Happy NY everyone!! How's everyone's start to '09?? Mine - well... I was working... But NYE was great! J and C were at my place - they stayed over for a couple of days (drove up from Melb!!) and we ended up drinking desert wine to the fireworks. Then on NY, when I headed home after a surprisingly cruisy shift at Ch 9, the three of us had a quiet night - dinner which they cooked up for me (so sweet - thank u guys, thank u guys!) and two downloaded movies - Watched Make It Happen (a dance-type movie which was short and only okay) and How to Lose Friends and Alienate People (which actually wasn't bad. It was quite funny and good).
TY is in Tassie land for NY. He went over with a few friends on a driving trip. I didn't go cause I get car sickness on driving trips. If I drive, I can probably last about 4 hours the longest perhaps... and if I was the passenger (irregardless of the backseat or the front passenger seat), I can usually last about 2.5 hours... Haven't thrown up in a while though. I think the last time was about 3-4 years ago when I went to Great Ocean Rd. But then again, I seem to always throw up on that curvy road. Now, I just prevent myself and say 2.5 hours and we have to stop somewhere. I also rely on my travel sickness bands - they seem to work... so far... But I'd love to go to Tassie sometime and explore scenic places. I heard it's really pretty.
Today - 02/01 - was my day off!! Sent my car into the service centre in the morning to get these suspension oil parts for my car because something was leaking. Then J and C picked me up from the service centre and we went to watch Marley and Me. Didn't think it was THAT sad, but it was. It was funny in the beginning, but it started getting really sentimental towards the end. BUT I loved it. It was such a touching and moving show. It was sooo good. And maybe it's cause I love dogs and it's about a dog and its owner, and yeah, you really feel the emotions of it. Definitely worth watching.
It's nearing that date to accept my course. I haven't accepted yet, but I should really do it soon or else they might not grant me the placements I want. Still waiting on Melb Uni's offer, but I have this sinking feeling that it's not gonna come. I think if it doesn't come on 5 Jan Mon, I might just go ahead with Macquarie Uni. I applied for Centrelink, so I am hoping they will reply soon. It's government assistance for my rent allowance and just normal living allowance. I do hope I get that because I'd only be working one day a week on the weekend and that wouldn't be enough to support me if I do continue to stay up in Sydney. I just want my mind to be finance-free you know... Also, my housemate will be leaving end of the year back to Melb and I'd have to find a new housemate for the following year. If I can't, I might have to move out and stay alone which might cost me quite a fair bit - unless of course I have the rent assistance from Centrelink.
