A month n a week since I've been here
It's gone by pretty quick. Or not. Depending on which way u look at things. Not all of my furniture is here yet.. It'll take about another month or so before EVERYTHING fully gets here. I have a bed half set up, but no mattress. I have a coffee table and a carpet. I have no curtains/blinds. We have one bed among the two of us. The whole place is friggin incomplete n we have no privacy whatsoever. Everything u say could potentially be heard by the whole apartment and its surroundings. And I'm using up my savings like I'm leaking water. Ouch.
On top of that, I'm constantly tired. I think I'm severely lacking sleep from waking up early every morning to attend my 8 am lectures and get to work on time on Saturdays. But when Sunday comes and I try to sleep in, 9.30am is the latest I can get. I even took a nap this evening and I'm still so tired. I've got early starts and late finishes everyday and I don't want to whinge but I feel like taking a whole day off just to myself. Just to slack. Ahahah.. some might say that's what I've been doing this whole time. Yes, I admit. I have missed a couple of lectures already.. but at least it's not half as bad as some of the people I know here.
Good thing is, I have made some friends.. Nothing miraculous. No instant clicking or anything of that sort. Maybe it's still too early to tell but I don't know if the friends I've made are the kind that I can hang around with and so on. Maybe it's just me. My sis and I were discussing this the other day - whether I was a nerd or not. I don't like clubbing, I don't drink, I don't smoke, I almost never go out late... so does that make me a nerd? I reckon, by definition, yes, I am a nerd. But I don't think I'm a nerd, though. My sis asked whether I felt I was a nerd even before we moved to Oz, or was it just recently. And I said maybe I was nerdy back then too.Yeah, sure i had my share of fun n bfs. But I still studied. I placed a lot of importance on getting good results, or at least half decent ones. So am I nerdy, then? Maybe... ahahha or maybe it's just cos I'm not 18 yet. Well, put it this way.. if i turn 18 at the end of this year and I'm still the way I am at the moment, then I know that I truly am nerdy. And there's no denying it.
Re: hanging out - Me, Steph and Angie are going to watch 'Hitch' this Tuesday. I thought I might change it to monday cos me n steph finish late on tuesday. See how things go. So exhausted. Anyway it'll be 2nd time watching Hitch. Hilarious show.. She's got a new bf. Already. I'm kinda jealous in a way.
I can't believe Aun Joe still flits through my mind unexpectedly. It pisses me off. Especially when I cannot even handle bumping into his friends.
