~being a beach butterfly~

Friday, April 13, 2007

We get a 2 week respite from uni and most of the people have fled Canberra in search of greener pastures out of town or to spend the holidays with their family. Since my bank account is still closer to Nicole Richie's dress size more than anything and have no family in Australia to speak of.. I am stuck here in Canberra. It seems.. the only uni student who shakes her head in misery when asked "what are your plans for the hols?!".

Oh. woe is me.

So instead i have decided to be a dorkus molorkus and make a head start on the assessments that are nipping at my toes. They're all going to drown me when the break is over so I have been working on them slowly so by the time everyone's back from wherever they went.. I'll be all relaxed and happy (yeah. right. as. if.)

I so want to amuse you all with stories of new places and adventures. Unfortunately. My life has been boring so I can only treat you with the mundane. So if you decide to stop reading now. I won't blame you. In fact.. save yourselves now.

-----------------------------

Kicked off the 2 Week Break with Yet Another Bar Night. We don't really get as wild as some people imagine we get. It's just a time when uni students take a breather from the essays, presentations and reports to hang out and take embarassing photos.

Like so:

-------------------------

On Easter..

(by the way.. BELATED HAPPY EASTER GUYS!!!)

We went to St. Christopher's Cathedral in Manuka. Jeff, my (non-Catholic) boyfriend, went with us because he just wanted to witness a Catholic Service. He said he liked the 'Peace be with You' portion best. I'm sure.

After the mass we went to our Filo friend's house for a barbie. Had dizzying amounts of food, awesome company (with some friends who drove all the way from Sydney) and lots of laughter. It's great spending Easter with people I have come to consider family here. Especially Filipino friends who give you a little taste of home.

I have yet to track down the pictures. Will post some when I find them.

---------------------------------

ooooohh.. and Jeff and I celebrated our first year anniversary last april 1st.

It was a cheesy night.. the details of which is between him and me.

--------------------------------

That's all i have to say for now. I wish I had more exciting things to tell you guys (and by you guys.. I mean the 2-3 people who actually read this and the poor sods who happened to stumble upon this poor excuse for a blog)..

I am running out of books to read as I have been going through them so fast it'll make your head spin. I have youtubed anything I can think of. I have re-watched Sex and the City for the enth time. I am well head of my uni work.. I've even started on next semester's (JUST KIDDING!). I am just dying of boredom.

Nevertheless. . I think I'll be fine. Because in our freezer is a box of this:

If I can't have it in my life.. at least I know there's some in fridge.
