Finding the secrets that everyone holds

She's back! SQUEEEEE! *is bursting with happiness*

I finally got my blue belt. It's such a beautiful rich blue. I wish I could've had it longer, but I'll have to add my stripes. Tonight my pretties!

Work tomorrow. I should've done a lot more housework today. Oops. But I've been feeling more productive since I started at CAST. It feels good to do work I like.

Pride Fair Day itself was pretty lame, but once we left, the evening/night/morning was awesome. Got drunk on cheapish wine, played cards, made new friends, danced at Uber and danced at the Beat, and danced some more. God I missed that. Went home at 4am. The music at Crystals was awesome. My distaste for the Beat has been shifted somewhat.

I've been setting up a website on Wordpress as an online resume. Only problem is that I can't have many details on there just in case of spammers/stalkers/hackers etc.  It's looking ok so far, but I can't decide on what sort of 'look' I should have: plain and simple to read or modern and funky and a bit more professional.

I'm getting a new digital camera too. Wee! Panasonic FS7 I think. I've researched everything about it and the place I can get it from, so here's hoping it won't turn into a nightmare.



I don't know what to make of things in my head atm. It may be a little dangerous.

Assignments are all finished and handed in! YAY!!! I was so over it all by the time I had to hand it in. I was nervous, but I could not be bothered trying to read over it again just to be sure.

I'm setting up my pay for the metals place. I have no idea how much I'll be paid, but it sounds pretty good so far.

I'm still thinking of QIMR. I'll speak to my supervisor tomorrow. Poor woman was feeling a bit sick today, so it was just me and the girl who got the job that I had applied for. Turns out she's pretty nice. I thought she was being really snobby to me when I first met her, but she's just very abrupt. She's got a bitchy streak through her, but so far, it's been okay.

I miss Ena so so much. She'll be back next Tuesday, but today she got an email saying that they might be sending her to Gayndah on Thursday. If that's the case, then I will only see her for 2 days before she gets shipped off again for another two and a half weeks. Dammit.

Apparently she's been getting a lot of study done during her days off though. Roma doesn't have much of a town per se, so she's been bored stiff at home.

Also, my parents are away, and so I've been in the house alone. Unfortunately my Aunty Judy has taken that as a sign to be really clingy and pounce on me whenever I get home, and ask me over for dinner to talk about the very mundane events of her day, and to repeat over the things I've already told her about my upcoming events. Talking about swine flu is getting a bit old too.

Anyway, I probably should go to bed... I stayed up way too late last night. I couldn't sleep because I had my study sleep pattern going on. wake up at noon, go to bed at 2am.

Things are really hotting up. I'm now in full swing, working for the metals CRC. It's really exciting, and challenging. I realised how scared I am of contacting people I don't know. Making all these new connections is scary. And being a representative for the entire organisation/event is nerve-wracking. I am getting the hang of it though.

Only problem is that I'm finding it really hard to concentrate on my assignments with all these new and interesting project tasks. I just wish they would be done. And that's not a good thing for my effort levels ... and considering they are worth 50% each... EEEEP...

Gah! I'm so nervous about writing as is with my professional writing course being so pedantic about spelling, grammar and general constructions. But now being in constant contact with various important people via email and other pieces of writing, it's making my stomach clench.

Also: I've been a right shit the past couple of days. Thank you for putting up with me, Ena. I love you.
