5.11.02

So its 11:04pm and im at uni.. i dunno why really.. i mean i had to come and get some printouts but i know thats not the total truth... hrmmm *ponders* I think i just wanted to get out of the house, go for a drive, that sort of thing... so i grabbed my iPod and came out... Ive got some tunes playing and its sweet.... being by yourself is somewhat cool....

I got the new killing heidi cd today, some of it isnt too bad, kinda alternative / rock stuff.. bleh ill listen to it for a while and see if it grows on me.

The shit hit the fan today (well not today, but generally oevr the last few weeks) with the subject i am temporarily coordinating.. seems someone cant follow instructions properly upstairs and the exams have gotten a bit mixed up.. sheesh... and to sum it all up there is going to be trouble next week when the cut off date arrives and not all the marks are in :) ha ha, cant wait to see the carange...

Im looking around my little booth here and it is sooo me, without me even trying to make it that way. Ive got empty coke bottles scattered around, for what reaosn i dont know.. and theres a few piles of papers and stuff.. but its cool. I really need to bring out some of my apple posters and put them around.

Ive got a new time-waster... building cude thingies with paper.. hrmm its hard to explain but they are kinda neat... gives me somthing to do when i dont want to do anything... and its kinda productive .. kinda... :)

Went to sizzler for tea tongiht, Ivan and jeab came round to pick up some exams that Ivan is marking.. and they invited me out.. it was cool. Im a 'salad bar' person at sizzler... that does me... and that mincy stuff isnt too shabby at all...

Im looking forward to my trip down south, sent my cousin a birthday card today, ill have to give him a call as well.. Will be good to see both of them again.

Found out today my grandfather is kinda ok, my mum was talking to him apparently and he sounded good, she isnt so sure though from speaking with my grandmother the other day.. weird.. i guess we wait and see.

hrmm, ok, Live has just started on my iPod - time to drive home... :) Live are great for driving and pondering to...

3.11.02

*whew* damn another week gone.... been flat out.. marking exams and stuff. Spent all bloody weekend marking *sigh* i guess ill have to have my weekend later in the week :)

My iPod has been getting a raw spanking lately, damn its handy. Ive got it half full and it rocks! Cant wait to take it on my trip down south. I figured out the other day i will be traveling about a 30 hour round trip :) from rocky to newcastle and back in one weekend. Should be cool though, got some friends to pick up in brisbane who are coming along for the drive.

Its one of my cousins birthdays on thursday... gotta send him a card and somthing. He will be in highschool next year!, damn time flies...

Havnt dont much on my PHD, read a bit of stuff and found some great links. Got a meeting somtime next week to fill my supervisor in on whats happeneing... should be cool. Ill take my iPod along and show him :) he he

Bought spiderman DVD last week... very cool... watched it today while i was marking... cant wait for the sequel... realised i havnt been to the cinema for ages... maybe ill take some time next week and just go....

Work at uni is going GREAT!.. marking exams, writing assignments and exams, course coordinating... keeping me busy but damn its good. Was talking to someone about a webpage the other day, seems that may be coming up as well... Things are going good.

Finalised the VPN program as well, they seem happy. There is some weird problem wiht the installer under OS X 10.1.5 which is really bizarre... but they are getting 10.2 liceses soon so that should be ok.

Someone asked me today if i thought about what i was going to do in the future... and honestly i had to say no.. i dont know.. and for some reason i dont really care, it doesnt worry me. Things at the moment are coasting along, im doing some cool stuff and get to do what i want. yayay!

My grandfather (mums dad) is in hospital in Brisbane, he had a steoke a while ago and had a bit of a turn the other week. Anyway, they had to operate on his spinal cord as somthing was grwing around it, which was causing his spine to have pressure and he couldnt walk. He is still there and they have sent away the gunk they pulled out for testing, as yet they dont know what it is. So ill wait and see. At the moment i can pretty much get up and go at a minutes notice, and its kinda reassuring... i can still do stuff thought email and so forth..

well, thats about it i think. my mind is empty of everything i had to write... if theres anything else i can add it later :)

I need to write some more poems... *sigh*
