Okay so my marks were pretty good when I think realistically about the fact it was my first semester, I made a lot of organisation errors....and I guess if I realise that getting over 80% at Uni is a lot harder than at high school...however I was still severely disappointed (for a while). Particularly when my best subject all semester (Management) ended up being my worst...while my worst subject all semester (Micro) ended up being my best. It was very much a "WTF?!" moment.
I'm not one who goes on and on about these things however, so after a bit of a cry to J and talking to a lot of friends, I realised that my dreams of making it to an investment bank and (hopefully) NYU next year, were still very much alive, even with my current marks.
Anyhow...to put things in greater perspective I have been in the process of organising a viewing of my exam papers. Now I have no idea quite how it all works and I'm sure not many first years do either. So here is a short guide.
Step 1: Search faculty websites. They like to hide things from you. Oh how I wish there was a flashing sign on the front page- "EXAM VIEWING INFO". I guess they hide it on purpose however so it's a thing of less people to deal with. J found out the Economics Department info for me - there appear to be no viewing time for QM1 however, and for Micro...they are next week and I am yet to know my timetable. As soon as I do, I'll book in a time for that.
Step 2: If no luck on internet, call faculty. I called the "Undergraduate Administrators" and they were both really nice for Management and Accounting respectively. Nicole from Management gave me directions of how to find the info on the web while Rebecca from Accounting forwarded me to the correct person's number to book a time.
Step 3: Ensure times are written down in diary.
Step 4: Go and view papers.
edit 19/7/06
Ran from Swanston Street to the Economics & Commerce thinking I would have missed the entire duration of my appointment thanks to a missed train.I clamber up the stairs feeling particularly unfit (moreso that usual) only to find a backlog of 3 students waiting outside the room. I'm told that "some guy" has been in there arguing with the lecturer for half an hour!
We wait patiently and I am content with relief that I have not screwed up my first exam review appointment. Suddenly the door opens...the "argumentative student" is revealed...I nearly pass out with shock when I see that it's D.
MY FRIEND D!
D...who I hadn't seen since our fateful trip away down the coast....except out of the bunch he was probably the only one that didn't think I was a total weirdo since we drove down and back together sharing good conversations!
I smiled and said hi....asked if he was still interested in tennis this semester to which he said yes before what can only be described as "running" away. LOL.
He called later to apologise in case I'd thought he was purposely doing that because of me which was really kind. I figured that it was because of the exam/argument with lecturer. So luckily it was...and he still wants to be my friend! YAY!!!!
After he'd left....acquaintance/kindof friend/drunk who had sex in the bed next to me while we were away down the coast appeared! SHOCK PART 2.
She acted like nothing had happened. And I did the same.
Relief?
Definitely.
Worry?
Yes.
This has been too easy. I'm waiting for the death stares or taunts.
They say the worst is yet to come for a reason I guess!
AS FOR THE EXAM.
Brad Potter is a lovely Professor. He was very kind to me and nice. Of course no mark changing occurred but he really reassured me that my mark was great and I was well above the average that most people got. He told me I should be proud of my mark...and I came out deciding I was - I am. I am really proud.
Management Exam Review on Friday....now THAT will be interesting.
I will write an updated edit of this post when I found out what exactly happens when you view your exam paper.
Until then...I'll be at the Political Interest Society O-Week table from 1pm til 3pm tomorrow (Tuesday the 18th)...so feel free to come up for a chat!!!

How annoying.
A couple of days ago, I was sent an email from another student at the university. The email basically accused me of being ungrateful, racist, pathetic, among other things. From what I could tell, the student was pretty much taking out all their issues of imagined inferiority on me. It was ridiculous, but it also hurt me to know that somebody out there decided on me to be the scapegoat for them to blame for all their problems, the stereotypical epitome of everything they think is wrong with the world. This is just a note to anybody else who decides to use this blog as a place to find victims - don't even think about it. Two reasons: this blog was not set up for you to verbally abuse the bloggers, and secondly, I will verbally kick your ass.
Moving right along!
