Last week, I got to go to the print shop where everything the design studio I’m interning at gets printed. I can sometimes be a little obsessive about how things work, so it was really cool to see exactly what every command we do in the software does to the printer. They also used some of the pictures I took on their blog.

Then we (the American interns) went to Moreton Island this past weekend. It was nice.

Like I said, last weekend was pretty sweet. I still have not been on an over-night backpacking trip, but I will still jump at the chance to go camping. Still, I consider camping to be kinda too luxurious for sleeping outside. I think I’d be fine with a sleeping bag and some form of fire-starter. And maybe a hammock. But I would definitely want to try that in the summer (like it is at home), because it was a good thing I was able to rent a sleeping bag. I didn’t know outdoor stores (oxymoron?) delivered their products (yes, like a pizza). Is it really true that the best way to stay warm in a sleeping bag is to sleep with as few clothes as possible? I had three pairs of (cotton) socks, and my frozen feet were the only thing that woke me up. 

I guess I like to talk about camping. The video should explain a lot. It was cool. The weekend’s events went something like: ice skating thursday night (winter festival downtown), driving/camping Friday, hiking/mountain climbing Saturday (and did the ferris wheel and checked out the casino for a little bit that night after I got back too), and the Australia Zoo on Sunday. Everything lived up to expectations. Feeding kangaroos was awesome, but they still scare me.
