An eclectic mix of updates
I feel like I need an update…
The semester is over- YAY!!!, I handed in my last assignment at the end of last month, and my last exam a couple of weeks ago. I feel very relieved that uni is over and done with for the year and now I have a three month ‘break’ before it starts again next year. I have gotten the results back from two of my courses, one was very good, the other I though I was going to fail the paper, but ended up doing ok in. Funnily enough, the lecturer marking both of these courses was the same person, if I were her I would be scratching my head now in wonder as to how I could do so well in one course and abysmally in another. I will pass my other two courses, so all in all it has been a good year academically.
Work is going well, I am enjoying it when I’m not stressing about the looming deadlines, though things have been a lot better since uni finished as now I find that my mind is not continually thinking about uni related stuff while trying to do others.
On another relatively exciting note
I am finally moving out of home… again. Maybe the third time will work a charm.
Bernice and I have decided to find a place together as she wants to move out of where she is currently living, and I, after some thoughtful consideration have decided that it would be best if I did not live with my mum permanently again. Now that the decision has been made, it is quite cool and I am looking forward to it. It will be interesting living with Bernice, we know each other’s bad habits which is a good thing- no surprises- however, living under the same roof as each other may just turn into a real test of our friendship. I know we can each be rather trying for the other sometimes. Hmmm…
We have decided that we will be doing the big move at the end of January after she gets back from her Christmas holiday seeing as there’s not too many weekends that we each have free leading up till the end of the year.
Speaking of Christmas… it’s now only 30 days away- hooray! It was Khazana’s birthday earlier this and one of the presents Kristelle gave to her and Xavier was a couple of books with the words set to traditional Christmas carols which we all sat around singing last night. My favourite was one with the jingle bells music and was about how Christmas day in New Zealand and the sun, beach, family and BBQ… and for my family that is exactly what Christmas is about so it was cool singing about it. Also Christmas carols are becoming the thing that I listen to at the moment.
Just because I was bored, I did a which Christmas carol are you quiz. Apparently I am ‘Silent Night’. I enjoy Christmas and I like them conventional, that means, family, tradition, midnight mass and a whole raft of other christmasy type things, except I hate the shopping, but I love the wrapping and giving of gifts, I love carols and I probably will have a merry Christmas. Surprisingly, this is quite an accurate description of how I like my Christmases.
I have been told I need to challenge myself to do something different, more specifically, I should undertake a physical challenge this being, the formally know as Special K Women’s Triathlon or Duathlon, or rather I should challenge myself to run 5km, all at once. I am not fond of running, walking is more my thing, but I am going to try this as I have been dared to. I am not entirely sure of my reasoning behind this, but I suspect it’s because A) I want to prove that I can, and B) its a dare and while I’m not overly fond of undertaking dares, this one is not a stupid one and, well refer to point A.
Other than that, life is… happy
