God, I could update this more than every three months. But no, I once again stumble down the lazy path and flop myself on the metophorical couch of all things sloth. So you'd think after three months of nothing I'd have a few things to report? I'll see what I can do but no promises...
Well I got all my wisdom teeth taken out nearly a month ago. Hell in my mouth it was. Everything was going swell until maybe the fourth day when the pain was so bad I thought my head was going to crack. Turned out I had a blood clot formed on my back right socket, so the dentist had to pull it out and dress it and clean it. OUUUUCH. Never NEVER again. Thank God I got all of them out at once! But the bad news is I was off work for over a week and now have absolutely no sick leave left. Got a bit of a warning from my temporary team leader about it too, which is a shame cos I'm off work sick today too with a bloody chest infection. Talk about being in the wars, cripes...
Two weeks ago I went to Wellington...no that's not news, I know. I went there to check out the university! It was GREAT! I can't wait to start! I think it's a good thing I'm finally ready, otherwise I'd probably be floundering around companies like TelstraClear for the rest of my life. Not a good look. But yeah, I enroll in September I think and have already applied for a student allowance, student loan (seeing which one I can get!) and accommodation up there. Brill!
Big EXCITING news is that I'm going to Cyprus, Dubai and Athens in about five weeks. I can't believe I'm going somewhere other than Australia! I'm sort of scared, I've never been so far away from New Zealand and no doubt it's gonna be incredibly different, especially Dubai. But I'm pretty sure I'll love it, especially the weather - between 25 to 35 degrees every day! BLISS! Get out of this God awful cold we're getting, although to be fair now that we're getting into spring it's not so bad. And Christchurch is sooo pretty in spring, all the daffidols and cherry trees in bloom. Just gorgeous. Won't ever find another city like this I think.
And now I really can't be bothered writing anything else. How inspired is that? Things between me and David are all good, I love him to bits even if he is a hopeless clutz. Family is all good, I'm making some friends at work and having a great time with them. Bugger, was supposed to go out for drinks with them tonight. What a bitch! My fucking chest never wants to get right...okay I might write something later when the time is right. At the moment my nose is full of snot, my lungs full of fluid and my head, as always, filled with nothing. Ciao!
