The holiday seems to have gone by quite rapidly. I know this because I'm going back to classes tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow. And quite frankly I'm dreading every single bit of it. I haven't really written anything at all this holiday, so I should imagine my writing would resemble scribbles. I've discovered an interesting paraody of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. Don't get me wrong, I tried to read the original thing, but it wasn't my cup of tea. The book seemed a lot more interesting when zombies were added to the equation. I did mention that I like all things familiar. I loved Polly Pocket back when I was a kid. My cousin loved them too (and Sailor Moon), and he was a boy. H and I went to Beca's place and I think I started squealing like a high school girl when I saw her collection of Polly Pockets. You'll never guess who else has a liking for Polly Pocket... It seems even boys (other than my cousin) like them. In fact, I think Beca's nephe

one of those days

Canberra still lingers in the back of my mind. I suppose I could call it my getaway plan. I haven't really made my mind up about it yet. But I'll find out once I go down there for a visit towards the end of this year. I haven't told too many people about it, I'd rather keep it to a minimum until my mind is made. The other day I felt the need to get my long hair chopped off. I didn't even think about it and went to the nearest hairdresser in sight, what a mistake that was. Needless to say, my spontaneous course of action lead to much disappointment. It was a pretty bad haircut, I probably shouldn't have kept talking to the hairdresser. We were both so distracted and engrossed in making small talk. I've long discovered retail therapy solves nothing, simply knowing this fact did not deter me from it today. Thankfully my sister was there to stop me from burning my money. This is just one of those odd days, I'm not like this everyday. I'm going to hav

Since my break from blogging, I've been trying to break addictive habits. Namely my too-frequent caffeine intake, wasting my time on video games and nocturnal ways. I no longer sleep when the sun arises, I'm not addicted to video games now, and I've been without coffee for 2 months or so. All I need now is to start jogging... I was somewhat motivated the other day. I was dressed in my running clothes and was about to put on my sneakers until it started to rain... Failed attempt. Sadly, I broke my caffeine ban a few days ago. I wish I could break the habit of talking to you, things aren't exactly sunshine and rainbows all the time. Maybe all I need is a bit of perseverance and a far greater pessimistic outlook. I feel guilty about leaving for Canberra next year since Sylvie is coming back in April. But it seems as though being at home is going to suffocate me. On a lighter note, Amy tells me Chuyen is due in a month. Pretty exciting news, soon Chuyen will have anot

change of plans

It has been quite some time since I updated, so seeing as I'm at the library now I may as well write something. I've been thinking a fair bit over the past few days. Lets just say a certain opportunity arose, a rather good one might I add. At the same time next year, I'll be in Canberra. I got an offer to study arts and psychology. I guess it is a rather rash decision, but I can't see myself working in the science field. I may as well put down the science units I've done for advanced standing. Amy says Canberra is a rather quiet place, I guess I can't possibly get distracted there. The last time I went to Canberra was in 5th grade...
