Money isn't everything

Apple pie and Fruit Smoothie for lunch: AUD 6.50

Pizzas for dinner: AUD 4.00

Alcohol: AUD 10.00

Successfully starting a fire when my lecturer had failed prior to that, with a ring of boys watching: PRICELESS.

There are some things money can't buy, for example, being elevated to legendary status just for a menial act of providing warmth for the geology group on a cold autumnal night, but for everything else...there's your wallet.

It's times like these that i feel super-duper proud to be an Ex-Bounder. No questions asked. It's all about getting on to your knees, scrunching up some paper (notes from fieldwork in the earlier part of the day), getting the lighter out of your lecturer's fingers (he's German, they're only good with cars), lighting the scrunched up paper, setting up a teepee of sticks..and VOILA! instant gratification.

forgive me, i'll try to wipe the smug-look from my face.

*glee*

I love Outward Bound.

*glee*

And the best part is, the boys standing around helpless as they observe a girl save the night by building a fire strong enough to toast your face. boys...ass-whipped. eh-heh.
