It Was Wonderful...
On Monday morning I started writing my last second year exam. It was meant to be a 3hr paper and I walked out in 1 1/2hrs, such was the nature of my desperation to get out of that cesspit called Mullins. But after that exam followed a day and a half that was just... wonderful.
After lunch Dez and I went shopping in the blistering heat. We fetched a parcel from the post office which almost involved the demise of several of the clerks, especially the one that scrutinised Dez's ID photo and then peered at her disbelievingly, and then looked at me with much more hope in his eyes. I will always wonder how Dez managed to put that much venom into one look. But we did get that parcel and I procured a dress!! Excitement abounds for the woman that manages to find a dress that can be worn to many an occasion!!
Shopping ended due to dehydration and extreme overheating. The wonderfulness carried on in the form of a delightful sleep. I awoke to the sounds of a thunder storm, and even then I was not deterred from putting on the some shorts and trekking off to the Great Field for the some frisbee. Followed by touch rugby. Followed by a walk in the rain. I caught up with the beautiful Nina, Kathleen, Lisa and Taryn and we jumped in puddles, ran in the rain and giggled like little children. I think several passersby quickened their pace as Nina proclaimed to all and sundry that Taryn was Darcy and she was Lizzy and they were going to re-enact the ending scene of the movie. Disturbing stuff. We looked like drowned rats!!
The next day I went for tea with Dyl at the Theatre Café. We had Moroccan Mint tea and watched as the clouds brought a few drops of rain, passed and allowed scorching heat to burn the tops of our shoulders. It was the best tea in the history of teas! This was truly a day of tea as Lieschi swung by after lunch and then my trip and I made our to buy a pecan pie for tea with Jamie and his trip. Mike and Sean joined us and then coerced us into playing one of the most epic games of frisbee ever!! This game lasted until 7:30 in the evening. Yay for my wonderful day and a half! I'm telling you, you should always stay behind for at least two days after your exams - there is so much that you can do by way of socialising!!