Apart from that nastiness, I'm so over holidays. Having nothing to do, or think about, or focus my days around is getting slightly tedious. But I suppose I'm grateful that I'm not supposed to be at classes; I've spent the last couple of days in bed with a nasty cold. And it's raaaiiining! Matthew has been here and looking after me while he isn't at work - these last three weeks, he's been working at a law firm in the CBD as a seasonal clerk. Ooh! A tad bit a drama concerning that .. on his last night (Friday), he was supposed to go to a party of sorts at a bar. The plan was for us to meet and have coffee between 5 and 7pm (when the party started). So I sat on Collins St outside the 101 building from about 5:15pm. Fearing I'd be late, I tried to call. No answer. Waiting, waiting, waiting. I was sick and freezing cold, but I waited. And he didn't call. And then at 6:40pm, Matt came strolling out with two young ladies wearing expensive coats and a lot of makeup. They were pretty, fashionable young clerks, laughing and clicking along the street in their high heels, and Matt was with them. Then there was me, looking bedraggled with greyish white skin, red eyes and nose, cracked lips, sitting there coughing and sneezing whilst holding a rapidly dying rose. In a moment of insanity, sickness and feeling utterly miserable, I ran up to Matthew and told him exactly how mad I was, hit him with the rose that I'd bought for him (it was thereafter decapitated). It was a dramatic scene, and I felt a bit guilty for making it afterwards - me sniffling, him apologizing profusely, red rose petals everywhere. But he definitely made up for it.. taking me to dinner and then ditching his party (he admitted that he didn't want to go anyway) so he could take me home. Awwwww! Alas, now he's back to Geelong and I can only see him once a week.
I'm feeling so positive about next semester. Luckily, the timetable gods are on my side - it's looking as though I will have Friday off, and Thursday will be empty except for a two hour workshop/rehearsal for Theatre Studies. I'm glad to have ditched subjects that I thought would 'look good' for ones that I'm actually fond of and good at. Learning Chinese at high school was all good and fun, but it's just too hard to compete here in the same class as people who took gap years to live in China teaching English there, or did language intensives on holidays there. I haven't been in a Chinese speaking country since I was 8, and although it has ingrained a better understanding of Chinese/Taiwanese culture.. it hasn't really given me any kind of edge in terms of language. Well, theatre studies here I come!
Being at home for the holidays has given me a lot of time to pratice singing.. which is nice. Because I'm home during the daytime, when most of my housemates are at work, I can be as loud as I like and nobody complains. My singing has really come along in leaps and bounds in the last few weeks; I found a new song to work on, The Beauty Is from The Light in the Piazza by Guettel. It's a lovely soprano song with some interesting bits - I had heaps of trouble with the pitch to begin with, because it's so odd. If anybody has ever listened to Sondheim, it's a little like that in terms of odd intervals. But it's a beautiful song. I think that it will be my audition song for Beauty and the Beast later in the year, I'm gunning for Belle so wish me luck!
I'm alive.
-Probably an important way to start!
I'm in a state of major lack of sleep right now so I just wanted to say things are all pretty good.
I quit "Tarjey" on Monday (Hello! -I'm trying to gain SOME respect here!)...which was an 'interesting' experience. I gave two weeks notice so still have a number of shift to do (unfortunately)...but I live my life with the belief that there is no point burning bridges uneccesarily.
I have been seeing a lot of friends and J which has been wonderful but there still seems never enough time in the day.
Also I have been working a bit....I am LOVING the casual work I have been doing for this investment banker I know. It is just thrilling learning everything I have so far. (Yes that sounds lame I know but I feel so grateful for the opportunity he has given me) I am more convinced than ever of what I want to do in my life career-wise (which is a great feeling after spending a number of years earlier on in life with absolutely no idea whatsoever except the knowledge that it involved business).
Last but not least, I have been shopping a lot....the money earnt has to go somewhere! I am loving ModelCo products right now, particularly the SkinDrink Airbrush Moisturiser. This stuff is amazing for mixing with foundation or setting makeup!
Overall my days have been passing way too fast and though I have a slight itch to get back to Uni already, part of me is really nervous about dealing with everything that entails.
In particular...I am nervous about facing a group of people who think I'm some kind of judgemental, tee-totaler, party-pooper, loser because I went away with them for one night, didn't feel comfortable drinking....and it just so happened their idea of a good time was drinking until they passed out/vomited everywhere/sleazed onto me in front of their girlfriends. I wish I could forget the whole experience. But alas! First year is for new experiences right? So here are a few notes for naive First Years like myself.
Note 1: Do not go away with casual friends/acquaintances of whome you do not know their social habits.
Note 2: Whatever age you are, quit the job you hate.
