If we took the holiday, took some time to celebrate...

I just handed in my first draft! Yay! I'm on holiday. I'm just about off for lunch with Anna-Kate then to do some xmas shopping. We are having flat xmas dinner tonight before everyone leaves.

I probably won't be updating my blog for a while since we have no computer at home so:

Merry Xmas!!!

3 sleeps to go...

Yes, I hand in my first draft on thursday and it is practically finished. Yay me! It is already to go, in one big document, I just have to spend the next couple of days proof reading, etc. ready to hand in. I'm so excited!

I had a good weekend. Friday night was a quiet one but now that I'm 25 and old quiet is good.

Kat and I started our xmas shopping on Saturday and actually it wasn't too bad. I annoyed Kat by not hating xmas shopping as much as she did. My lo-lights were that intense feeling of claustrophobia you get shopping at this time of year & screaming brats in Toyworld but my hilights included not hearing 'Snoopy's xmas' once. I hate that song!

Oh and we saw the NZ Idol pahi (bus) passing through town. Steve went to my church and I ran into his sister, Kirsten, who is also a friend of mine.

My friend, Abby graduated on Saturday. We were around for the parade but I didn't see her. It's so exciting! Everyone looks so good in their gowns and hoods. I can't wait to graduate again. I was so nervous the last time but this time I know what it's all about and there is nothing to worry about.

So, Abby had drinks on Saturday night. It was great to catch up with some of my Te Tumu mates. I got dragged into a drinking game after pouring myself a glass of vodka, coke and raspberry (which tasted like cough medicine), I soon switched to OJ and just forgot to mention that there wasn't any alcohol in it.

My mum and sister was up yesterday so we had afternoon tea at Libby's new house. I'm so looking forward to getting home for Xmas so I can be with the whole whanau.

It was my last night playing bass for the year, it went well. I'm not rostered on for January but I might offer to play sometime.

Music: St. Germain - Montego Bay Spleen (Album: St. Germain - Tourist)

OK, now for the game!

I got this from a message board. I don't know how it will work on a blog but I'll give it a go.

This game is called 'The Person Below Me' and it goes like this... The first person asks a question starting with DTPBM (Does the person below me), example: DTPBM like brocolli? Then the next person to comment answers the question and then asks a question of their own.

DTPBM speak another language?

Music: Evan Cowan - Concrete City (Album: Seed)

Why is it raining?

It's not jacket weather, I'm telling you!!! It's not!!!

Grrr!!! Stupid rain! Oh well, I guess I can't really complain since I've been inside all day.

Exactly one week till I have to hand in my dissertation. It's coming along slowly. Hopefully I can have most of it done by Monday so I can read through it a few times. I have a meeting in 15 minutes to go through my last chapter apparently it's not so good. I wasn't really expecting much from the zombie though and now I can fix it.

Anyways, I have music tonight. It is my last service playing bass for the year. Yay for holidays next week!

Anyway, I thought I would start a game but that's a whole other post...

Music: Robbie Williams - They Can't Take That Away From Me (Album - Robbie Williams - Swing When You're Winning)

It's about time I updated this

Hey!

I did update this last week but somehow my post disappeared. I can't believe how fast this year has gone. I have just over a week till I have to hand in my dissertation. Crazy! But I still have lots of hard work to go.

Anyway, I don't really have anything to say.

Music: Andrew Sperber Luke Casey - Preloved Goods (Album - Andrew Sperber Luke Casey - Relaxomatic Projections)

This title has deliberately been left blank

Well, it has been a few days since my last post but I haven't really had a lot to say.

I've just finished writing the first draft of my methodology which I should have done yesterday but I spent most of yesterday visiting my friend in hospital. When I did get to uni I wrote 500 words then I pressed a button and lost the lot, I decided that it had been a stupid day and I went home. It wasn't stupid spending time with my friend, just stupid that she had to be in hospital but she was waiting for the doctor to let her go home when I left. It's scary eh? I don't know what I would do if anything happened to her. I'm trying not to worry, God's got it under control.

I should really start on my next task but I'm too bored. Man, it's lonely in my office, I miss Ngahuia. She used to give me lollies.

I can hear the guys in the Te Whanake online office downstairs, they're playing guitar.

So, here are some random things that I am enjoying at the moment:

1. America's Next Top Model - I love this show! I really want to meet Tyra Banks, she seems like a really down to earth person. I want to be America's Next Top Model but apparently I'm too old, too fat, too short and too not American. I'm going to start my own programme - Un-America's Next Top Midget.

2. I love the fact that Mo (our cat) is sleeping in the box I put at the back door for her to sleep in, it took a lot of persuasion and my flatmates said there was no way she was ever going to sleep in there but she does. Na na na na na! :-p

3. Strawberries! My flatmates are going through a big strawberry phase, so good. We ate a whole pottle of strawberries driving through central Otago the other day.

Music: Johnny Cash - Rock Island Line (Album: Johnny Cash - In Concert)

4. I'm still in my Johnny Cash phase. It reminds me of Azucena and not-so-secret admirers.
