HAPPY BIRTHDAY M!!
happy snaps =)

Today for the first time, i wagged a whole day of uni, before you gasp at that statement, it was for a good reason. i visited my friend in gippsland because it was her birthday and S and I didn't want to leave her alone on her birthday. Friendship calls people. We had a glitch when we found out that M's prac times got moved meaning we had to change the times that we had to catch the train but all was well and we caught the earlier train. the trip to gippsland was a little slow and we had to wait around for a long time for the bus to come. but it was alright because we were able to have a mini exploration of the town, we went to a couple of op shops and S and I did buy something, so it was all good. so we caught the bus to monash uni, we were in awe of everything and commenting on the different things in the country from melbourne. i had this really good feeling being in the town but i couldn't exactly described it. so we got to M's residence hall and knock several times but no one answered. finally we knocked again and someone answered. S and I walked and surprised M, it was so cool, i think it was a cool surprise. so we are some food that me and S brought along and we were really full.
then M walked to her uni and we walked around being like tourists and taking photos. there were a couple of interesting shots and kudos to the self timer function. monash gippsland campus is quite modern and doesn't feel like a typical uni, nonetheless i like it better than my uni. we did some exploring around. we went to the amphitheater which was so cool, if you stood in the middle and talked, you feel like your voice is amplified, oh i love the coolness of physics and sound.
sadly this all had to come to an end when M had prac class, leaving S and me roaming around. we decided to  do one last thing for M, so we wrote a letter and left in a hiding space for M to find, it was a really random letter, me and S just found it really funny.
Then we made our way back to the station and we had just missed the train by a minute so we went more exploring. i bought a baby sitters club book, the first one.
Now the following was such a downer on our wonderful day, the train got to pakenam but then there was a signal fault at dandenong, so the train stopped at pakenam. and they said that would organise a coach, but they left us waiting outside in the cold for 40 mins until the coach came along. i felt so sorry for some people, there was this old man and lady in the wheelchair who wasn't able to get on the coach, hopefully they were able to get to their destination alright. yeah but then traffic after dandenong was so bad it took me about 2 hours to get from dandy to caulfield, where i got off the coach to catch a train to flinders. when i got to flinders, my train was also running late. it took me 5 and a half hours to get home when it should have taken me 3 hours, not very happy v-line/metro. way to dampen my happy spirits for the day. so i got home pretty late and hungry. oh wells at least i didn't have any where to be, some other people had trains to catch and concerts to attend.

Thanks M for such a fun day and showing us around and tolerating my touristy tendencies.

Love Squealer.
