'She was as easy as the TV Guide crossword' -Metaphor found in a year 12 HSC essay


The amusing thing is that I was actually correct in stating that I wouldn't have enough time to make an entry. The truth is that I haven't made any time, and that's simply because I don't like the idea of frittering away countless hours in front of the computer.

But, thanks to Katy bugging me about it when we drove to Brisbane the other week, I felt I ought to get off my pompous perch and post a pickle of a point.

Well, not really a point...I just liked the way that sentence was going. lol.

For all intents and purposes, I'm loving university life. I was not much of a social creature in high school [though some may disagree], and I'm pretty much the same way now, lol.

I've found that by not having various associates during lectures, I actually learn more. Surprising, I know.

The opposite is true for tutorials and practicals. I have friends in all my subjects, but owing to the size of my lectures, and the various times people arrive, I've only been able to sit next to them once or twice. Tutorials, however, are much smaller groups for a reason, and I have a few good mates there.

To use a McDonalds trademark without permission, 'I'm lovin' it'

While I cannot sum up my current existance with the same amount of flowery words as Flynn, you know what I mean.

My living arrangements with my Aunt and Uncle are great, and the greatest blessing of all is my foray into the Young Single Adults and, in particular, Institute.

I knew it would be, but it's still a surprise to be a part of this whole new world for me. The YSA I've met are so openly strong in the church, that it's refreshing to have peers that can be so...well...open about it.

Back in Toowoomba, you knew the church was true, but none of the other youth said it, unless on special occaisions. Meanwhile down here, it's just a part of casual conversation, observations and that.

It isn't bragging, it's just a normal conversation, and it's really quite liberating.

One of these days I'll get my digital camera out and take some photos to post up here.

Right, well. I've submitted my first assignment to the online Psych site, and while I don't feel comfortable about the quality, at the same time I feel as though it's been written the right way.

Kind of odd really. I just started writing it up, and I knew to write it that way.

I guess we'll see if it was a folly or fantastic when I get the marks back in a couple of weeks.

The only downside is that I am still unemployed. This is my fault, and I'm not going into detail because I've walked that road before. Anyhow, I have three promising options cooking away, hopefully one of them will give me a ring.

Money is a big problem, even more so now, but when hasn't it been?

It's not strangling me, I'm not starving and [so far] it hasn't affected my education. I would appreciate having the prescribed $189 10th edition textbook for Chemistry, but I believe I can make it without it.

The proof is in the pudding, as they say.
