Ad astra [nicola]

Everyone has a thing, a vice, a small source of comfort. Mine is chocolate… having already written a post, praising it in all its glories at the start of the exam period, I’m now writing this the day before my last exam.

This of course is the reason why I’m sweating over lecture notes, intermittantly dipping a desertspoon into a giant tub of nutella which I’ve almost single handedly consumed. Though I have pledged to detox myself of all the rubbish that I have poisened myself with over the past few weeks starting from Tuesday (What’s with Tuesdays?). However, knowing quite well I’m telling myself this only to give myself an excuse of eating ‘just one last 750g tub of nutella…’

The war with Science vs Commerce (which degree should be happening) has not been decided yet, and keeping all options open, I have applied for; a transfer into Melbourne uni commerce, have not applied for the previously mentioned International Business course and will not be running away to north korea anytime soon in a $9000 trench coat or indeed eating my body weight in chocolate (getting there). Despite perpetual complaining about science in general on this blog, I really do like it. Which I guess is why I chose it in the first place. At least I’ll have the holidays to mull it all over 🙂

These holidays I’ll be heading off to Indonesia to learn how to scuba dive & celebrating Christmas with my family, where we’re thinking about working in a soup kitchen to help provide Christmas dinner for the city’s homeless. Perhaps I’ll post over the holidays, perhaps not.

Now it is all done, it’s sad – you know, realising that – wow – it has been one year (ok ok, only 24weeks) of uni life! *gasp* have I made friends? a few… have I enjoyed the year? yea, I have… will it get better next year? you bet!

To the stars 😉

Ciao!
