touched by the news
i am so sadden by the news of steve irwin's death that i'm beginning to think something is wrong with me! as silly as he sometimes was he did so many great things for australia that it is terrible for us to lose such an icon. when lozz msged me this morning at 1am i thought she was joking. then i think maya rang me at about 3 or 4am which i don't quite remember so i should find out if we spoke for long. anyway, the news surprised me.
so the weekend was labour day weekend so i had three days off. i can't remember when i posted last but i know it wasn't over the weekend. friday night after we had the bbq at lorey and keith's i went out and met up with rodolfo and a few girls and hung out with them for a while before coming home and reading (i'm reading a really good book at the moment called one bullet away). i don't think i slept well and on saturday arvo i went and picked up sarah (the aussie i met at the lcc meeting a few months ago) and a couple of her friends and we went downtown and did a riverboat cruise. chicago is such a beautiful city. it was amazing, being out on the lake at night and looking at the city spread out and twinkling. breathtaking is the word that comes to mind. i am sure melbourne is just like this, but i am not a tourist in melbourne. when i was i thought it was pretty awesome.
sunday arvo i met up with marcella, bibi and the girls and we went up to lake geneva in wisconsin. we went late enough that the shops were closing within half an hour or so which was perfect because i didn't go in and want to spend the little amount of money i had taken with me. that was a cute little town too.
today i stayed in all day except to run out and buy stuff to make mars bar slice. it's delicious even though it doesn't have the actual australian chocolate in it. the closer has been on since 8am which is great so i've been watching it all day inbetween scrapbooking (not near as much as i should've). greg was over and i wasn't asked if i was having dinner so came up and they'd finished. i was pretty pissed about that and i don't know whether pat realised or if she was just supplying info but greg had done dinner so that might have been why i wasn't asked if i'd be around for it. so i made my own. emily then spat at pat and greg laughed which pissed me off again cause i'd been spat at last week and that would just encourage her and so pat left. just came back. but she likes the slice!! everyone does.
anyway, this week will be busy workwise, i think it's like four 10 hour days but thursday and friday are split days which i always prefer.
anyway, apart from that fun not much to report. spoke to the parents. my fist almost ended up in my mouth to shut me up from speaking back to mum and dad didn't even mention it but the conversation was completely difficult. but i found out i still may as go through the proper application process and hadn in all the paperwork because if i do that i might get accepted an then i can defer. if i don't do the paperwork then i don't even have a chance to get in. obviously mum is happy about me still applying and then deferring because she's given dad the stuff so he can pay the $33 for the application fee.
will go now. the season finale of the closer is on in 40 mins and i need to watch it!