Note 3: To be organised: Have a diary. Write in it. Follow what you write. Keep lists (your saviour). Keep in prominent place close to eye-level. Read every night before bed and every morning when you wake up.
Note 4: Be realistic. Perfection is unobtainable. Full stop.
Note 5: Push your boundaries once. Try again.
Note 6: Every once in a while stop and think. Are you being challenged? Are you healthy? What are you unhappy about in life? If no challenge exists, create one. If you are feeling unhealthy, firstly start exercising at least 3 times a week. Don't be afraid to TAKE A BREAK. In particular, do not be afraid to call people or ask people for help/advice.
Note 7: Always extend your social network. Friends are your lifesavers. Make as many friends as possible from as many different places as possible in as many different age groups as possible. This is your best sanity saving defence mechanism.
Note 8: Every mistake is a good mistake because you learn from it. If you make the same mistake twice, you are an idiot.
Note 9: Be yourself. People like you DO exist and it is impossible to always fit in everywhere unless you are a Lemming. Good people value difference. Lemmings are boring and fall over cliffs anyways.
Note 10: University is a way of life. Developing who you are as a person over the next few years is the true key to life success. But please...do study and do try hard or you will regret it. HECS and CSP actually stand for something (i.e monetary loans) and will come back to haunt you later down the track so you want it to have been worthwhile!
Apart from that,
Goodnight and goodluck!

Dear Jeremy;
Us good folk at the University at Melbourne have now, with the aid of many, many staff, and, in a panicky finish, the Managing Director's Tattslotto numbers, managed to evaluate your final score for your subjects. We have discovered that you have achieved a mark below the 60% range. Here at the University of Melbourne we like to say that we encourage all students to lead an active co-curricular life outside of the University. As far as you yourself are concerned, this is a barefaced lie. You have not performed to the standards acceptable for a student of an institution that has a fancy Latin motto (from memory, we think it's "flagellatus et cunnilingus") and thus, we wish to send you this letter, which is probably currently sitting in your recycle bin.
The University of Melbourne (or, when we're feeling really trendy, 'UniMelb') has expounded far too much money to become NUMBER NINETEEN IN THE WORLD and more to the point has spent far too much money on advertising the fact that we are NUMBER NINETEEN IN THE WORLD for you to go and get average marks. How on earth are we going to attract all those international students who don't have enough marks to get into the first eighteen universities in the world if we're not number nineteen anymore? Could you imagine the horror if we had less full-fee paying students coming through our doors? It would mean we'd need to have MORE HECS PLACES and wouldn't that be the end of society as we know it. At the worst it would mean that people from public schools stand a fighting chance of attending our institution and at the very least it would mean a larger membership for the ALP club. Thus we have sent you the following application (enclosed):
Application to Not Enjoy Yourself In Second Semester
I, (insert your name), hereby promise not to have any fun whatsoever at the University of Melbourne during the second semester of 2006. I anticipate that this will not be difficult as I will be spending all of my time (studying/earning money to pay off future bribes/writing for the First Year Blog (circle one)). I hereby promise to squash all desires of a sexual nature by (castration/thinking of John Howard and Kim Beazley making out/contracting herpes/getting married (circle one)) and all those of a social nature by (being a lame **** and making excuses (circle one)). I have made provisions for a saline drip and a portaloo to be installed at my desk so as to not waste valuable study time during my regular day. I appreciate and accept that failure to meet required standards at the University will result in (explusion and disgrace/an Arts degree/a long and satisfying career in the exciting world of a Public Servant/living in a share house till I'm thirty-five (circle all four)). I will try my hardest to rectify this situation.
(Yours Truly/Sincerely/In Worship Oh Great One/Well I'm really f***ed now aren't I (circle one)),
(insert name here).
*** NOTE *** In all truth, although I haven't worked as hard as I would have liked, I haven't done too badly at all in first semester. Maths has been hard to catch up on, especially after so long out of the education system, but hopefully next semester will be a different story. Time to knuckle down, I think. That, and in reality UniMelb isn't quite such a stuffy institution as I make it out to be, but there's no point in letting the truth get in the way of a good story. Hope your marks went ok for you;
jez
ps - Try and have a little fun with the picture attached at the bottom. A starting hint; that massive airship is a Led Zepplin. The address for the full-sized picture is http://virgindigital.com/wallpapers/virgindigital1280x960.jpg. No looking at the solutions first, dammit!
