It is the end of the holidays... It will be good to start uni again... Have been attempting to read my text book for one of my new subjects... It is quite a good read thus far... Well have decided that this semester, I am going to work very hard at the gym... I am dreading my monday nights as once again I have class from 1800-2000 right over tea time as usual... Sigh... Oh well... what can I say? I can't win all the time can I?
Have decided that Krispy Kream Donut Sundae are yummy but bad all in the same breathe... It has Movenpick ice cream and it is really good but it makes me feel really guilty after eating one which hence the motivation to hit the gym...
I guess it is time to go horizontal and am feeling like a barking dog at the moment as my cough is back with a vengeance... Hope sleep will help the cause...
It is the last week of the holidays... Been a really busy time for me... A few of us have been busy shopping and stocking up on this that and the other... Some have been beautifying their rooms... I rented a car and thus legs exist once again... So it has been adventures every day... Went to Ikea two days in a row and surprise surprise didn't get lost!!!But driving to Paramatta from Rhodes is an adventure.... the roads don't always exist as where they should technically on the map and at other times, the road disappears before your eyes... Had a few interesting sudden changes when hey presto, am in a turning lane wanting to go straight instead! But all in all it has been really fun and enjoyable...
Oh and by the way it is technically still winter at the moment but it was a high of 23 degrees today and 21 yesterday... Miss the cooler weather already... anyway... I am off....
Aroma festival was held at the rocks yesterday... Deja Vu... the weather was the same when I went for the same event a few years ago... it was wet and gloomy... the crowd has grown and there are lots more people and stores... But well for a person who doesn't like coffee I cant help but wonder why I went...Hmmm... I ended up with a few buys though... ha ha ha...
My most expensive buy- cup cakes are back in fashion and this cost $4!!!
This is the last week of the holidays and there are so many things that I want to do and so many things I have to do... The most important being the fact that Uni fees need to be paid... Guess I will wander down today to do that... Then it is off to get the required text books... Sigh...
This is the first time I have seen a rainbow since arriving here in Sydney... It felt really good to see one in the sky... After all the terrible weather we have endured this weekend which was suppose to be the worse seen in the last 30 years... Hunter Valley and many parts of NSW are flooded and damaged... The bad news is the dam did not receive much of the rain... As usual they are built in the wrong place... sigh what can I say?
Am writing my assignment for EHE 908... Am glad that this is the last ICT paper I am doing... Well have other challenges at the moment... Am body burping a lot and it is a challenge when there is company around... It is terrible as no matter what I do, when the night falls, the tum tum acts up... Will have to find a more permanent solution to the present problem...
Rainbows have this wonderful ability to make people feel all warm and fuzzy... I wonder what exactly brings out that emotion in people or what is it that makes people react so positively to the sight of the rainbow?
Anyway back to the assignment before it is too late...
Sydney is being battered by a rather interesting weather system... The winds are howling through the city and a tanker carrying 700 tonnes of fuel has run aground at Newcastle... Quite a sight to behold on the tv... Oh and there are no ferries to Manly thanks to 5 meter swells in the harbor...There is no point using an umbrella in this sort of wind, yet people would still try and all they get for their gallant effort is an upturned umbrella and getting wet themselves... Don't think it is wise to be out there either on foot or in a car as the wind is that strong... The safest place to be in inside the house watching all the action... Well at least there is hope that the dam is collecting some much needed water from this lashing... The rain is suppose to get heavier tonight... Great start to the long weekend isn't it? I love the sound of the wind and rain hitting everything but the downside is that the wind is gusting so strongly that I have to have the window shut unless I want a free clean of the inside of my room...
Great day to be sung as a bug in a rug and just curl up to do nothing but reality is that there is still an assignment that needs completion and well guess I better get on to it right now... Thank goodness it is more than half way there word limit wise but still needs work and polishing...
It was the last day of lectures for me today... Feels weird in a way as it didn't seem that long ago that I started on this new adventure... But now the semester is winding down to a close... I have just completed the last assignment for EDL 901 and it is one of those "What Have You Learnt?" reflective essays... Sigh... had the biggest mental block for the longest time and well am so happy to see it completed... Now will just have to reread it before posting it tomorrow... Then it would be on to 908 to dot he major assignment that is due on tuesday- thank goodness for Queen's birthday long weekend...
Anyway time for bed... I need my beauty sleep and it is cooler now and it is optimum for sleeping...
Hmm...technically it is the first day of winter but the days are still full of sunshine and are quite warm... But the nights are much cooler which is a nice change... The clouds are weird tonight as they are still quite bright and it is after 2100 at night... Guess things are all funny... Am actually curled up in bed writing this... Will have to tidy my room after this as all my readings are all over the place and I don't think I want paper as my floor cover...
My latest fad is fruits... I seem to have found great pleasure once again in eating them... Especially the navel oranges which are so sweet and juicy... But trying to get 5 servings of vegetable proves to be a challenge at times... Think I am exceeding my fruit serving but well at least they are healthy and not empty calorie food...
Went to Chatswood today and it sure felt good to be able to get out of the house just for a bit... I walked the shops and the streets just browsing around... Found that there is a Crabtree and Evelyn store and there was a sale going on in there but I came out with nothing from there... Had a lot of fun window shopping... Plus I had my wonderful novel to keep my company which was great... I can't seem to put it down at the moment which is bad- there are assignments that need to be completed...
Sigh... back to work...
