Just now, my mom told me that she couldn't sign into msn to talk with me. Her reason being that she had to upgrade for it to work. My dad then proceeded to tell her, that ours is pirated and that we would get tracked. I then said not to bother, and to ask my brother to do it for her instead, since my dad doesn't know what he's doing.

AND APPARENTLY I WAS ON LOUDSPEAKER. And my dad heard everything. AHAHAHA. I love my life. =D

School is starting tomorrow. Oh the horror/anxiety/excitement/HORROR of it all. T_T I still find it scary, making new friends. And I think I will continue to find it scary for the rest of my life. I never know what to say. But its probably one of those things. Mmmph. I should probably improve my personality. . . or something. But I'm rather content the way I am =.= Baah.

Anyway! For this semester (saying 'year' would be a bit too far into the future for my liking, so I'll stick with semester)

1. I will do my best T_T (even though I'm an intelligent but lazy as hell person who somehow managed to get through the first year with decent marks) =D

2. Eat less at the school cafeteria (their ham and cheese croissants are wonderful, but when calculating the cost I spent there every week. It. Was horrifying. And therefore. I should reduce/stop altogether)

3. Do devotion and at least remember to pray before I sleep/get up. (The only thing I tell God before I sleep is usually wishing him good night. So that must change. *cough)

4. Be less blur. Although I'm not sure how to improve on this point really. Just now I had a convo with my bro. It went like this.

"So how was school?"

"=.= Its Sunday."

See what I mean. FAIL TTM. After that he proceeded to tell me that the heat has fried my brain.

5. Try not to doze off in church services. TODAY I MANAGED NOT TO AT ALL. I'm incredibly proud of myself. When I was back home, my mom made us wake up at 6 and go to church with her. Somehow I couldn't get any sleep the night before. Suffice to say that immediately after the worship service. I sat down. And after five minutes. I knocked out for the entire duration of the sermon. NO JOKE. It was a very good idea that we sat right at the back in the balcony.

6. Try to learn more recipes. I suppose my housemates have now become the guinea pigs. It would be insanely awesome if they ate my cooking and suddenly transformed into animals/pink unicorns/green dinosaurs/rainbow whales. Or something. Hnn.

7. Try to be less sarcastic/condescending. Sigh. Although we know this won't really change. So I guess we can strike this off the list. Haha. But honestly. I'm content. =.= So it probably won't change. Sorry Karl. Gotta love the evil charm.

8. Read more books I guess. It seems like I didn't do that at all during the past semester. But I got some reading done during the holidays. So that was pretty good. =)

9. Procrastinate less. =) T_T I will work out a study time table or something so I don't freak out nearing assignment deadlines. Second year is allegedly the beginning of hell.

10. Learn a new language ( or something). Hopefully by the time I come back I will be able to hide the fact that I'm a banana more convincingly. FAKE IT TO MAKE IT. (But clearly this probably doesn't work in real life) So meh.

I can't think of any more right now. But I guess those are the main things. =) I need somebody to hold me accountable for these things. Or I will never go through with them.

Hnn. I haven't blogged in forever. I only got one hour of sleep on the flight. And the rest of the time spent, was time spent trying to fall asleep. But all unpleasantness aside, the one thing I like about flights is that sort of exclusive view you get of the skyline/the fluffy ice cream shaped clouds/ the night sky with stars sans-light-pollution/the amazing Aussie sunrise, etc etc.

ITS A ' I'M UP HERE, YOU'RE DOWN THERE NYAHAHAHA' feeling!

Okay not really. More like a calm solitude or something philosophical bla bla bla. =)

And then you land and GET HIT BY THE BLARDY HEATWAVE. And proceed to find out that its going to be this way for another month, although the technical term for it is supposedly 'autumn', when it feels like the summer is gonna continue forever and ever and ever. If that made any sense. Rant rant rant. =)

I MISS THE BEACH. But its too much of an effort to go there. So I'm going to stay home in my swimsuit, and pour cold water on myself whenever I get too hot and wait for myself to dry off. AND REPEAT THE PROCESS EVERYDAY UNTIL THE WEATHER GETS COOLER.

. . . I probably shouldn't do that. Since Australia is already short on water as it is. Sigh.
