Restless

Aussie phrase of the day: Spot on = exactly right, "You're spot on!"

I just finished a bowl of really unenjoyable ramen noodles and some toast with peanut butter... remind you of college? I was trying to watch a movie I downloaded on iTunes yesterday, but I wasn't really into it so I checked my fave blogs on Glamour.com and decided that's what I should do... instead of writing the feature article that's due in class tomorrow. No worries, I got an extension. I've written myself nearly to death. Every day I've been staring at my computer screen for hours on end, typing away til my fingers nearly bleed, my butt and back ache and my eyes are blurry. I'm sorry I haven't had more interesting things going on in my life and in Oz and that I've been so damn whiney in my recent blogs. The bottom line is I'm here to get my Master's degree and eventually that was going to start taking over. The first month or so I felt like I was walking around with a heady glow, like I was in a fairy tale and life was finally getting started for me. There was so much to do and see and friends to make. It was all very exciting and fast. That's what they (school counsellors) call the 'honeymoon' period. That honeymoon seems like ages ago now.

This weekend will be new and exciting and will have a few pics to go along with it! I'm going to a place called Monkey Mia. It's several miles north of Perth and I've wanted to go there since my first visit to Australia... mostly to feed the dolphins, which I hope to do this weekend! It will be nice to get away again and couldn't come at a better time... the end of my semester! I can't wait to tell you all about it!
