Uni Daze

Happy Birthday Rhyan for Friday, and John for today :o) Tis the beginning of the April bday's, have at least 3 more to go that I can think of .. and they're all boys' birthdays too :p

So I've been working on this darn template and it's still not entirely working the way I want it to .. I can't get some silly trash can icon to display in the comments field on an archived page .. I think it's because I'm using tables as my main frame, and it probably prefers divs or something .. not entirely sure so i might play with it again later ...

Man, my sleeping patterns are really screwed up atm! I went to bed pretty late this morning, and had problems falling asleep ... it's strange, since starting work, staying up past midnight has been hard - even on the weekends ... but now, it feels like uni days all over again :p going to bed after midnight, waking up around lunchtime - i dont even do that on the weekend! .. and this has been my longest break from work ever! I have never had more than 5 days off work before, and now I have 7 .. though it hasn't been quite a holiday as I have had surgery and am still not 100% .. I've almost finished my antibiotics (thank goodness, they taste awful!), and am off my painkillers .. the day I stopped taking them was bad as I had a slight pain in my head and my mouth really ached but now it's much better .. my mouth still feels a bit sore when i talk/laugh too much, and it feels a bit like i have a major cavity in my teeth at times, but it is getting better each day .. my face is still bloated (i think it is - unless it was just fat before surgery :p) and apparently bruised .. I can't see the bruising that much, but alan/my mum/sista all commented on it y'day when they first saw me ... i must be blind :p

Last night, I was up chatting to Baz on msn .. haven't chatted to ppl in a while online - prolly cos i'm rarely ever there :p We were reminiscing about uni days - some good and some bad memories .. they say that uni days are the best days in your life (not sure who "they" are though :p) and i guess part of that is true .. i have quite a few bad memories of uni unfortunately, but even some of the bad i can now look back on and laugh about ... We still remember the dates and days of certain events which affected us back then .. where we were when we found out certain news ... songs which we associate with our past (Baz mentioned Dancing in the Moonlight, which was one of the songs I loved in first year ... the song which i remember from first year is Shaggy - It Wasn't Me because some sleazy guy i knew used to play it all the time :p .. come 2nd year, i had moved onto John Mayer - thanx to Jon Poon - and Jack Johnson) ... the train trips in and out ... the great food eaten in the cafeteria ;o) A lot happened in that ugly tower building and surrounding areas - friendships were formed and some lost .. relationships blossomed and some died ... laughs were had, and possibly tears? ...

So I was lying in bed last night and thinking about it .. how times have changed since then, how i grew up a lot since first year (not physically of course :p) ... how my fashion has definitely changed! I discovered hipsters, and dont think i could go back to higher cut pants! i loved my royals but haven't worn them since 2nd/3rd year ... my attitude to things have changed - you learn from your experiences and i guess i have experienced and learnt a lot since first year ... first year camp where alan thought tib/baz/i were all weird seems so long ago ... i can also find my way around the city now (i had no idea before ...) :p

I miss being able to go to broadway in my breaks and buying gelato! :o) hmm rocher .. and having long chats with Chito about random stuff :p ... or going with Tib/Xerx/Baz etc after handing in an assignment or sitting for an exam and feeling like we deserved that treat ... :o)

but then there's a lot i dont miss too but i guess that happens ...

so whilst uni was fun, i'm okay where i am at the moment too ... there have been lots of good memories from work too and i'm sure there are more to come too :o) .. Alan started in my team today, that should be weird working along side him :p good luck to him though :o)

hmm going to go eat lunch .. appetite has increased and the range of food i can eat has also increased :o) i dont mind jelly + custard but i'm not the biggest fan - i'd rather eat chocolate paddle pops :o) Lauz came home y'day and we made won ton :o) yay meat! :o) and she made some noodles too :o) yay to variety!

I miss my Grandmother cos she used to make the won tons so nicely - Lauz' + my folding looked like a disaster :p I think i have been folding it really wrong .. but i think i worked out what i'm doing wrong :o)

I also have watched too much tv .. all mtv were showing the whole weekend seemed to be the Wade Robson project - hehe i admire all the dancers but there's only so much of that i can watch .. i've also watched A Cinderella Story, Wimbledon and Suddenly 30 .. wimbledon sucked but surprisingly, suddenly 30 was good :o)

ta ta, will post again later hopefully :o) hope the bday boys have a good day :o)
