus home. Jillian continued on for dinner and more drinks to see the Irish off.
