Day 2 (These will get shorter and less often I promise)

The second day I woke up early (which seems to be a habit here) and had a very cardboard like cereal called Wheat bix. It’s pretty much a square brick that you break up and put a boat load of sugar on to give it flavor. It’s high in fiber though so it’s good for my poops. After Breakfast, a small group decided to try and make it to the top of the Head (rock face mentioned earlier) before we went grocery shopping. We tried but we only made it half way before we had to turn around to catch the bus to the grocery. It was a nice three mile walk though. We made it back to camp and waited for the bus. The bus arrived and took us to a grocery store in Ballina called Woolsworth. We did some shopping and I ended up spending more than I wanted to on groceries, but hey it happens. I had a little scare with my credit card but it ended up working in the end. We then headed back to camp where another group was talking about going to the head. I decided I wanted to actually make it this time so I tagged along again. Before we left though, we were playing Frisbee in front of the cabins and a horrible accident occurred that left me damaged. The disc was thrown to me and stretched out to catch it. Unfortunately my timing was a bit off and it ended up glancing of my hand and into my eye. It was incredibly painful and ended up giving me MY FIRST BLACK EYE. Then Rusty (my roomy) tried to get fancy and ended up throwing the Frisbee on the roof. Well one thing led to another and eventually someone dared me to jump across the roofs, and I had to oblige them. After I recovered from the devastating blow and the death-defying leap we started our walk to the head. On the way we talked and had a grand old time. We got to the base and saw some people surfing on the number 7 spot and watched them for a while. They are all crazy I am convinced, because those waves could easily kill you. We also saw some dolphins off in the distance but they were pretty hard to make out. Anyway me made it to the top of the head, which had a BEAUTIFUL view. Anyway we had to leave pretty quick because we had an orientation meeting get to. The meeting was boring but necessary. After the meeting we tried to watch a movie (I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry) but I fell asleep and eventually called it a night.
