First week back at uni is supposed to be gentle and undemanding but it was one of the most hectic weeks ever. Last night was closing night of Niebling vs Niebling. I wanted to go to the afterparty but I didn't expect to last long. I dropped over to Blair's housewarming just before to check it out and give him cigarettes and I planned to come back after our party but I'm glad I didn't. It's always the same people pretty much and I do have a good time with that crew but I do it all the time. Over at Chen's there were 4 different rooms happening. The shed was the beginning of everyone chilling and chatting and attempting to dance but the music wasn't loud enough. In Ally's room we were working out who Solomon was going to vote for in the election through a questionnaire Matt created. In the loungeroom people were simulating orgasms. I avoided that one. And in Chen's were the people who wanted to party. Chen has the greatest taste in music. We were mostly going rap and dubstep though. By the end there was Ash, Maddie, Liam, Ben and me sitting in Benedict's car rocking to dubstep. Ash kept weeing behind cars on the street and talking about how efficient she was. We started worrying about making noise in a residential area and having the cops called because we were all pretty drunk so we decided to drive to Mt Keira. Yes drunk. It was terrifying. The look out at the top was gated closed so we had a dance party under the moonlight just at the gate. Ash was the first to drop. It was decided we would watch the sunrise but once we'd danced ourselves out and sunrise still wasn't for an hour or so we got back in the car because it was freezing and most of us were wearing inappropriate clothing. This is where we lost Maddie. So then It was just Ben, Liam and me trekking to the top of this mountain past the gate determined to watch the sunrise from the highest point. Exhausted and drunk and Ben wasn't wearing shoes. Reaching the top was worth it. Ben kept complaining about not bringing his camera up the mountain but I didn't care. I don't think photos would have captured it the way it should have been. Liam found some chairs. Cue mindless vandalism. Swinging chairs over a cliff until Ben decided it was slack. Leaving the rest scattered all over the place. Walking around until we found the perfect place to watch the sun rise over the entire city and the ocean and the moon was still in the sky and we were holding each other so tightly huddled and just admiring the beauty of the colours that you only see at this time of day and not having words that would do it justice so just repeating 'fuck' over and over again and seeing the sun rise so quickly once it hit the horizon and remembering it hurts to look at it directly but not being able to look away because there is nothing more perfect than this moment.
We went to go back down the mountain and noticed the chairs we'd made a mess of had been cleaned up and I don't know how we didn't notice that being done right behind us. Got back to the car woke the girls and drove home. Being more sober this time I was a little more scared that Ben was going to kill us. There was no way I was going to sleep by this time that I just caught the next train home. I am fucked for the work I have to do now but I couldn't be happier.