What fun vacation has been.. not. I'm aching to get back; I need something to fill my days. I love reading the other blogger's posts about how they can't possibly fit anymore into their schedules. Sounds like how I used to be, but alas.. my group of friends have been flung in every direction and I have pretty much lost them.
Other than that, I'm travelling up and down rehearsing for Anything Goes. It's alright.. the tap-dancers are very annoying and unprofessional, making me want to maim them with a chorus shoe! It's funny that someone as meek as me, continually pushed and bossed around by other people, can harbour such malicious thoughts! Maybe it just makes up for the fact that I never get to express my anger. The girl who is playing the part that I'm understudying hasn't been to any rehearsals yet, so I've been filling in for her - great fun. It's a fabulous cast.
Alas, the subject of this post reveals what has been the major theme of my holidays so far. Medical things.. I strained tendons in my wrist just before exams, which was great fun. Because of it, I haven't been able to work at Safeway for the past few weeks, meaning that I can't be so flippant about buying pretty dresses or going out with Matthew for teppanyaki. And I like being flippant and fancyfree! Grrr.. oh well, it's all healed, so I can start working again next week. But the real emergency has been my head.. as I was working out last week, I got a horrible, sudden, severe bolt of pain in my head, followed by other weird symptoms. Today I had a CT scan, which was scary. I'm probably fine, so don't worry.
Despite everything, I'm very excited about next semester. I'll be doing a theatre studies subject, which is closer to what I think I really want to do. I'm constantly asked why I'm not doing musical theatre at VCA, and I think my real answer is that I'm too scared. I'm hoping that by taking on theatre subjects and doing lots of theatre, I'll eventually have confidence enough to audition - oh, and after I've finished this Arts degree!
I hope you've all had marvelous holidays.. they shouldn't have been as boring as mine! xx
Very short summary, these last weeks have involved events such as:
*Heading back to Melbourne a couple of times for water polo, and also to organise my semester 2 arrangements
*Numerous parties (all of my friends seem to have their birthdays around this time)
*Various outings to try to occupy my mind with more favoured thoughts
*Days where i would much rather prefer to lie in bed than face the evil wind blowing straight in from out at sea
*A rather amusing yet VERY embarrassing incident involving big mouths and a whole Sydney Uni men's basketball team.........
*Lots and LOTS of just general ...pondering and anxious "what-if" thoughts over uni, what to expect going back in such a different situation etc.
*A trip to the snow involving snowboarding and a now very painful a*** (aka bottom - ed.)...actually make that body
*A trip to the hospital on Saturday night after having my drink spiked with pure distilled ethanol causing a BAC 0.005 or so units away from dying. I must say it is quite scary to wake up in a beeping room with wires and tubes and clips and masks attached to you, let alone to have 7 hours of your life erased from your memory forever... what is this world coming to?!?!
Yikes.
I'm back in Sydney writing this, and gosh, it's a bit of a strange feeling to have everything done for me again. After what I can only describe as a tumultuous term, I'm lapping up the generous amounts of food and attention being offered by family and friends. With that said, it's genuinely odd to be "home". My room has been repainted and rearranged to represent some kind of study, my parents and brother are actually interested (well, were for the first few days at least) in what I had to say, and the cats remember me. Things have changed, not as much at home though as within my old friendship group, which seems to have fragmented beyond recognition. I'm slowly catching up with people one chunk at a time. I suppose I should have expected something like that to have happened - everyone going their own direction. If I could move to Melbourne, surely they could all have moved on too. Hopefully I'll get to see them all together soon.
Anyway, plenty of time for more Sydney-related angst later. More interestingly, I got my first round of results yesterday, and I can't help but feel a little disappointed. For three of my subjects, I got H1s, which I was pretty satisfied with. However, for the last one, the one which I thought I'd performed best in, I got an H2B. I know I shouldn't put too much pressure on myself, but I'd really like to know where I went wrong. Not sure if this standard will be quite enough to get me a transfer into law, we'll have to wait and see how my Semester 2 marks go, but it's not a bad start I don't think.
Hopefully everyone else is enjoying the break as much as me. Are you guys still around in Melbourne, or have we all drifted back to what we know? G'luck with your results everyone!
I've been away from college for a week and a half now. Being at home is quieter and colder. I've been very lazy unpacking, and by the time I do it will be time to pack up again. Why don't I? At least put my clothes in some draws so I'm not tripping over my suitcase?
