...And Another Account Amongst Amigos

It's okay everyone. I am alive. I can't imagine how terribly worried all of you must have been about my where-abouts, but fret no longer for I am still active. But in all seriousness, this blog is back with a different look because sometimes change is for the best ... and besides I was getting sick of the yellow. You feeling me?

Right now I am currently in the middle of Student Vacation which unfortunately goes for a time span of 1 week, unlike those MAC students who get an additional week ... those bastards. I thought there would be a balance of studying and social life, unfortunately the latter has outweighed the former significantly, which is why today I decided to stay home all day and catch up on academic objectives instead of being at the beach. Oh, and to eat ice-cream, people.

These past couple of days have been really great, specifically because of the uni results that have come out. Whilst I was unable to pwn any assessments or exams, I didn't fail any either, which is great for me because I really thought I would have.

Such is life:

Monday: Had the best Monday morning, because as you all should know, I just love being woken up by Jeaneline and Adrian to talk on the phone at 7am in the morning. Keep it up guys. In all seriousness, we had a discussion on what movie we would be watching and what time. We all agreed to watch Wall-E. I opted for an evening time slot, however we had no choice but to watch in the afternoon if Jeaneline was to make it to her mom's birthday dinner.

In the end, due to my lateness, we were heaps late to the movie (half an hour late) so we ended up just bumming at Rouse Hill with Ivan and Lawrence talking about a million things in the deserted food court. Afterwards we crashed Jeaneline's house in Kellyville which is freakin huge. When I pulled up on her driveway, we were like 'damnnnn'. You'd think Mariah Carey lived in that joint.

At around 6 we went back to Rouse Hill to pick up Tim, and then drove back the other way up to Castle Towers to have dinner at Hog's Breath. I should get a prize or some form of recognition for being the only noble person on my table to eat everything on the plate.

Tuesday: Since we were unable to watch Wall-E the day before, Adrian, Jeaneline and myself watched it today. My thoughts of the movie? While I thought it was really original, smart and entertaining, it's not something I'd watch again on my own accord. A good movie none the less. After the movie, we ate some churros because no visit to Rouse Hill is complete without the consumption of these spanish treats.

Afterwards I rushed back to St Marys soccer fields and met up with Jinno and Toby for a game of headache and more.

Wednesday: I made my way to Blacktown Library in the morning to study economics. I anticipated that the library would be packed full of HSC'ers, but to my surprise vacant tables came in plenty. While studying in the quiet room, the girl on my table sneezed right in front of me, so I politely said 'bless you' in a tone that I'm sure could be heard by anyone within 5 metres. I looked at her for a couple of seconds expecting her to say 'thank you', but what do I get? Nothing. She continued on studying as if I didn't say anything. How embarassing for me.

I also ran into Kirill and Angel (who scared the heck out of me) at the computers labs and then eventually met up with Jeaneline to go on an unplanned adventure around the world.

It's amazing how hard it is to find a place to eat. Actually, it's not 'finding' the place that is hard, it's more the process of 'thinking' of a place to eat. After almost a half hour of thinking where to eat, we decided to get a large pizza from the Pizza Hut at Glenwood (good timing too for their lunch special). We took the pizza to the park with the flying fox and talked about a million things.

We then went up to Kellyville to randomly crash Scarlett's place who I had only just met that day. Cheers for the chewy. After that we went joy-riding looking at pretty houses until we finally tried crashing Julienne's place. She wouldn't pick up her phone so we assumed she was uni. We also tried crashing Kevin's place but he was at work. So we went back to Blacktown and picked up Shirley and hung at Westpoint. Cheers for the easy-way ... even though you left your rubbish in my car.

Thursday: Woke up at 10, picked up Adrian and headed off to Jasmine's place for another movie marathon and bike riding. We watched:

• The Devil Wears Prada - Not the best movie out there, but still an enjoyable watch.
• Battle Royale - We watched this for the sake of entertainment despite the fact we had all seen this. Funny moments were spawned, including the 'over-exaggerated death' of one of the girls. Frankly I cannot concur with that observation.
• The Butterfly Effect- I hadn't seen this movie before, so obviously I was in strong agreeance with watching this. I never really thought much of Ashton Kutcher as an actor, but after watching this I like him more. A great movie despite all the questions I was asking throughout.
• Zathura - This was another movie I hadn't seen. It was pretty good overall but not overly spectacular.

We also went bike riding over Woodcroft, going back to the park and through the forest where we found a terrorist sitting on slab of rock discussing some sort of instructions to his leader. And to think I asked him for directions to the M7...

Friday: The one full day I commited myself to uni work and it was boring. The only highlight of my day was getting a call from Yen from work and talking about stuff. Thank you for saving me from going madly insane.
