It's been storming yesterday - hailed in fact, along with lightning and thunder. The hail's ice cubes were about a quarter of a normal ice cube, you know, the one you put into your drink... I actually wore slippers and got caught in the hailstorm and yes, it was painful! My feet actually got cut by the ice cause it was just literally like an ice shower - the only thing - it wasn't fine ice at all. I had an umbrella so my head was protected, but my poor feet and my poor car had to suffer the brunt of it. Some people actually had no umbrella at all and when they were at the traffic light, I felt really sad for them cause they were like "ow, ow" but couldn't do anything. Fortunately the shopping mall is so close to uni. Anyway, I am alright... got home drenched from my jeans down to my feet (because there were ankle-deep riplets), but am safe and immediately put on some bandaids. Surprisingly it wasn't raining that badly near my place.
I am so glad I'm not working this Sunday, but only working Friday and Saturday. I just finished one assignment - a real toughy, and now I have another one which looks like quite a toughy too. Hopefully if I start on it tomorrow night after work, I should finish the readings and then on Saturday and Sunday, it'll be write-up days. Then it's an electronic hand-in on Monday. And then it's down to studying for my exam on Thurs... That's the plan and pray that I'll stick to it. Am feeling super stress really and I haven't felt like it for quite some time... so you know when I end up saying "I just wanna go travelling and leave my course behind" it's not like I'm really gonna do it, it's just trying to enlighten stress... *smiles*
But despite all this stress, I do still feel the love. Thanks to those calling me from a distance and those calling me in Sydney to find out how I am. Sometimes it can get pretty distressing, especially since the assignments are sooo long and my work is on the days that socialising happens (yeah, I don't get to meet a lot of peeps and get close to them, cause I often work Fri, Sat and Sun). Anywayz, I will make it up to my Sydneysider friends who often call me and I can't make it - sowie umpteen times! Believe me when I say I need a social life! Haha! Dun worry, it can start during the hols (but hmm... I might still need to work to pay for the rent... but I am guessing without uni and only work then, I should have more time to spare).
Man! Can't believe it's almost 6 months since I've been in Sydney. Wow! *Breaks into song: I'm a survivor, I can make it...* Haha! Oh, it's the 30th of May! Happy Blessed Bday to Dave (Mary's fiance... hee)!!
