Cairns Trip 2013

Since I moved from Cairns at the end of 2012 I immediately started to save money to make a trip up for this year. It wasn't until last week that I had a chance to go up and see everyone, which would make it almost a year since I saw them. It was just amazing seeing everyone, and it honestly felt like yesterday since I caught up with them last, nothing had changed. The timing of the trip wasn't exactly the best, since it was in the middle of my end of year exams! eek! (smart choice, Lola). But it was in time for their graduation, which is such an emotional and sentimental moment compared to my school. So the exams could wait. I was only there for two days, but I didn't regret one bit. I lost my confidence over the last year since it was difficult to connect and relax with the people from my city, although, seeing everyone made me remember that I wasn't the only maniac that could have friends.

 I think the worst feeling is thinking that something is wrong with you. I don't know. You get to the point where you have to 'tone it down', because people will judge your humor or opinions. Maybe that's just me? What do you guys think?

Long story short, the 2 days were eventful. We ate chips on the beach, snuck up a hill to this creepy abandoned house, cried at the graduation, met up with a few of my old teachers, drove up to the nearby creek and of course attempted to get drunk on the final night but we were too tired and caught up in our gossip sessions to be bothered.

Anyway, I found a few photos from the trip. I wanted to share all this with you guys because it proves that;
1. you can retain friendships
2. certain people can boost your confidence and positivity
3. you can absolutely cram 5 subjects to study in 2 days.

At the local cafe on the beach: waiting for the rest of the gang to arrive (best blueberry smoothie ever! yum!)

Peace on the streets,