These holidays seem to be going so quickly. I can't believe that in just a few days it will be half way! I spent the first few days visiting family, (away from home), and then the rest at home re-designing my website (not finished yet) using CSS and "div"s. I've usually gone to see my dad each day, sometimes playing footy and usually seeing my mum both in the morning and later at night.
I got a haircut yesterday, to about half the length it was on top and much shorter sides (it's a bit neater). Now my head's just feelin a little cold.
Earlier today I was a training session for an event in the second semester orientation week, called "Two Minute Noodles are not Enough: A Survival Guide to Living Away from Home", in which we will be facilitate a group of new students on dicussions on some of the issues that students can face focusing on money, food and relationships. We will have several students sitting on the same table and will have a conversation around these issues, I will be making sure the conversation is going where it should go, encouraging them to tell their opionions and ask questions and also give some of my own input as to my own experiences of starting university life.
For the rest of the holidays I hope to finish a song and get the audio track made for a film to be made for the student union's U-Film Fest.
The semester has come and gone, and with it has gone any petal-bordered, silver-spooned, speech-night private school delusions of what First Year really is. Instead, it has been replaced by Utter Reality. And what is the reality? Well, to be honest, the reality rocks, as long as you handle it right. All in all, I think I've handled it pretty well (though I have a sneaking suspicion that the Maths and Stats department of the Uni may well not agree with me on that count). I've somehow managed to achieve that fine line between stressing about exams as much as Sophie does (I'll be surprised if that poor woman has any hair left by the end of third year) and failing, managed to hit that balance between co-curricular and glandular, and above all I've managed to really go fowards for the first time in my life since I got back from China. So, to be honest, I feel over-qualified to offer my own advice to you little Year 12s on how to make your first semester rock like mine did. Here goes -
- Don't join the Young Socialists unless you want to spend a lot of time putting up posters
- Don't join the Young Liberals unless you want to spend a lot of time harassing Young Socialists who are spending a lot of time putting up posters (who says I can't be biased?).
- The sign saying "No ball games on the South Lawn" is not a rule, it's a CHALLENGE!
- The following clubs are only recommended for those who hold certificates in Liver Abuse - Engineering Student's Society, Science Students Society and More Beer Club.
- The only thing that could improve the Student Union Computing Centre is free coffee. Seriously, you people rock!
- Do not, under any circumstances, even entertain the idea of taking Engineering Communcation.
- If anyone carrying only a bag at most takes the lift in Union House for only one floor whilst you need to sprint up to the Computing Centre on the Fourth Floor to print, then you have permission to go at them with a crowbar.
- Metlink inspectors are not human beings. They are the sort of people who take malicious pleasure in your financial misery.
- Clubs and Societies are fantastic, especially for people who aren't quite as outgoing as myself. If you're an Engineer, then stagger on over to More Beer. If you have any sort of normal tastebuds, then Chocolate Lover's Society is... mmm. If you're nerdy in the slightest, then any group in that room in the basement is double plus good. Seriously, there is no reason to feel alone at UniMelb (unless of course you went to a Public School**).
- Sorry, kids, but pacing around the room in circles saying "f***f***f***!" won't actually get your essays done. (Thanks Kath!)
- Before embarking on any student-society-led camps, it may well be a good idea to lacquer your private parts, hence making it far easier to remove the permanent black marker once you wake up.***
- Arts Courses are for people who live for the now, Commerce Courses are for people who live for the future, and Biology Courses are for people who don't want to live anymore.
- It's just a general guideline, but I would generally suggest that you don't treat your booklist as an assortment of Optional Purchases.
- If anybody out there wishes to hack into and reprogram Webraft, quite frankly they're welcome to try.
- Make the first few weeks of semester - at least - "yes" weeks. Just say yes to anyone and anything. Free to go to that party on Wednesday? Yes. Another souvlaki-eating challenge? Yes! Even though you're straight, are you open to new ideas? Ye... hang on...
- There are so many facilities out there provided by every faculty that it should be impossible to fail. USE THEM.
- Pay your union fees, children. Don't get sucked into the whole image of the Union as a Howard-Hating, leftist-ranting organisation that was last relevant to the world in roughly June 1972. You never know when you might need their services (Student Representation, Welfare Dept etc) and in the interim plenty of other people do.
