Random Sunday Ramble

Right, so I FINALLY took the plunge and booked my flight to Brisbane today. I thought that if I didn’t take the plunge, then I was never going to do it. So on November 5th I’m off for a few weeks on much needed R & R and of course occasionally working to pay my way (of course after I submit a plan... if anybody concerned is reading this:)).

Okay, I’m admittedly an airline snob, but due to my own apathy, I have caved and had to book Garuda. I remember saying to a friend that I’d rather swim to Brisbane then fly Royal Brunei…. I’m having second doubts=) I’m sure it’ll be a stunning few hours and I’ll make sure that I don’t get seat 36F, which I’ve been assured is a window seat without a window… great.

Was having an airline chat with a friend last night and of course she had to point out the Emirates special that was in the Herald, $208 one way to Brisbane… go bloody figure! Just as I book my ticket on shoe box hell, my fav comes up slightly cheaper. Oh man!

Oh well, thanks for that man=) I’m imagining hanging out by the pool, in nice and sunny and warm and sunny and warm (did I mention sunny??) weather! I’m easy to please, it only takes a tummy sunning to make me happy! The weather has been so crap here recently. I wasn’t in NZ last Spring, but I’m sure it wasn’t like this… maybe it was worse. I swear, Auckland has the worst weather in the world! How is a person supposed to wake up happy and rearing to go, when outside is sticky, humid, hailing, windy and raining. You put on a jacket and the temperature is 30 degree an hour later. Leave the woolies at home and it starts hailing… YOU CAN’T WIN! It really does test my patience!

Now I’m just rambling. New discovery of the day is the “much better then the last time I tried it” munchy mart coffee, which is perfect when munchy mart is the only thing open on campus during the weekend. It’s definitely not Starbucks, but a hell of a lot better then the coffee I remember from NUS, which woke you up with a jolt, purely cause it tasted like poison (survival mechanism). So I’m sitting here on a Sunday, happily drinking my non-Robert Harris (which is crap anyway) coffee from the Robert Harris cup and thinking that I should be studying. OMG study!

Am definitely starting to get stressed! 3 exams in 2 weeks! It’s not so much the stress which sucks, rather the way the stress makes you act. Don’t know about anybody else, but I start to treat people that I love like crap. It’s never anything that they’ve done, it’s just me and my insane mind. I swear I’m going to start hearing voices soon (outside of the one’s that I’ve always had). So I apologise to everybody I’ve ever been mean to, nasty or just plain ignored during exam time. To the rest of you, well I probably meant to do that;) (kidding… not…. Nah I really am).

Okay, I am now feeling officially coffee sick and am starting to think I really should stop typing such crap and do some work. Guy who never stops eating (he’s on his 5th banana in 2 hours!!!!!) is staring at me funny, definitely some sign from a higher source that I should stop now and bugger off to do some real work=)
