Mmmm…. (Georgie)
Well hello again world.
I feel like i haven’t written in ages. So what’s been going on?
Well, I was worried that I wouldn’t have enough work for the holidays, but I ended up having way too much. I was in at the law firm and at A&R in Heidelberg and so I ended up getting quite a bit of money, but not a lot of time to spend it – is that a catch 22? I went away to Inverloch for a few days with 3 of my younger cousins (17, 12 and 10), so that was good.
I now have absolutely the best uni timetable ever. I only have 2 days of classes. Tues: 9-6 and Wed: 9-1:30. This has further cemented in my mind the idea that uni is the best thing that ever happened to me. So now I’m at the law firm Monday and Thursday and the bookshop on sundays – independent allowance, here I come!
Before I came back this semster I was a little worried that I would have to make friends all over again, but thank god I didn’t have to! I now have lunch at the uni bar (which my friend says is called that because it’s uni spelled backwards, anyone know if that’s true?) with a bunch of friends on tues, lunch with my best friend in the whole world on wed in the union lounge (now nicely furnished, I applaud the make over) and then hang out with a friend from Newman (fantastic college, very jealous she’s there) till drinks with a bunch of other friends. So, feeling a lot less friendless.
My uncle passed away yesterday, so that was a crappy day. My auntie told me when I was home alone so I got a bit distressed and then had to ring up and tell my mum and my brother and my dad, who’s in South Africa at the moment, so that sucked double time. I went up to Sydney a couple of weeks ago to visit him, so I was glad I got to see him. He was pretty old and had been in hospital quite a while and I think he was just really glad a lot of the family had gone up to see him. But I think most people would agree with me when I say, death sucks.
Anyway, hope everyone’s holidays were fun and that no one has tutes in Queensberry St!
Cheers,
Georgie
Oh, and have now become hooked on facebook. Not seriously, I don’t spend a lot of time on it but I check it about 2 times a day. Is that bad?
I’m so sorry about your uncle.
Hope you’ll enjoy semester 2.