- There is a rumour that apparently every college has a pit to burn money in the middle of it. I know that the whole social scene rocks and your meals get "cooked" (cooked, run over, same thing) for you, but, let's face it, $400-$450 a week buys quite a nice share house and an awful lot of parties. Consider carefully if the facilities are really worth the extra before signing on.
- People who have drunk far too much alcohol make stupid decisions, so don't forget to bring a camera.
- Try not to contract Melbourne Uni Wanker Syndrome. It's often difficult to detect but wearing your College polo top more than two days a week could be one of the main symptoms.
- Never, ever, EVER let someone sit by themselves in any lecture, prac or tute in the first month or so of Uni without offering the seat next to you. This is Uni, not the train.
- Last of all, if you're not having fun, do something about it! Work out what the issue is and try to confront it. Be honest. If you're doing what you're doing for the job prospects or the money, be honest to yourself and transfer courses. If you're lonely, go and join a club or a group, PLEASE. University is not a means to an end, or it isn't for me. So, people, always have fun.
And on that little note, I am (most ironically) off to go to work.
Enjoy the break,
Jez.
** - JOKE
*** - NOT A JOKE
Things have been wonderfully busy and stressful as my holidays have turned into a "How much can I fit in 24 hours?" game. It is usually a good thing as I become so physically exhausted sleep is a haven that I fall into with ease...however at times my excitement at everything I'm involved with causes sleep to become extraordinarily difficult. So I seem to fall between the two extremes.
I still haven't done half of what I want to do yet...I'm hoping towards the end of this week I'll have a few days of sheer relaxation as I stay at a wonderful 5 star hotel in the city with J while the floors in his house get re-done as his parents are away. I am so excited - this means Trampoline icecream every night for 3 nights straight!!!!! Supposedly he has organised some kind of 'surprise' for me to....it's all a big secret...so I'm full of questions which he refuses to answer!!!!
The last few days has been a mix of working horrid 7am starts at Target for thrilling "Stocktake". If I describe any further, you will no doubt fall asleep on your keyboard. The level of tediousness is indescribable. The only positive to it is that it motivates me even further to work as hard as I can do get the job I really want (far far far far farrrr away from retail).
In great contrast to this slave labour for androids, I have also been working for a contact in the business world which has, within days, become one of the most interesting things I'm doing right now in my life. I am learning so much and it is just so fascinating! At the same time I feel I am contributing something (though somewhat small) to a business project. As a first year Commerce student, I recognise my absolute privilege in being offered such a fantastic opportunity and I am getting as much out of it as possible.
Within the last few days I have also enjoyed a fantastic dinner at a Thai place on Brunswick St across from the Veggie Bar (which couldn't fit our group of 7 in!). It was a charming meal, most likely better than anything we would have had at the Veggie Bar (it's too noisy there for a group!).
We sat on the floor on beautiful decorative cuisions, surrounded by dim candle-light, as we enjoyed yummy (but hot!) curries with coconut rice, accompanied by red and white wine. It was strange how comfortable I felt with a group of people I really hardly knew. Normally it takes me a long time to relax around people...but here I just felt completely at ease. My best friend M did come along...but everyone else I was only pretty much acquaintanced with. They were all such great people though. So utterly non-sleazy, intelligent, funny, interesting and mature. It was a relief for me to have such an enjoyable time with a group of people after the terrible experience of going away with the 'friends' in my year level.
Amongst great discussions with everyone, some highlights were the stories from Mr Exchange Student where we heard about living in Holland....from the true meaning to the word "coffee shop" (i.e shop where you buy marijuana not coffee!), the ability for prostitutes to make tax dedectable purchases (it is a recognised profession) and the formation of the "Political Party for Paedophiles" (which even in liberal-minded Holland has caused much outrage), Mr Canada inviting me to a "Canada Day" party this weekend and of course the eating of my home-baked and decorated cupcakes (made to celebrate Mr Exchange Student's 22nd birthday!).
It was so perfect how everyone just clicked considering that not everyone knew each other. The jokes were numerous, the humour shared. Such a great feeling.
J and I also had a fun adventure taking my two youngest brothers to Luna Park yesterday! Fairy floss = YUM!
Anyways...I have to go for now. I need to timetable my next few days.
I'm excited - tomorrow night is the PIS ANNUAL DINNER!!!!
Yay for politics!
