I realise this is the first post I've posted since getting back to Sydney. I'm just too lazy to post regularly; maybe I should make it a point to post once a week or something just for fun. Maybe if I'm feeling free I will post on dates that have already passed.

Today we had the FOCUS social in which we had breakfast at the Quad, then walked to Coogee Beach, and then did the Coogee-Bondi coastal walk to Bondi Beach. I somehow slept through my morning alarm and didn't arrive at Shiwei's place early enough to help with preparing the breakfast - so paiseh!

We had a late start, and the sun was really hot, but I learned my lesson and applied sunblock! I'm still gradually losing the sunburn I got last Sunday from watching the inter-college volleyball matches in the late morning - early afternoon sun. There was actually only one FOCUS newcomer, for all that it was supposed to be for the new people, haha.

I was an awful participant in that I complained most of the way about the length of the walk, the heat, my tiny headache and sore feet, so I apologise to all the people who put up with my complaining, especially Rachel! But I guess I had a good time with the beautiful scenery and talking to quite a few people along the way. I also happened to walk near the street where my cousin lives near Bronte Beach.

Anyway, I felt pretty accomplished when we reached the end. According to the Internet, the coastal walk is about 6km, which means it's like walking on High Street along UNSW from Anzac Parade to the junction at Botany Street 6 times, or walking around a typical school track for 15 rounds. It doesn't sound like much when you put it like that, but it felt really long.

College is currently pretty quiet with a lot of people gone to Weekend Away, or at MedCamp, or who were at some festival at the Randwick Racecourse tonight. It's simultaneously nice (being peaceful) and strange (not hearing the usual noise).
