Just felt like blogging

It's another 2 weeks till the exams come, and I still haven't got the time to start studying! I'm still rushing projects and assignments.... In fact, my whole weekend will be focused on finishing the stuff that's due next week! How about that! I wish I knew what to do about my cognitive project, and I wish I could feel more confident about it, but my points feel like shit, and I feel like shit. The inspiration and the surety isn't coming.... I guess I'll be slightly happier if I finish up CCI tomorrow... Please Lord, help me to make it happen. Help me to help myself and my groupmates.... On the other side, I don't really know what I'm doing right now.... I guess I'm supposed to go and sleep, and wake up refreshed for tomorrow. Or, maybe I'm supposed to go prepare for tmrw, and make sure everything's in place.

But what I really wanted to blog about tonight was just.... Being. I feel like I'm just being right now. Not really feeling much, not really doing much. You know, just being. I'm sorry I haven't got more pictures of Sydney for you guys, but Blogger's really unfriendly with uploading pictures. If you have facebook, the stuff's all there... But if you don't... Please be patient with me.

This's a really random post ain't it? The yuppie is losing her mind!

Phil Collins

Having a nostalgic night, with my roomie sleeping, the house nearly all dark, and good music playing in my ears.

You'll Be In My Heart"
Come stop your crying
It will be all right
Just take my hand
Hold it tight I will protect you
from all around youI will be here
Don't you cry
For one so small,you seem so strong
My arms will hold you,keep you safe and warmT
his bond between us
Can't be brokenI will be here
Don't you cry 'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always Why can't they understand
the way we feel
They just don't trust
what they can't explain
I know we're different but,deep inside us
We're not that different at all And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heartFrom this day on
Now and forever more Don't listen to them'
Cause what do they know
We need each other,to have, to hold
They'll see in timeI know When destiny calls you
You must be strongI may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in timeI know
We'll show them together 'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on,
Now and forever more
Oh, you'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be in my heart, always
Always

So Frustrated!

I would like to create 2 voodoo dolls, stick names on them, and beat them till they're crumpled into dust.

Take that's not dead yet.

After a week of holiday

Today marks the last day of the week long break mid-semester, and the start of the month of October, with dreaded datelines and exams in November.

But what did I do with my holidays? Well... For starters, I went on a day trip to the Blue mountains, and managed to squeeze in a short trip to the featherdale wildlife park. There was a lot to see in such a limited amount of time, but I would really like to go back to Leura, the wonderful village just next to the 3 sisters, and use an entire afternoon to explore that place fully. It was the most perfect day, with the sun shining merrily in the blue blue sky, and the weather just nice.

During the holidays, I also took a few days to go out to Coogee beach with a few friends, and had the most lovely time suntanning on the beach. However, the wind's still too strong, and really, tanning with the sand blowing all over you isn't the most ideal. When the winds die down, I'll be back at Coogee for sure. I also visited Manly and Bondi beaches during the past few weeks, and really, they aren't bragging when Aussies say that Australia has one of the best beaches in the world!

The sand was gorgeous no matter where I went, and the views fantastic. In my opinion, Coogee has the best view, but I personally like Bondi on a quiet weekday. Everyone says Bondi is a hellhole, but really, I think if you avoid Bondi on a weekend, it's great on a weekday. Manly's beach was nice, but I thought the seagulls that stared at us as we ate were a little unappetizing.

For the rest of the holidays, I basically oscillated between a need to catch up on studying, and the holiday mood. On reflection, the holiday mood won out basically, which explains the tremendous amount of guilt that I'm currently experiencing. How I wish this was an exchange, and that all I needed to do was just 'pass'. But no.... I've got expectations. Even if if these expectations are mostly self induced. :)

The juniors have also left, after having tasted Sydney life for a month, and well, the house's a lot quieter. I love quiet, but I envy them for being able to fly home.

Well, another month and a half, and I'll be on my way. Get on the train to study weiie and you'll be home in no time at all....

PS: Pictures soon!

-drools at thought of all the nice food-
