calm before the storm...
Sunday, October 08, 2006
so it's sunday. which means that tomorrow is monday. which means that i have to go to school tomorrow. (way to go at stating the obvious 
huh)... but that also means i just came out of a weekend... a much needed one.
after collecting results this past week, i think everyone was just looking forward to the weekend as a reason to breathe. 48 hours that belonged entirely to us. no shadows of the past term hovering over us. no tell-tale reminders of the upcoming finals frightening us (though it should ;D). just 2 days to shake off the mild-hearattacks endured and brace ourselves for what the final 2 months had in store. some go clubbing to meet their colourful alcohol-based friends. others bury their heads in past lectures to numb out the pain. i on the other hand... made it MY weekend ;p
just like every saturday, jacq-jacq was at my door by 12pm to drag me for chemistry support lectures at swanston street. eventhough i detest the need to NOT sleep in on a saturday, i owe that little girl for getting me out of bed and placing my chemistry grades at a salvageable level. by 1.30, we had convinced mark to go with us on our fortnightly ritual of buying groceries from vic
market. honestly, we just wanted to interrogate him on the interview he had with adelaide university the day before ;p but as expected... mark's response was "it was fine!". though we know he did superbly and he's just blind to his brilliance... so no mark... we don't believe you ;D. joel called not long after, saying that he was headed to nelson to get some work done. by 4, we came home with 2 pizzas from dominos (no... haven't been fasting ;p) and settled in to my apartment to watch 'take the lead'. about 15 minutes later, kevin called and figured out that he was being excluded... and came too. so by the end of the movie... i had all of my closest friends (minus ai-lynn :( ), crammed in my studio apartment, hanging out till the sun went down.
today was no different. after spending the early afternoon searching the libraries for eap resources, me and jacq came home to get a head
start on reading (though i felt my brain turn to mush after every sentence!). at 4pm, kevin was ringing my doorbell... and half an hour later... joel was ringing jacq's doorbell (i acknowledge the pattern... and smite whoever does too! ;p). as the 'big brother', kevin cooked us dinner while joel downloaded more episodes of house md on my comp and jacq went through the books she got. cool piece of information i got today: joel knows ALOT of people from sri aman! apparently the boy went to sri petaling... so for all you people reading this and going... hey! i know a joel from sri petaling... yup... same guy ;D the world just keeps getting smaller. so it was rather interesting when we called up rai, and they got to talking. the world i came from... met the world i'm in... long before i did!
so yeah... today was good. we took lots of random pictures... and usually i would stay out of it... but you know what... we graduate in less than
two months. after that, we'll all be thrown to different places and when uni begins, to different faculties. if this is all the time we've got left LIKE THIS... then i plan to hang on to every second of it ;D
emo-ness aside... i can't help but jump in anticipation over mom and fiz coming over on the 19th. sarah's coming too, which is awesome cause i miss our sundays! so for the first time all term... I WANT TIME TO MOVE FASTER! my family's coming to melbourne! woohooo!
... on second thought... come to think of it... my family in melbourne... all at the same time...
... who can we see about re-naming the city?
