Well not much really happening these days. Exam season at the moment, so all I’m really doing is sitting at home and studying.
Only interesting thing that has happened is we have purchased a new family car (such as it is) being an s40 T5 AWD. Metallic silver with a few options, nothing outlandish. Were meant to pick it up today but that never ended up happening because of complications with the protection pack that was being fitted (paint and interior protection package and legal black tint. So now we are meant to be getting it tomorrow. Lets not all hold our breath though!
So the Melbourne trip for xmas might be cancelled at the current rate. We seem to be a little busy come xmas time, and dad is having issues with paying for airline tickets to get us down there, and there is decent as to everyone hoping in a car and making a hellish 1500km – me being one person who is defiantly not doing it. Should be lucky one would say getting the car I guess! I don’t mind buying a ticket personally and flying but I see nothing to be gained from spending 20 arduous and painful hours stuck in a car with one of my sisters. I’d rather be removing my eyeballs with a desert spoon to be frank! Considering we have 5 nights in a hotel with only 2 rooms, I’m going to be stuck on a bloody pull out in the lounge. That means that the girls will want to be up late watching TV or coming in late (as will I no doubt) however the comes undone when you consider that dad will be up at his usual hour of like 5.30am, and his ability to make noise and wander around and want others around him to be up is second to none. Thus I’m going to have 5 nights of ‘holiday’ getting around 5 hours of sleep a night. Hence why I’m less then enthusiastic about having to spent painful hours in the car with them. I can spend that time having a holiday from them by staying at home a couple of days longer and being home a couple of days before them! That’s about the only way I can see that working!
But it doesn’t seem like compromise is going to happen so no doubt it will just be cancelled.
So study, its going. Exams spread over a week coming up starting next Wednesday, then I have a clerkship for 1 month after that. Pretty much takes me right up to xmas. My xmas present was the 2 suits that I got for my job. More then enough I’d say!!
After that I have 1 month wait for megan! Megan, 1 month!! That is of course unless something can be arranged so that we can cut that down by a little! If it can’t be cut down I’ll have all of my brochures and travel guides here and I’ll be planning a trip from Sydney home. Two things I’ll be bringing will be the ipod (which connects into the sound system of the new car) and sat nav (lets hope DJ will let me borrow his for the week!) and we can cruise back up the eastern sea board to get to back to home! No set time frame so I’m thinking 5 days or so.
In that time I’ll be at Sunline I think most days trying to catch up on some work which no doubt will have gotten behind on between now and the end of the clerkship.
Not much else really, killing time for feb 5 really… J
