Slacky Mcslackersen/Living the Dream

I spent the last three days sprawled out like a lizard in the sand on a beautiful secluded Island.

I realize that I can do this exact thing at home. The difference being that my summers on Prince Edward Island usually involve working sixty hours a week so that I can save money for the University school year. Now I work nine-to-five and can actually take the time and spend the cash to really enjoy a weekend in the white sand.

Getting to the Island was an adventure and half. Four of my new friends and I decided that we wanted to spend two nights on the beach, rather than just Saturday night like the rest of the ESL gang. So as soon as the school day on Friday ended I rushed home via the express bus(which I never take because it's basically a suicide mission), jammed my stuff into a kitbag, bought some fireworks, and jumped onto the subway. We rode the subway to airport Island where we then jumped in a cab. The cabdriver informed us in Korean(AND I UNDERSTOOD WHAT HE WAS SAYING!!!!!!!!) that the ferry to the Island was leaving in twenty minutes and that he was going to have to drive very, very, very fast in order to get us there on time. We all looked at each other hesitantly and collectively told him that driving fast was fine.

The cab driver drove 170 kms an hour. And got into a car accident! He was driving dangerously close to an old fashioned looking truck and knocked his rear view mirror off....and he still didn't stop. We made the last ferry of the night(eight O'clock) and were at the camp-site by nine.

It was an amazing weekend. We spent Friday night singing along to a guitar and building a truly impressive bonfire. The next day I woke early and went for a three hour long hike, the views were spectucular. The rest of the gang showed up around noon and we played ultimate frisbee all afternoon. I also went for my first official dip in the Yellow sea, it was warm like bathwater, and a few of us spent a couple of hours diving and looking for crabs. We watched fireworks for hours that night and listened to some more guitar.

I love weekends(also I promise to be a better and more consistant blogger)!
