to much sun!

Bula!
I just realized I havnt updated everyone in a while. My original plan was to post once a week but well oops its been almost 2 weeks. Ive been pretty busy since the last time I posted. I think I have figured out all of my classes. Well as far as I can. I have most definitely figured out the public transportation system. Yay for not having to drive ever! I got to see Alice in Wonderland. Which strangely enough came out in Fiji before it came out in the States. Fun fact about movies in Fiji, they are super cheap. I can go to a movie get popcorn, pop, and candy for cheaper than the price of a movie at home. Also the theater is nicer than the Detroit Lakes theater. This is why all of us international students have decided that it is a good idea to have a movie night once a week. Last weekend was also quite eventful for us australearners. We went to the rugby tournament on Friday which was really hot but pretty fun. It was really funny to see all of the people hiding behind any shade they could get because the sun is so hot here. On Saturday we decided we should take a trip to Sigatoka and to the sand dunes. Also another really hot place. It was cool though because we were the only ones there. But thats how it is in a lot of places that arent super touristy here. So we stayed over night in Sigatoka(because it is a 3 hour bus ride from Suva) and on Sunday we went to Natadola beach. It was so beautiful! We spent the day swimming, attempting to body surf, building sand castles, and lounging on the beach. Sorry to those of you who picked a cold place to study abroad weekends in Fiji are spent in the sun! The only downside that I have found from all of this sun is that being from Minnesota I have absolutely no tolerance to the sun and get burnt all the time. I try to prevent this but to no avail. I guess its the price I pay for living in paradise. Well thats all I can think of for now! Im sure that if you ask there are many more interesting things I could tell you!
