Yesterday I was very good and went out and bought myself some fancy trainers, shorts, a sports bra and a t-shirt that says ‘just do it!‘ to try and make myself get fit. I got up early this morning to go for a jog around campus when no-one was around. Just as I was really starting to wheeze and beginning to think it was all a terrible idea…. two kangaroos jumped across the road ahead of me! Hurrah! I have been rewarded for my efforts! They stopped about 5m away and looked at me quizzically for a bit until I ran on.As a side note, apparently ‘wallaroos’ really do exist! And yes, it’s a cross between a wallaby and a kangaroo. Someone gave a seminar about them last week!

Becks is a marine ecology PhD student, living in Queensland (Australia), Dumaguete (Philippines) and London (UK). Marinegirl is her online alter-ego. She dreamt her up as as super-gorgeous superhero saving the underwater world (if you've seen Captain Planet, you get the idea). She is not, and never will be, in the marines.
Sounds like you are having a good time so far, sounds much more exotic than sunny Hull!

I reckon the ‘roos are more intelligent than you think. They stopped and waited to see you ‘just do it’. Maybe they’re a bit disappointed? Better keep up the training regime if you want them to be impressed.
very impressed with the running! Hope you get into the tennis before it gets too hot.
