There was of course the unlucky side effect of being able to feel soap suds in all kind of unfortunate places, getting covered in cuts, bruises and scrapes and finding mud and blades of grass just about everywhere... oh, and slip n sliding too hard and hitting the trees at the bottom... twice. But that all adds to the fun of it! Can't wait until this is more of a regular occurrence!
I study chemistry at the University of Sheffield, UK, and am currently on exchange at the University of Wollongong, Australia. This is a place for me to share stories about my experiences and escapades as I explore the world.

Slip n slide Sundays
What do you get when you mix a long strip of tarpaulin, heaps of soapy water, a hill, and some bored teenagers? Slip and slide, that's what! Apparently when it gets a little hotter (because to the Aussies it's freezing right now) the slip n slide comes out every couple of weeks. They're even thinking of getting a wider, thicker strip of tarp so that we can go down a bigger hill! For now though, since this was my first outdoor slip n slide experience, my need to have fun and get outdoors was fulfilled shortly after I donned a pair of my signature short shorts.
