Sun.

I'm having such a lovely day today.

I had an early start and had a lovely chat to my friend turned quansi crush. I might see him again this weekend, I'm not sure :)

I got to see Megan, who if I'm allowed to call two people my bffl's, then she is my bffl, as she's been for six or so years. I actually got to hang out with her and Mia yesterday as well which was a treat. We went to Samara's for lunch, which is where we normally go but we can't help it, they have these lovely wraps with chips and garlic sauce which two people can share and then it's only $7.50 for a lovely time out. I love girl talk and gossiping and talking about boys and old dramas and who's got how far and just general 'how's life?'

There are so many people in my life that I can feel uncomfortable around. I'm socially awkward sometimes and I can get quiet and insecure and be unhappy around people because I think they may not like me or I'm doing something wrong or I just feel like they'd prefer me not to be there but around these two girls, I never feel that and that's special.

I finished uni at 12:30 today and since it was such a beautiful day (Spring really did hit as soon as September started), I caught the bus around to South Beach. I already had my swimmers on and my hat/sunscreen in my bag, along with my ipod and book. It was too bad really that I had my laptop with me, otherwise I could have gone for a nice long walk along the beach. As it was, I covered it with my clothes when I went for a quick dip. First time this season and boy, was it cold! But not too bad, I did go under and stay in for a few minutes.

I feel happy that I did and that I wore my bikini with no boardies. I don't always do that and though I don't feel happy with the way I look right now, I still did it.

I like that I went there today. I didn't ask anyone to come with me or try to make an event out of it, I just pleased myself and did something that made me happy. I got to hang out with myself and get the beginnings of colour into my skin. I know it's never happened before (at least not since I was a kid spending hours upon hours outdoors every day of Summer) but maybe I can get active enough to be a little tanned this season. I'm mostly just a little bit pink on my arms where the blockout didn't end up covering and on my face despite my hat though.

I have work tomorrow but the rest of the day free so I'm hoping tremendously that I can be convinced to go for an early morning run tomorrow. I totally have stopped treating my body the way it needs to be treated if I want to lose weight, and would like to start remedying that. Now that netball is over, that's three days of sport/training that I'm no longer doing and I've only replaced it with two, which is basketball and rock climbing.

So let's see it replaced with running and swimming this summer.

Woooo! Must enjoy this lovely weather and this bright mood :D
