So I woke up this morning and groggily read my facebook wall. Olena had written something about the sky being red and such so I was entirely confused. Then I opened my curtains. Apparently there had been a huge dust storm that blew up the whole eastern coast of Australia in the night and covered Brisbane in an orangey haze. We had to close all the windows, but it was still so hot outside that it was a very strange day. Hardly anyone was walking around and there wasnt even a line for lunch! But I still went to class and walked around. All the asian kids were wearing masks and such it was fairly amusing. I do have to admit though that the dust made it pretty disgusting to breathe.
