Spring Break OH TEN!

So for my spring break i went on a ten day trip from Brisbane to cairns called One Fish Two Fish. It is a Loyola tradition, every semester people who study abroad in australia go on this trip, it costs almost 2500 but after i describe it u'll realize just as i did how WORTH it, it is. So in total 30 Loyola students went and 40 other students studyign abroad in different parts of Australia (mostly american or candian). The first night we stayed in this hostel where there was a bar right downstairs so ofcourse we hit that up, We got two free shots and discounted drinks all night. I had this shot called a Cowboy, i hear its the equivalent of the slippery nipple in america?? well its like baileys and butter scotch it was delicious i had about 4 of those lol and then vodka and sprites. It was a good night after all those drinks lol..The next day we went to the zoo where we saw the crocodile hunters family including his famous daughter Bindi! (yea i didnt know who she was either, shes like the quivalent of hannah montana but for a much younger audience) Anyways, that night we had a booze cruise mmm free wine and beer for two hours on a huge boat sailing the sea at night, AMAZING!...The next day we went to an island (Fraser Island) and relaxed on the beach...Teh next day we rode on speed boats to the WhitSunday Islands, on the speed boat ride we played a huge game of spin the bottle and passed around two goon sacks(bags of wine) and didnt leave the boats until they were finished so we were tipsyyyy by the time we hit the island. We layed on the island for a few hours where i was given swim lessons by a few friends. We hit the speed boats to head to our new hostels on another island and of course we hit the wine again on the way there. So many people blacked out by the time we hit the island lol...That night we had a plastic party where we were given three plastic bags and had to make an outfit out of it of course mine was very skanky lol It was a lot of funnn, the next day i lounged around the pool all day then at night we had a beach party at the bar. I found a sexy tour guide to give me swim lessons and a few kisses afterwards for being a good student lol...I met a cute aussie afterwards to have a lil fun with for the night;) The next day we got on a multi million dollar yacht and sailed the sea for a day of scuba diving. Day 6 we went WHITE WATER RAFTING, it was sooo much fun, the rapids were crazy our boat filled with water,w e were smacked in the face with water, landed into rocks, went under waterfalls, it was amazing. We paddled our way down the amazing river for 4 hours of fun. Finally we were in Cairns and feeling very EXTREME! Day 7 during the day there was an opportunity to go skydiving but instead i got my FIRST TATTOO!! it says Chosen Silence and i love ittttttt!!!! At night was BUNGY JUMPING, we plunged from 145 feet in the air down over a lake, i was so scared but once i jumped it was the biggest adrenaline rush EVER, then me and two friends got on a swing that went up 160 feet and sent us flying down across the park at 120 km/hr with us screaming our lungs out lol...After that i had my first TEQUILA SHOT! which was definitely called for after that adventure...
Day 8 we took another amazing boat to the Great Barrier reef for a day of snorkeling and scuba diving. With my new tattoo i couldnt snorkel or scuba dive but the boat was amazinggggg...That night we had a pub crawl consisting of 4 bars and a crazy contest at each. Well i ended up winning two of the contests. The first was a condom popping contest where i had to bounce up and down ona pump that was placed on a guys lap and blow up a condom until it popped. The second contest was the fake Orgasm contest, i dont think i need to explain the rules for that, and obviously I WON! lol...I won to free tshirts for the contests but i gave one to one of my friends... The final night we had a goodbye dinner and party, awards were given out and i got an award for being loved by everyone and wining the contests and dancing my ass off lol.. The next day before our flight we went to the movies and saw The Last Song with Miley Cyrus omg such a good movie cried my eyes out lol..We had late flight back, we got in about 12am but didnt get back to our dorms until almost 2 am and i had a text at 11 for which i hadnt studied for yet. Overall this spring break was the best time of my life. I met so many people, came out fo my comfort shell and accomplished so many things i never would have imagined. I dont think anything will ever top this experience, to quote some of my favorite lines from the trip used by everyone but especially one really loud Long Island Italian Boy "SPRING BREAK OH TEN, SHOW US THE TWINS! DUMP EM OUT! YOUZE A DIRTY GIRL!" i'll never forget spring break OH TEN! :)
